Recruiting Trends -- My last article established that most recruiters provide 30 minutes of interview preparation to their candidates. Recruiter interview preparation typically consists of filling the candidate in on position details, company culture, and interviewer(s) background/personality. Recruiters do not have the time to, nor do they see a benefit in, providing more general interviewing skills and strategies. Imagine if 45 to 60 minutes of interview preparation increased the send-out-to-hire ratio by 3 to 5 percent. The ROI on that time would be very high.
