- Why we are committed to positive candidate experiences
- Your candidate experience is important to us!
Being a recruiter is an awesome job!
For candidates, recruiting is more than problem-solving, it impacts a person’s life. A job impacts a person in 4 ways.
- How they feel about themselves and their lives – mental and emotional health
- How they interact with family members and friends
- Their ability to realize personal ambitions – dreams
- Their ability to help the people they care about to realize their dreams
We help candidates make desired changes in their lives and don’t charge for the service.
When thought of this way, a recruiter can impact a person’s life as much or more than a counselor or a medical professional.
For Work/Life Recruiting, recruitment is more than running an advertisement and sorting respondents. Recruitment is creating expectations that will be realized by both employers and job seekers. Our commitment to candid and transparent communication results in better experiences and outcomes for both employers and job seekers.
Truth, transparency, and courtesy aren’t “add-ons,” they are the core of our service.
Taking care of candidates is good business!
Candidates that are well placed, are happier, typically leading to better performance, which makes hiring managers happy. Happy hiring managers are more likely to engage us again.
Taking care of candidates is good business!
The Story of Work/Life Recruiting
It started with capital equipment sales
In his last corporate sales position, the recruiter had overstated the commission program by 100%. Kyle didn’t discover this until the evening of his first day on the job. That made for a difficult conversation with the hiring manager the next day.
Kyle never forgot his treatment as a candidate. Work/Life Recruiting is committed to giving candidates courteous service, accurate information, and closure.
The Transition
Kyle contemplated the transition from an outside sales rep to recruiter for 8 months. Who gives up a corporate sales position, with a salary, commissions, benefits, and company car? Who takes this level a risk with a wife, 2 kids, and a mortgage? He did.
Kyle committed to treating candidates the way he wished he had been treated. Returning phone calls, returning emails & texts, and providing closure. Common courtesy! Kyle was committed to delivering quality candidate experiences before the phrase candidate experience became common.
The Treatment
Kyle never forgot his treatment as a candidate. He is committed to giving candidates courteous service and closure.
Candidates are told: You may not like the message, but you will have closure. And “Feedback will be shared promptly.”
Taking care of candidates is good business!
Having worked through the dot.com bubble burst, 9/11, 3 recessions, and COVID has required constant adjustment to changing expectations by both candidates and hiring managers. Throughout that time, into today. Kyle has maintained:

The search continues for innovative ways to bring more value to candidates.
