@themediamentor There would be SO much to say, I'd love to start one but they are time consuming! :)

[Linsey M @Rec_realities]

There must be, however, companies seem to do this over and over. It's not good in any situation but can be even worse when an applicant has spent time/effort on a pretend pitch, ideas and so forth.
What can be done to change it? and which companies do it well? :)

[The Media Mentor @themediamentor]

Do you think recruitment teams really understand how applicants feel when they get a radio silence, especially after an interview? Leaving people hanging on for weeks is really unfair. I hear this happening so much. There must be a way to improve the process #mediajobs

[Linsey M @Rec_realities]

@themediamentor Actually 3, which was incredibly frustrating and hypocritical - wrote to them and got a response/phone call but it's not on when it could be so easy to respond.
*sigh

@themediamentor 2/2 in the role/job people do and so much more. When it's not done right, an already stressful time, can become even more stressful, impacted peoples mental health, self worth and so on.
(I once had a gym group connected with mental health charities ghost me which was incredibly

[Linsey M @Rec_realities]

@themediamentor 1/2 Yep, definitely. Strange being told it was unusual to care so much when you're dealing with people and their livelihoods - perhaps this explains why recruiters often get a bad rep!
People are busy but people (candidates) are important and if its done right, it's all reflected

Interesting thread about @Deliveroo @hwallop

[Harry Wallop @hwallop]

I spent a week as a Deliveroo rider. And learnt a lot.
First up, Deliveroo likes to claim you should earn at least the minimum wage of £11.44 while working. Me?
I worked for 22hrs 50mins, rode 105 miles, did 27 drop offs and earned £120.38.
That works out at £5.28 an hour🧵

[Linsey M @Rec_realities]

@themediamentor With regards to a recruitment team understanding, it's tricky to say, many have a stable job and are the ones doing the asking.
It could be desensitization, when you're recruiting many and dealing with lots of candidates, the 'thoughts' of one can be overlooked.

[Kevin Burden @kevinburden]

@themediamentor I have literally stopped sharing job opportunities on my 300+ mailing list because failing to communicate with applicants at all, even acknowledge receipt, has become the norm - at the same time as the application process has become so much more demanding.
