Several candidates have told me recently that they don’t have contracts of employment. How is that a thing?

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

It seems AI might not be coming for all our jobs after all.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Sending out an out of date CV and telling the recruitment consultant to ‘update it’ when applying for a job is not a recipe for success.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Nearly halfway through the year, so how are your New Year resolutions working out?

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Amazingly, top executives feel less worried about the effect AI will have on their jobs than frontline workers.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If you interview someone, the least you can is give them feedback within a day or two. Months later (or never) is unacceptable.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

You’ll be amazed at the number of candidates who can’t manage to turn up on time for an interview.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Big corporates, including Amazon, Meta, Cisco, and HSBC have laid off staff this year already. Are you sure you want that corporate job?

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

There is no such thing as job security. Ask all those guys who used to work for Meta last week.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Just read that employees that work the most unpaid overtime are most likely to be looking for a new job. Not very surprising.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If you think getting a ‘corporate’ job will ensure job security then you clearly haven’t seen the news coming out of
Meta.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If you can only take a phone call after 7pm about the job you applied to, how are you going to go for an interview?

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If you send your CV to a recruiter (or anyone) at least include a note explaining why you are sending it.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

I’m not sure I have ever worked with a client who has ever actually done any research on what a ‘market related’ salary is in reality.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If a recruiter reaches out to you on LinkedIn about a job opportunity and you are interested, provide them with your contact details.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

It’s a good idea to have a written job description even if you feel the job requirements are ‘obvious’.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If a key member of staff hands in their notice at the start of the month and you wait until the end of the month to start looking for a replacement, don’t blame the recruitment consultant who doesn’t have anyone suitable within 2 hours.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

Another company with a commission structure that is ‘ under review’. Translation - we don’t have one.

[Selhurst Recruitment @Selhurst2005]

If the job advert says ‘entry level’ then if you have 10 years of work experience there is a good chance you won’t get short listed.

Why do people send CVs that are password protected?
