I had a call with someone this week who is unemployed. It was possible that he was suitable for a role that I’m working on. Unfortunately, this potential candidate talked nonstop. I tell candidates that they have two ears and one mouth, and they should use them in that ratio. Also, I tend to mention that we only learn when we’re listening. In addition to being verbose, this potential candidate overshared. At the end of our call, I knew too much about him. In contrast, I don’t think he knew much of anything about me, the recruiting I do, my client, the specifics about the opening and my industry knowledge.
