A recruiter in London has become viral after sharing a photo of his broken keyboard and claimed that he broke it up when a candidate rejected his vacancy. Ethan Moeney, a recruitment advisor, posted the photo on LinkedIn and explained what happened.
According to Moeney, the candidate was supposed to attend a second phase interview at 9.30 am, but never showed up. Half an hour later, the candidate sent Moeney to let him know that he had accepted a different vacancy instead.
Moeney, frustrated by the situation, reportedly broke his keyboard and said jokes: “I could not find the F *** key in defense,” Adding: “Who says recruiters don't care?”
The post has become viral on LinkedIn and received a series of mixed reactions from users. Many LinkedIn users shared their opinion, with some who found the incident humorous, while others criticize the extreme response of the recruiter. The debate led to discussions about professionalism and emotions in the workplace, especially with recruitment.
“Imagine that candidates have always placed them after an interview when a recruiter has placed them when candidates are applying for hours and never going back? Respect works both sides,” a user noted.
“That is life. We usually do not receive any feedback about interviews. Not about what happened or what we can improve. We just stay in a” dead zone “, another user wrote.
'Give your KPIs, bags and numbers? Naturally. But candidates must also look forward to number one. You have no loyalty. If the customer does not like the CV, or if an informal chat or interview goes badly, the candidate is ignored and is confronted with the disappointment of that recruiter. , “A third user commented.
