Kevin Wheeler posted over on ERE.Net that he felt it is time for a candidate’s bill of rights. Something that 2Vouch agrees with, in fact a recruiter’s manifesto is being worked on in the back room of the 2Vouch corporate headquarters. Kevin looks at five areas for the bill to cover:

• Honesty & Authenticity
• Accuracy
• Complete Information
• Process
• Status
• Confidentiality

Basically he is calling for Recruiters, and Employers to respect the candidate’s time and position through open and honest communications.

The level of frustration is growing. The longer the recession continues, the deeper this will become. Candidates are not asking for a lot — just basic guidelines and an understanding of how we make interview and hiring decisions. They are seeking some understanding of what the process and timelines are for a position and how your organization goes about its hiring. This is not a lot to ask, but I have not seen a single corporation that spells this out at any level.
