A little respect
To paraphrase Aretha Franklin (courtesy of Otis Redding), all job seekers and employers are asking for is a little respect.
Problem is, they don’t seem to give it to each other.
• Point: the number one complaint from most job seekers is that they don’t get a response – any response – from employers when they apply for a job.
Talroo brings clarity to improve new-hire retention
You filled the seat, but not with someone who plans to stay. The candidate made it through your entire interview process while quietly interviewing with other companies that pay 25% more.

So, a modest proposal to both sides: next time around, go the extra mile. Show a bit of extra respect. Let’s see if we can elevate this dance and make everyone’s life a bit easier.
