Why do some headhunters and HR like to add job seekers' WeChat?

Frankly speaking, there is some difference between being a headhunter and HR who likes to add job seekers to WeChat. It happens that both professions have worked in the industry. Let me talk about my personal views on this issue. In fact, many job seekers have different attitudes towards these two kinds of people plus WeChat.

The general reasons are listed as follows, not one by one. The most common reasons and purposes cannot be as follows:

Headhunting and HR plus WeChat have different purposes, and many job seekers have different attitudes. As the name implies, there are many positions recommended by headhunters, such as RPO, and there will also be some mid-to high-end positions, while enterprise HR will recruit more positions during the recruitment process. Therefore, the purpose of adding WeChat to candidates is different.

1, headhunters and HR plus job seekers will have different motives and purposes.

Generally speaking, when a headhunter recommends a position, regardless of whether the position is suitable or not, the headhunter will propose to establish contact with the candidate, maintain a long-term relationship and expand his personal network. Why? Because when they communicate by phone, it is possible that you are not his direct target, but an indirect target clue.

How do you say this? Give a small example, it's easy to understand. For example, headhunters want to recruit the position of sales director of company A, and you are only a purchasing manager, so headhunters may recommend the position of purchasing director to gain your interest and exchange micro signals with you. In fact, they want to find out the relevant information of the sales person in charge of the company, such as the name or phone number, through your clue as the target company.

The source of HR recruitment is mainly through the recruitment website, from which the personal information of job seekers can be intuitively obtained. Therefore, when they actively add WeChat, it is very likely that you are the target he is interested in, hoping to establish a deeper contact through WeChat, understand your personality characteristics through the dynamics of friends circle, or communicate with you to recommend positions very conveniently and quickly, and persuade you to accept the job invitation and complete their interview rate KPI.

2. Job seekers' acceptance of the invitation to launch WeChat will be different.

In all fairness, if the headhunter and HR of an unknown company add the WeChat of job seekers, many people are more willing to add the headhunter's WeChat as soon as possible.

Why? Because headhunters can recommend more companies and positions, and HR companies are not interested, it is basically difficult to maintain communication and establish contact desire and interest.

I interviewed many friends around me, and now their acceptance of headhunting is much stronger than in previous years. As early as the financial crisis broke out in 2008, many people had no idea about headhunting, and even thought they were "pig heads". When communicating by telephone, they should explain what they are doing, and it is free to recommend positions for candidates to dispel their doubts.

At present, the pressure of HR recruitment in small companies is too great, and the job seekers who look after them are not suitable for each other because there is nothing to recommend them; However, the general job seekers, enterprises do not despise and dislike each other's lack of resources and can not bring value.

Many job seekers have suffered from the company's losses and followed the HR routine, so they will have a sense of rejection of the HR of small enterprises from the heart, but it is not excluded that some HR sisters with sweet voices and sweet looks are still very popular with job seekers and will accept the initiative to add WeChat.

The HR of large companies and well-known enterprises added WeChat. It is estimated that many job seekers will not send out this feeling of passively seeking to add when they receive an invitation from WeChat.

To sum up, adding WeChat has become a common social way. Accept it with an open mind, WeChat also has a function. Friends can be added in two states: only for chatting, chatting and opening up a circle of friends. The choice is up to you.

I used a landline 30 years ago, a mobile phone 20 years ago, QQ 10 years ago, and now I use WeChat. Times are changing, and so are our social ways. Today's WeChat is the mobile phone of 20 years ago. Wechat for recruiting headhunters and job seekers is just like saving the other party's phone number before. This is a social choice.

There are still many advantages for headhunters and HR to use WeChat to add job seekers:

First, communication is convenient. In WeChat, you can send text and voice, and you can also have video and voice calls. You can choose any communication method according to your actual situation. Moreover, there is information left in the communication, which is convenient for later information search.

Second, send WeChat to save money. Headhunters and HR inform candidates to come for an interview, which involves the content of written information. For headhunters and HR, there are many people to be notified every month, but now mobile phone operators still charge 0. 1 yuan more than 10 years ago, and all kinds of fees are falling. Except for this one, it is still a high cost for headhunters and HR who often send messages and use WeChat.

