6. Step 4. How to convince
If you lack convincing skills, whether you’re recruiter of agencies or corporate, you fail
to place right candidate for the role. It doesn’t matter MNC’s companies or small
reputed companies for them, they have lot of other option. Talent candidates are
open minded for career change only if they are convinced creatively.
Don’t do these
• Talking for short duration
• Interviewing candidates without introducing yourself and company profile
• Only Emailing
• Hiding salary packages (range)
• Fixed time and date for interview
• Calling them unnecessary and only talking about interview time repeatedly
• Salary hike in %
Strictly Avoid these…….
• Tell me something about yourself
• Multiple recruiters talking to single candidate on line…
• Fully professional and talking only through landline phone
• If candidates are not interested, putting off landline phone making noise.

7. Step 4. How to convince
Follow these tips
• Always have a talk through mobile number and don’t be too professional.
• Start from the beginning smoothly, don’t suddenly start asking question, candidates
may feel frustrated and they may avoid giving answers.
• Always view candidates profile and understand their job work, whether it matches your
JD before having talk.
• Understand them your company profile and the matching JD.
• Explain them the working environment, extra benefits, and career growth
• If candidates are not comfortable, call them at convenient time
