Job hunters often don’t understand why employers don’t hire them. Some recruitment efforts fall flat for a number of reasons. Applicants may assume they lacked qualifications or fit, when the reasons for not hiring may be unrelated to them.
A budget that didn’t materialize doesn’t reflect on the applicant any more than does an internal promotion. Assigning deleterious practices, though, to employers, such as attempts to enhance the positioning of a business, may be justified. George Bradbury, founder of Bradbury & Partners Executive Mortgage Recruiting LLC in Atlanta, says some businesses use hiring as a way to market the business.
“They collect resumes via email or online form submissions, which quickly find their way to the circular file — a strategy that can also make them look busy (or may contribute to SEO),” he says.
