OK, this has been been bugging me for a week. I’m not sure if I’m too grumpy or if I’m being un-reasonable. My recruitment business is currently recruiting for trainee and experienced recruiters. For us and also for other recruitment firms that get us to recruit for them. It’s what we do; and have done for nearly 25 years. Just after Xmas a guy applied to me directly for a job with us and managed to spell RECRUITMENT correctly only twice and managed to spell it incorrectly FIVE times including RECRERUITERMENT & RECRUITMUNT!! I was pretty ‘miffed’! Why on earth he could not use spell check, I have no idea. When I emailed him to explain why I could not take him seriously, he got upset with me. He said he’d paid for someone to write his CV for him…amazing! Was I too harsh? I want to hire people who can spell but also who have common sense….
What do you all think?
