Hiring Observations: From newbie recruiter

Women who have rejoined rat race after pregnancy

I have ultimate respect for you. Pregnancy is not easy. Post paturm is not easy. Working a job while having a new born baby is definitely not easy.

But if your answers are about this, rather than the skills I am hiring for, how do I make a judgement if you can do the job?

I think bit of it stems from them feeling left out, guilty of taking a break. Why can't they view it as a challenging phase of life and focus on their individuality.

Easier said than done, but sincerely HR who doesn't know if I can hire you

Well newbie recruiter. Did you give them this feedback on call? Also some orgs essentially do have return to work programs so that people are at ease.

  1. Handling 500 applications a day, you can't provide individual feedbacks
  2. Companies which are hiring for return to work, also look for skills.