Third, you can set up WeChat to avoid being too personal. Many people think that WeChat is a very private space, and they don't want to see each other's circle of friends with people who have only met once, but in fact, the setting of WeChat is very convenient, which can block each other's circle of friends and prevent them from seeing your circle of friends. In this case, WeChat is just a mobile phone number, and the personalization you want can be completely preserved. In this case, it doesn't matter whether you add WeChat or not, it's just a contact information.

In summary, everyone is willing to use WeChat to exchange work, and naturally they are willing to add people.

I work as HR in the company, and I also like to add job seekers' WeChat for many reasons. Let me elaborate on a few.

1. Add job seekers' WeChat, which is conducive to full communication.

2. Adding job seekers' WeChat helps to save company phone bills.

3. Adding job seekers' WeChat is conducive to the initial test, especially to meet the needs of video interviews.

4. Adding job seekers' WeChat is conducive to the overall work of HR and efficient work. At the same time, you can communicate at any time, which is beneficial for HR to arrange according to the work intensity.

5. Adding job seekers' WeChat will help HR to establish a talent pool. Even if you don't recruit now, you can always contact me if you have a suitable position in the future.

6. Adding job seekers' WeChat helps HR to establish a trust relationship with job seekers, because everyone knows that WeChat is an acquaintance relationship. With the addition of WeChat, the longer the two sides talk and get to know each other better, they can establish a trust relationship, and job seekers can also help recommend some talents.

Generally speaking, WeChat is a very convenient and practical tool, which can be used in work, so it is very popular with headhunters and HR. They naturally like to add job seekers' WeChat when recruiting.

I think the biggest reason to see the world by moonlight is to facilitate contact and get more personal information from your circle of friends, so as to make more accurate judgments.

First, WeChat is more convenient for communication.

Whether it is headhunting or HR, it may be inconvenient to call the candidate. Time may be inconvenient, for example, you may be in a meeting during office hours; It may be an inconvenient location, such as an open workplace. When talking on the phone, people in the workplace can't help but listen. It is also possible to miss the connection, such as the mute of the mobile phone, the absence of the mobile phone and so on.

Wechat is different. You can have a meeting and chat with headhunters. Who knows? Who saw it? It's very convenient, and you don't have to worry about the walls having ears anymore.

If this cooperation is unsuccessful, it doesn't matter, WeChat has it, and it will be more convenient to have the opportunity to communicate in the future.

Second, collect more personal information in order to make an accurate judgment.

Wechat friends circle represents your personal presentation from more angles, and also allows visitors to understand you more stereoscopically, so many times headhunters and HR will look at some of the daily life and opinions of the applicant through his friends circle, thus making more accurate talent judgment.

1. Know your life.

Through the circle of friends, you can learn about your life, such as how your family life is, what hobbies you have in your spare time, what grades of shopping malls you often go to, what styles of restaurants you often go to, and so on. These all represent your personal or your family's past income level to some extent.

2. Know your personality characteristics

Judging from your various remarks in your circle of friends, you can see some clues whether you are open, sunny, positive, closed, dark, passive and negative.

Verify some information

This information may be the professional experience described in your resume, or what you said in the interview communication. If what you say is true, there is nothing to worry about, but if what you say is a lie or a lie, you may be inadvertently exposed by your circle of friends.

Summary of Views As an important communication tool, WeChat is no longer private and more open to various contacts.

It may be your boss, your clients, your friends, or your family. ...

It may be someone you like, someone you don't like, or even someone you hate. ...

It may be someone you are familiar with, someone you just met, or it may just be the sales of a product. ...

How can such a complex audience and such a huge group not maintain their image in the circle of friends?

What to send, what not to send, still have to consider.

Don't be too casual, not too deliberate!

The above is my personal opinion, I hope it will help you.

