  Introduction: You’ve been there. The Zoom call is going well — the candidate is nodding, smiling, hitting all the right buzzwords — and yet… something feels off. Your recruiter spidey senses tingle. Is it the awkward pause after “Tell me about yourself”? The suspiciously perfect resume? Or the way they say “I love teamwork” with all the enthusiasm of a Monday morning alarm? Welcome to the world of recruiter intuition — that magical sixth sense that develops somewhere between your 100th interview and your third ghosting of the week. Let’s dive into the quirky, uncanny ways recruiters spot red flags… no polygraph needed. 🕵️‍♂️ 1. The Resume That’s Too Perfect You get the resume.

The Ones Who Came Back Stronger Rejected once, reskilled, and now they’re being chased by Google. You wo...

Ever found a candidate and thought, “This is it! The one!” ? The resume checked all boxes, the interview went well, the communication was crisp, and even your gut feeling whispered "closure confirmed." But then… Rejection. And suddenly, you're left staring at your screen like it's responsible for this heartbreak. So, why does this happen? Why do “perfect fits” sometimes not make the cut? Let’s decode this mystery with some real recruiter-life reasons (read: heartbreakers). 1. Attitude Issues – The Silent Killer You know that vibe when someone walks in like they own the place? Confidence is good. But overconfidence with a sprinkle of arrogance? Not so much. Sometimes, it's not the skill but the "I already know everything" energy that sends hiring panels running. 2.
