There are plenty of reasons why employees quit their jobs such as spouses leaving the country, needing to stay at home with their children or even their visa not getting renewed.

Phone interviews may seem easier and less intimidating than face to face interviews and in some ways, they are. After all, you and the interviewer can’t see each other which means you can be less self-conscious about your outfit selection or a random facial tic. You may think it’s a good thing that the interviewer can’t see your body language over the phone, because that way your mannerisms won’t reveal your nervousness.

Recruiting is merging with marketing. Gone are the days that clients are willing to pay you to screen candidates that they can get from job boards. It used to be that recruiters were merely CV shufflers, matching a resume to a job.
