Considering adding a photo to your resume? Think twice! While it might seem like a great way to stand out, in the U.S., including a photo can lead to unintended bias and may even harm your chances. Employers often avoid resumes with photos to ensure a fair, skills-focused hiring process. Save the photo for LinkedIn—let your resume spotlight your accomplishments and expertise. #resumetips #interviewbias #jobsearch

Ghosting!!!!! Working in recruitment I've seen this trend increase over the years as I am sure have many of my clients. Reading this article it unfortunately doesn't look like that trend is going anywhere anytime soon. Thankfully our screening and interview process means that our clients are extremely rarely affected by candidates not attending interview we have arranged. When did everyone stop behaving like adults? #GhostingTrend #HiringChallenges #EmployerCommunication

Anyone working in recruitment or talent acquisition will be fully aware of ghosting, with a growing number of jobseekers admitting they’ve ghosted a potential employer in the past year. Latest research from Indeed suggests that a staggering 86% of UK jobseekers have without-notice not shown up for a job interview. #ghosting #interviews #recruitment #talentacquisition #jobhiring #jobseekers #noshows

"So how can we get out of this impasse, where companies are #ghosting their potential #workers only for them to do the same in turn? Davis?suggests companies should outline their #interview process from the start, so #candidates know what they are getting into, rather than being surprised by seemingly endless rounds of Zooms and time-consuming tasks. She also reckons there’s a need for more transparency, “in terms of what the interview will cover, and who’s going to be interviewing you. Even doing simple things like providing the interview questions in advance can help ease anxiety [...] and keeping candidates in the loop as well. If you say they’ll hear back in a week and it’s been three weeks then you’re not really in a position to moan when you,?the recruiter, are?ghosted.” #Employers , take note?–?and try treating your potential colleagues like you’d actually want to be treated yourself."

Interesting article especially as all Recruiters will know this too well. No matter how much preparation of meeting with the individual, sending all the relevant information of the interview and discussions on the role, this is all still too common. Why do you think this still happens? #interviewing

This is frightening.?A survey of 1,000 hiring managers across the US by Resume Builder finds that one in three - that's 30% - of hiring managers ADMIT to asking illegal questions during job interviews.?Questions about age, identity, disability, family status, and prior salary are all protected by law but are still being asked. Some fun stats: - 60% regularly ask about a candidate's identity - 56% inquire about family, pregnancy or marital status - 62% said they ask about the candidate's prior salary - 72% said the applicant's answer is either very likely or somewhat likely to affect if they get hired - 18% of male hiring managers frequently ask illegal questions, compared to only 3% of female hiring managers #interviews #recruiting #bias #ageism #diversity https://lnkd.in/eFCvehTB

Although the survey is limited to one country and Generation Z is emphasized in the headline, this article goes beyond just young adults. Worth a read. #work #ghosting #interviews #management #humanresources #humancapital #jobs #employees #genz #generations

Age discrimination in the job search is real, and as you can imagine, I get clients concerned about it all the time. Recently, I had a client in their 60s who was deeply worried about being overlooked because of the age thing. This client is an accomplished professional with decades of experience, but of course, the primary main concern was that the resume might lead employers to unfairly dismiss them before even getting a chance to showcase their skills in an interview. To help lower the exposure to age discrimination, we focused on strategies to minimize any potential "speed bumps" that could get them kicked to the curb during the resume review phase. So first, we modernized the format, ensuring a more sleek and up-to-date look, with contemporary fonts and a clean, streamlined design. (But not too complex to trip up applicant tracking systems) This subtle change alone can make a huge difference in perception, as an outdated layout can immediately suggest outdated skills or knowledge. Secondly, we reduced the emphasis on experience from the distant past by eliminating roles held over 15 years ago and spotlighting skills and achievements relevant to today’s market. Highlighting technology proficiencies, recent certifications, and industry-relevant skills positioned them as current and forward-thinking, rather than someone resting on the laurels of past decades. Age shouldn’t be a hurdle in your job search, but if you’re not careful, it can be. That resume needs to present your experience without raising red flags that make employers question your fit for today’s market. So keep it fresh, keep it focused, and keep it forward-looking. #AgeDiscrimination #JobSearchTips #ResumeWriting #CareerAdvice ?? Want more content such as this?
