3 Lies Recruiters Will Tell You During & After The Interview

So many organizations now use recruiters to get top talent to join their team.

Recruiters have tones of applications since they try to find employees for various organizations all at once.

Since they need to meet the demands of various clients in a given span of time, they always do anything within their means to fill the Job vacancies in Kenya from them. This is why you find some of them lie to the job seekers even after the interview.

So, what lies do the recruiters tell you as a job seeker?

3 Lies Recruiters Will Tell You During and After A Job Interview

The Job opportunity is the best there is

With the end goal being to close the position and move on to the next, some recruiters will lie to you that the job opportunity is the best and that you should take it.

They will tell you that the job opportunity might not be as exciting but the company you are going to work for is a great one. The recruiter will even stretch the lie to say that he or she has never heard anything bad about the employer only for you to take the job and later realized you were sold a false reality.

What they are offering you is generous, take it.

Many times, after the interview, employers will offer you a salary or compensation you will not satisfied with. This might be as a result of being offered something contrary to what the recruiter told you before you met their client for an interview.

Why? At times the compensation written on the job description is meant to attract applicants but once they get them, they tell them the opposite.

You might decide to seek advice from the recruiter once you are offered the salary but since the recruiter will try and convince you to take it with a lie. You will be told that you are lucky they considered because you were a stretch candidate, that there were other better candidates for the job, therefore, you should take whatever they offer.

You might be told that the employer liked you but thought you were too expensive and that you should lower your salary expectation to get the job.

The client wants you to perform some work as part of the Interview process.

This is a lie some fowl recruiters will tell you when you looking for a job. I have seen a case where someone did a project for a company, one month in hopes to get hired. They told her she needed to handle a project as part of the interview process. She was told that by doing the project, they would be able to gauge and see if she could handle the job. After the project, they sent her their regrets telling her that if any other position comes up in the future, they would consider her.

Remember,

Your end goal is not to just get any job but a quality one you deserve that will steer your career growth. Do not let any recruiter lie to you thus making you settle for less. Career coaching is a great way for you to learn how to handle all the obstacles in your career journey, these lies included.