Miss J's point of view: As an instant messaging tool, WeChat is not only widely used in social activities, but also provides a lot of convenience for work. As an HR employee with many years of experience, Miss J also likes the WeChat of those who add positions. In fact, the information obtained through WeChat is sometimes more than the interview.

1. In the step of verifying information, gap has added the same paragraph of WeChat. Which of the following two job seekers is more likely to be favored by HR?

Applicant A: Hello, I'd like to ask about the salary and vacation time of this position.

Candidate B: Hello, I'm XXX who just contacted. I'm applying for the position of human resources specialist. I am interested in this position and want to know the working hours first.

Obviously, I will definitely choose candidate B. HR is exposed to a lot of resumes every day. As a job seeker, after you added HR WeChat, you just threw out your own questions and didn't introduce yourself. HR knows who you are, and even if she wants to answer your question, she doesn't know which position you are asking for.

Whether a person does things thoroughly can be seen from the tiny action of adding WeChat. So HR or headhunters add you to WeChat, they don't just want to chat with you.

2. As an instant messaging tool, WeChat facilitates communication. At present, more and more people use WeChat as the first communication tool. Unconsciously, we rarely make phone calls and send text messages, and all of them communicate through WeChat. As an instant messaging tool, WeChat has the following advantages:

Therefore, for the convenience of follow-up communication, HR or headhunters generally add the WeChat of job seekers.

3. After adding WeChat, you can once again understand the personality and experience of job seekers by looking at their circle of friends. Wechat's circle of friends can best reflect a person's life. You will find that low-key people generally don't like to send friends, while narcissists (who generally think they are beautiful women) like to send selfies in friends. People who love to travel, the circle of friends is full of scenery, and people who love to learn often dry stationery in the circle of friends.

The circle of friends can not only show a person's life status, but also reflect a person's work experience. Looking through the circle of friends, job seekers can also verify the authenticity of their resumes from the side if they often publish previous work-related content.

4. WeChat friends circle is a person's private domain traffic. HR and headhunters can increase their WeChat friends through work, which is more conducive to their own sideline business. A former colleague of mine started his own jewelry business after resigning, and took photos and wrote a copy himself, which was not bad. Looking at her list, I found that most of her clients are colleagues and also her clients.

Wechat friends circle is a very important silk domain traffic. HR or headhunters add you to WeChat, and some of them are also to accumulate contacts for themselves. In case you really do WeChat business or operate products through WeChat, you will have a rich private domain traffic field.

Let me talk about what headhunters do first. We all know what headhunters do, so I won't say more. What I want to talk about here is the interpersonal network of headhunters.

There are two kinds of interpersonal networks for headhunters:

HR: Generally speaking, this enterprise is relatively large in scale, because headhunting is used by large-scale enterprises. Headhunters should keep close contact with HR related to each enterprise. Once the enterprise has a demand, HR will inform the headhunter of the demand and entrust the headhunter to find a suitable candidate on his behalf.

Headhunting is a bridge to find suitable candidates according to the entrustment of enterprises. Of course, the reverse can also be done, and suitable units can be found for some senior talents.

We say that HR is easy, and almost all companies have HR, and they are all docking people. Other work is left aside for the time being. Let's talk about recruitment, such as dealing with job seekers, including inviting job seekers, receiving candidates, participating in interviews of some candidates and informing job seekers of the results.

HR can be said to be the first bridge between job seekers and the company, and HR involves a wide range of job seekers. There are high and low positions, and positions in the company, big and small in Koko Dhaka, may be involved.

Back to this question, why do headhunters and HR like to add job seekers' WeChat?

Wechat is a popular social tool now. Whether at work or in life, everyone communicates through WeChat. Therefore, WeChat represents personal contact information, and represents timely communication anytime and anywhere.

1 Why does HR like to add WeChat to job seekers?

The answer is relatively simple, that is, communication is convenient, such as making an appointment for an interview, communicating related issues, informing the interview results, and informing the entry-related matters.

2 Why do headhunters like to add job seekers' WeChat?

Wechat for headhunters and job seekers has two purposes:

The first one is the same as the purpose of enterprise HR plus job seeker WeChat, which is to facilitate communication, and to communicate with job seekers before, during and after the interview.

