Recruitment is a daily grind. And every day brings something new. One minute, you’re a star. Next, you’re tearing your hair out. You’ve seen the perfect candidate vanish and felt the thrill of a great hire.
We’re diving into the real stuff—the moments that make you laugh, cry and everything in between. We’ve put together some GIFs to capture those highs and lows, bringing a touch of humor to the daily chaos that is the life of a recruiter.
Here’s to the recruiters who work tirelessly to find the perfect fit for every role. Cheers!
When the internet drops during a virtual interview.
Diving deep into the talent pool like…
When the perfect candidate ghosts you after the interview.
After you’ve been faking it for so long you don’t realize you’ve made it.
When the CEO says remote work is just a fad.
That feeling when you and the candidate just vibe.
When the last candidate logs on after a full day of interviews.
Realizing you accidentally hit “reply all” on a sensitive email about a candidate.
Going from, “This is the one,” to “What have I done,” in a single interview.
When your work bestie asks if you have any fun Friday night plans.
The candidate that just tells you what they think you want to hear.
When the candidate is a minute late to the Zoom interview.
Treating yo’ self after sourcing that top candidate.
When the hiring process resets for the third time this month.
Hearing a salary expectation that is way beyond the posted range.
When the candidate you almost passed on ends up being a star performer.
You’ve just discovered the unicorn candidate after reviewing hundreds of resumes.
When the boss catches you scrolling through memes instead of sourcing candidates.
Happy National Recruiter’s Day!
