As a recruiter knowing how to see what people are “not saying” can help you in making a much more efficient decision, this doesn’t mean - that you will know when people are lying - but that you will know when to find yellow flags and make more inquiries about it. Just like when they say about people talking to you, and rolling their eyes to the right means they are making things up and when they roll them to the left they are remembering som...

In Sieena particularity, this process is very dynamic and challenging for both parts, because somehow the candidate has to let us know that he/she is a good prospect for the vacancy, but we also have the challenge to let the candidate know that Sieena is has a good opportunity for him. The process begins with the requisition sent by the managers about the new position. Human Capital is then in charge of posting our job openings, where we usuall...
