Gatekeepers: Essential, But Are They Always Right? Rant alert! Today, I had an experience that highlighted the fine line between protecting a company's time and potentially missing out on valuable opportunities. During a call, I didn't even get a chance to explain myself before being quickly dismissed as "just another marketing call." Not only that, but I was flagged in their system, effectively ending any future chances of connecting. But here's the kicker: this wasn't a generic cold call. It was a genuine recruitment effort intended to assist the company with their hiring needs. Now, I completely understand the importance of gatekeepers. Your role in filtering out noise and protecting your colleagues’ time is crucial. However, interactions like these make me wonder: how many golden opportunities are missed because we mistake them for just more "clutter"? My question to you all is: where do we draw the line? How can we strike a balance between necessary gatekeeping and maintaining an open mind to beneficial outreach? I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts. #Recruitment #Gatekeepers #BusinessChallenges #OpenConversation

The issue of inadequate parking for candidates attending interviews is often overlooked, yet it poses significant risks to both #mental and #financial health. When companies, like #TCS and #Eclerx, do not provide designated parking areas, individuals are forced to leave their vehicles in unauthorized lots, exposing them to the potential for theft, damage, or legal repercussions. The stress from such situations can detract from a candidate's performance and well-being, which raises concerns about fairness during the hiring process. Therefore, it is crucial for #corporates to prioritize and arrange secure parking facilities for interviewees, as this not only safeguards their assets and mental peace but also enhances the company's reputation in the job market.

I’ve been gatekeeping. There ARE actually some hacks to landing a job, and I haven’t owned up to them. I’m just out here telling people it’s hard work and networking and trying to sell yourself. But there’s a MUCH easier way. A few actually! 1. Be born to a successful business owner and work for your family business. Bonus points here because you'll eventually become the business owner yourself! 2. Be the college roommate and best friend to someone who starts their own company that does really well and get them to hire you. 3. Kidnap the loved one of a successful but unscrupulous and greedy business owner. Treat them really well and make sure it’s not a scary experience. Contact the business owner and offer them their choice of paying ransom or offering you a job and never reporting this to police. If you’ve selected someone who is sufficiently greedy, than they will probably be fine hiring someone who has broken the law a little bit as long as they don't have to pay the ransom! These are strategies that unlock the hidden job market and help you land roles without even having to interview! Give it a try and let me know if any of these tips work for you!
