This Mental Health Awareness Month, It's Time to Take a Pledge with Recruit CRM

We don't want to beat around the bush. Yes, recruitment is stressful!

Just like it gets overwhelming at times for you while hiring, your candidates can feel the same too.

In spite of mental health being sincerely advocated in the workplace, more than often we tend to overlook it as mere exhaustion.

While we still need to work on addressing the stigma, the real work begins at a personal level.

While a lot of recruitment agencies globally are embracing a four-day workweek and enhanced counseling for their recruiters, it's high time you start giving back the same to your candidates.

Last year alone, 1 in every 4 employees quit their jobs over mental health reasons. With the attrition rate being this high, you can't take this anymore with a pinch of salt.

We have put together an article on how to support and manage mental health as a recruiter.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, it's all about taking a pledge with us :)

How Can You Take Care of Yourself Amidst Hiring for Clients?

There's no foolproof method that can help you take charge of this.

1 in every 5 Americans face mental illnesses in a year. It's high time you spread awareness about the importance of mental health (just as much as physical health).

Here are a few tips you could take into account —

• Check in with yourself and your co-workers. Often, you don't end up evaluating how you are feeling presently. The best way to do this would be journalling or via a mood tracker app on your phone.
• Socialize with fellow recruiters. Go out for a quick lunch or plan an outing.
• Time off from week is crucial. If you're feeling overwhelmed at work, take a break.
• Organize your day and your workspace properly. Sometimes a major reason why you are feeling lost could be because your desk is cluttered. Keeping your workspace clean could help alleviate stress.
• Don't be ashamed in asking for help. You'll notice an increase in job satisfaction and your productivity levels if you take the help that's needed at the right time.
