It is human nature to work harder for candidates you like and not to wish to put in the extra effort required for the ones you don’t.
It is quite often true that the ones you like you tend to think are better than they are as candidates, also the polar opposite is also true, but more often than not the awkward candidates are of a higher value.
It is worth asking the less pleasant ones if they have had a bad experience before, it can sometimes be a simple as that, they have very low expectations for you or they might not notice that much their attitude until you point it out.
Simply you won’t click or get on with some people, this is irrelevant and you need to work harder, that is all.
It is far often the case that placing a pleasant candidate will do little for you, but a hard one can open a lot of doors.
Two points need to be remembered, first make sure you are objective, this is essential within the whole recruitment process, everybody else is emotionally involved so you can not afford to be, being objective will protect you and progress your game.
Secondly evaluate every candidate, are they a good candidate for you to work with as well as sell, unless it’s two for two on that point, get ride of them.
Look after yourself, be objective and always ask why!
