Make sure your recruiter has your personal email address…..

I just had the saddest thing happen.  I had this great job:  Incredible opportunity, professional growth, sunny location, nice money, stock options.  I knew the “perfect candidate”.  I had not talked with him in the last year or so….I immediately called him.  Number disconnected.  Then I emailed.  Email no longer valid.  Called his company, they would not give me forwarding information.  I got distracted working with other candidates, filled the position and thought no more of it.  Fast forward 3 months.  The “perfect candidate” calls me – his company that he has been with for less than 2 years is going through layoffs, do you have an appropriate territory?  Well, I did…. But I DID NOT HAVE YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS AND I COULD NOT CONTACT YOU!!!  Don’t let this happen to you.  Send me your personal email today!!
