Let’s get one thing straight: recruiters aren’t hired to heal your burnout or fix your career crisis. Their job is to match skills with roles—not provide therapy. Here’s what that means for you.
1. What Recruiters Actually Do (and Don’t)
Recruiters are connectors, not counselors. They:
• Source, screen, and match candidates to job openings
• Coordinate interviews and handle feedback
• Communicate client expectations—not rewrite your resume life story
What they don’t do:
• Provide emotional support or career therapy
• Mediate your self-esteem issues
• Rewrite your job history to “feel better”
2. Set Realistic Expectations
Candidates often expect too much. Keep in mind:
• Recruiters prioritize roles they’re hired to fill—not every applicant
• They’re not obligated to call you back if there’s no fit
• It’s not personal—it’s business
Pro Tip: Respect their time and they’ll respect yours.
3. Therapy Is for Therapists—Not Hiring Calls
Here’s what makes recruiters squirm:
• Oversharing personal or mental health issues
• Emotional venting about your last job
• Needing constant reassurance
Instead, focus on your skills, experience, and goals. Keep it professional.
4. How to Maximize Your Time with a Recruiter
Want results? Be strategic:
• Show up prepared and concise
• Ask about the role, not their feelings
• Follow up professionally—no guilt trips
• Keep your resume results-focused, not therapy-session inspired
5. Respect the Boundaries—Build Better Relationships
Recruiters appreciate candidates who:
• Are self-aware and direct
• Respect business boundaries
• Keep communication efficient
Result? More callbacks, better referrals, and a faster path to employment
