Why are recruiters looking for immediate joiners?
Why are recruiters looking for immediate joiners? I seriously, respectfully, want to understand why is this rule? Even the company you are hiring for has 60 days notice period or even more. In todays market nobody wants to resign without an offer. People having 60 days( or 90 days) notice period, what should they actually do.
Precisely. Also if they meet someone who is an immediate joiner, first question they ask if why did you leave your job without another offer! I mean do you have to pay my bills or rent? Your role is just to match if the candidate fits the job profile and forward their resume. Never understood this outdated thinking that if someone is not working currently, there is something wrong with them. Maybe they have well off parents?? But no everyone is assumed living paycheck to paycheck
"Since we are cheapstakes we want to find the one who are without a job right now and are desperately in need of a job and are most likely to accept our lowballed offer which ultimately allows us to lick our boss's ass and show how we saved them x%."

Immediate joiners insisted coz they fear candidates would shop around for offers. Also this happens when there is an urgent project requirement from client and budget likely to lapse later.
because if you have time, you will go for "offer shopping"
Urgent roles. Someone left or workload increased, need someone ASAP
Seldom I have seen they plan in advance where they can accommodate notice periods.
