“Why do these idiots keep telling me about jobs I have no interest in? I have told them what I want, why won’t they listen? Why won’t tax recruiters listen?”
Does that sound familiar?
You can spend anything up to an hour explaining to a tax recruiter what is essential to you. Why you are looking to move, your frustrations, your needs, and what’s important to you in your next role.
That’s up to 60 mins of your life you will not get back and countless hours in wasted interviews.
The recruiter should be listening, but really what they’re doing is waiting long enough to “sell you” on their open positions.
So why don't tax recruiters listen?
Their goals do not necessarily align with yours.
A lot of recruiters aren’t measured by how happy their clients are.
A lot of recruiters have targets to meet.
Targets that have nothing to do with customer satisfaction or providing a high level of service.
They have numbers to hit and jobs to fill.
For many of them, their work is more like an assembly line rather than a catered service to you.
Some recruiters want you in and out of the door as soon as possible, so they have another tick in their record.
It’s not necessarily their fault, either.
They have managers who are under pressure to perform and who pass on that pressure to their consultants.
They have the time to spend on making you feel welcome, but when that’s done, you’re treated as just another name on the list.
With a lot of agents who work this way, you’re not the customer; you’re the product.
If that sounds dumb, that's because it is.
Why do most of my industry still work this way despite evidence that suggests it leads to high levels of dissatisfaction?
Good question.
Why do employers make you stay late when you don't need to be in that office.
Why did Coco-Cola change its best-selling recipe?
I have no idea.
