“Če vam ne pošljejo zahvale po razgovoru, jih ne zaposlite.”
To je pravilo, ki se ga drži izvršna direktorica Insider Inc.-a Jessica Liebman, ko gre za zaposlovanje potencialnih novih delavcev – kar je povzročilo burno razpravo na družbenih omrežjih.
Po razgovoru s stotinami potencialnimi delavci je napisala članek, v katerem trdi, če intervjuvana oseba po razgovoru ne pošlje elektronske pošte naredi “napako številka ena”.
Hey, I wrote something! … I’ve been hiring people for 10 years, and I still swear by a simple rule: If someone doesn’t send a thank you email, don’t hire them. https://t.co/NWXB1ozNgr

“Resnica je, da lahko zaposlitveni proces razkrije le določene stvari,” je napisala za Business Insider. “Vaša odločitev pogosto temelji na majhnem vzorcu podatkov, ki ste jih zbrali v nekaj urah pogovora z njimi, včasih celo ni osebno.”
This is an arbitrary bit of gatekeeping that is both culture- and generation-specific. In doing this you’re also gong to skew results to people who act and think like you, thereby decreasing intellectual diversity on the team. A thank you is classy, but not a disqualifier.

Pravi, da bi morali vodje kadrovanja pri zaposlovanju vedno “pričakovati e-pošto hvaležnosti” in dodaja, da “nikoli ne bi smeli ponuditi zaposlitve nekomu, ki tega ni poslal.”
You know taking a day off work, going someplace unfamiliar, then participating in ~8 hours of technical and personal interviews is exhausting, right?

Pravi, da za to obstajata dva razloga. “Pošiljanje sporočila zahvale ne zagotavlja nujno, da bo ta oseba dober delavec, ampak vam bo dala malo več informacij: kandidat je hiter, organiziran in ima očitno dobre manire.”
These employees will be creating value for your company, it’s you that should be thankful. No wonder people leave after few months, sounds like a toxic work environment where only the yay sayers are accepted

“Prav tako pokaže iznajdljivost, ker mora kandidat pogosto najti e-poštni naslov, ki ga med pogovorom ni prejel.”
Have you been sending everyone who applies thank you notes too? Signalling goes both ways.

Članek je sprožil različne reakcije, potem ko ga je Liebmanova delila na Twitterju. Medtem ko nekateri menijo, da je to pravi način, so se drugi spraševali, ali je sama intervjuvancem poslala zahvale, ker so si vzeli čas za pogovor z njo.
We’re supplicants, grateful for the opportunity to even speak to them for the chance to be massively underpaid.

Pred sedmimi leti je Liebmanova napisala podoben članek, v katerem je pojasnila svoja pričakovanja glede sporočila zahvalnosti. Povedala je, da se ji morajo intervjuvanci zahvaliti, ker si je vzela čas, da se pogovori z njimi, da morajo ponoviti, da si res želijo to zaposlitev ter dodati kratko opombo o tem, zakaj bi bili popolni kandidati.
My simple rule: don’t work anywhere that thinks having access to your talent is a bigger win for you than it is for them.
Companies that compete on talent recruit to persuade. Companies that view hiring as merely finding workers worry about thank you emails.

Rekla je, da če ne dobi podobne pošte, “bo domnevala, da ne želite zaposlitve” in “da ste neorganizirani”, ter dodala, da je “veliko bolj verjetno, da bo pozabila na vas.”
It’s professional courtesy to send a thank you email. Plenty of people with talent out there who still have manners.

I agree with her on this. The level of effort that goes into screening and hiring a canidate is STRESSFUL, and to not even send a thank-you note or letter shows to me 1. You’re inconsiderate, and 2. Your business etiquette is lacking. But most of all you’re inconsiderate.