The second purpose is to supplement our own talent pool. As we mentioned earlier, headhunters need to have their own talent pool, which must be continuously expanded, and once there is relevant demand in the future, they can be directly and quickly extracted from the talent pool.

It can be seen that the WeChat of headhunters and job seekers actually has a dual purpose, and this behavior is not a short-term behavior. It will exist for a long time. Maybe headhunters don't need this job seeker anymore, but the fact is that this job seeker is a permanent talent resource for headhunters.

Because headhunters and HR also have assessment indicators, they have to prove that they are really working effectively.

Job seekers have a chat record on WeChat, which is a good proof.

This problem can be viewed from two aspects.

1, enterprises do have employment needs.

2. headhunters and HR should complete their own performance indicators.

Let's look at the first aspect first. Enterprises do have employment needs.

Needless to say, companies have employment needs, and headhunters and HR must of course recruit people quickly.

But recruiting people is not everyone's pleasure. The mobile phone can only see the call records, but can't see any substantive content. Sometimes there is nothing I can do if I don't answer the phone.

Under such circumstances, adding WeChat is a good channel.

In addition, there are WeChat chat records, and your character and personality are reserved. Your chat record will be presented in court if requested by the company leader.

Looking at the second aspect, headhunters and HR should complete their own performance indicators.

Do you think headhunters and HR can be free if there is no demand for employment in enterprises? Don't be naive.

Where are the performance indicators?

Specify how many indicators to complete each month to get performance. One of the indicators is how many people are recruited each month, regardless of the success rate, but depending on how many people.

At this time, the record of adding WeChat chat will come in handy.

The person didn't come, as evidenced by the chat record, it was this person who stood me up.

The man didn't come, as evidenced by the chat record. It was this man who gave up, not that I didn't have an appointment, but that I was trying.

Therefore, WeChat has advantages that the telephone does not have, which is why headhunters and HR now like to add job seekers to WeChat.

But in any case, the opportunity to get a job is rare, so cherish it, have a good chat, and seize every chat opportunity regardless of the outcome.

The first point is that WeChat can better understand all aspects of job writing personality.

Second, communication is convenient. Now WeChat accounts for a large proportion and communication is convenient.

Third, the most important thing is the whole resource. I have more than 7000 people on WeChat. Sometimes it is enough for a company to send a WeChat circle of friends.

Why do headhunters and HR like to add job seekers' WeChat? I think there are several main reasons: 1. Convenient communication; 2. keep in touch; 3. Facilitate the interview.

First, it is convenient for communication. This may be the main reason. Nowadays, people like online communication and don't like being disturbed by telephone calls. Wechat is a good communication method, which can send both text/voice and documents. At the same time, in the case of wireless network, it can save money and make people feel more intimate through WeChat communication.

From the heart of job seekers, WeChat is their own private circle. If we accept headhunters or HR representatives, we can go further. Therefore, from the emotional distance, job seekers will not feel alienated.

Second, keep in touch. Wechat is added to facilitate communication, and it may not be successful after communication. But leaving WeChat is equivalent to joining the other person's circle, and then you can contact job seekers in case there are other suitable opportunities in the future.

At the same time, if this opportunity is not suitable for this job seeker, but often the job seeker will have contacts in the industry, then headhunters or HR can also ask the job seeker to help recommend it. If you are familiar with WeChat communication, you can indirectly connect each other's contacts.

Moreover, headhunters sometimes post some job-hunting or workplace-related training in the circle of friends, or sometimes they can join the circle of an industry through headhunting (pulling WeChat group), so it is a mutually beneficial relationship for each other.

Third, it is convenient for interviews.

Teleconference, remote interview and remote training are all carried forward because of the impact of this epidemic. Wechat has the function of text and language/video calling, which provides convenience for both job seekers and recruiters.

In short, if you care more about your personal WeChat and don't want to mix with people related to work, you can set up a special group when adding headhunters /HR to WeChat, so that if some messages (friends circle/mass sending) don't want to involve people at work, you can also selectively block them.
