Recruiters vs. Hiring Managers

A quick tangent. You might be wondering why we have both recruiters and hiring managers. It’s because they each manage different parts of the hiring process. Here’s what each one does.

Recruiters:

  • Serve as your single point of contact throughout
  • Review your CV
  • Have initial discussions with you
  • Coordinate interviews with you and the hiring manager and/or panel
  • Keep tabs on you as you’re going through the process
  • May help construct your job offer

Think of recruiters as choreographers, keeping everyone dancing to the same music.

Hiring managers:

  • Create the job description
  • Validate whether you’re qualified for the role
  • Assess whether you have the best skills set for the business needs
  • Select the most qualified person for the job
  • Will typically be your supervisor

Interviews

Interviews are an opportunity for the prospects and the hiring manager to get to know each other.

Career moves are a big decision. Think of an interview as an opportunity to get to know Fidelity Investments India better as well as for us to get to know you.

After interviewed, the recruiter will provide expectations and a time frame for the next steps in the hiring process. You might also receive some feedback from the hiring team, which can be helpful whether you’re offered a role with Fidelity Investments India or not.

Selection and Offer

Here’s where the rubber meets the road. The hiring team must decide:

  • Do you have the best skill set match and experience?
  • Will you help meet the business’s needs?
  • Will you be a great fit for the firm?

Once a decision is made, the recruiter will formally discuss the offer, including details about the background verification and onboarding process.

You Decide

Now the tables are flipped if you’ve been offered the job. It’s your turn to decide. You might need to weigh some decisions on your own or with a partner or your family. Assemble a kitchen table council to talk everything over if you need to. Trust your intuition.

Let’s say you accept the job. Celebrate, and make it last. Too often we don’t savor our wins or give ourselves credit for our hard-won efforts because we’re off to the next thing. Take some time to let your success really sink in.

What If You Don’t Get an Offer?

That’s OK. Life is full of ups and downs. It’s up to you how you react to them. You could have a bad interview but how you handle it is what matters most.

You might be disappointed but try not to get discouraged. Figure out what lessons you can learn for next time. Ask the recruiter for feedback if you haven’t already gotten any.

Take some time to think about other opportunities and what you can do next. A great book to use when you feel stuck is Designing Your Life, written by two Stanford design professors who help apply design thinking to lives and careers.
