Is the recruiter worth your time? Take this test to find out...
...I’ve decided it’s time to put together initial guidelines for a headhunter aptitude test. This is not meant to cover anything beyond the first five minutes of your experience with a headhunter. For those of you playing at home, start with ten points, and go through the following modifiers. These are all based on real situations thus far.
Take one point away if the headhunter makes a shuffling sound but says nothing for a few moments when you greet them with your name.
Take another point if the headhunter says “Oh, really? Oh, right, I have yours here, just a sec.”
Take one point away if the headhunter calls more than 15 minutes after a scheduled time, another if more than 30, another if more than 60, and two more if they don’t call until a later date or never call back.
Take a point if it is obvious that the headhunter is reading your resume for the first time while they talk to you.
Next time you have a phone interview, try this test out for giggle's sake.
