In the fast-moving world of today, it’s surprising to see how certain people make important decisions based on their inane beliefs.<\/h2>\n

Hiring people on a company’s behalf is not a small responsibility. Nobody wants to hire employees that don’t match the company’s requirements. There’s always a criterion that includes a person’s level of qualification, skill, and of course experience. But, what the following manager did was out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Business Insider’s executive managing editor Jessica Liebman gave everybody a bit of small advice for filtering out the best candidates for recruitment.  She says:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been hiring people for 10 years, and I still swear by a simple rule: If someone doesn\u2019t send a thank you email, don\u2019t hire them.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey, I wrote something! \u2026 I\u2019ve been hiring people for 10 years, and I still swear by a simple rule: If someone doesn\u2019t send a thank you email, don\u2019t hire them. https:\/\/t.co\/NWXB1ozNgr<\/a><\/p>\n

— Jessica Liebman (@jessicaliebman) April 5, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liebman further explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cHow someone presents in interviews might not translate to effectiveness in the role. While sending a thank-you note doesn\u2019t necessarily guarantee the person will be a good hire, it gives you the tiniest bit more data: The candidate is eager, organized, and well mannered enough to send the note. [\u2026]<\/em><\/p>\n

It shows resourcefulness, too, because the candidate often has to hunt down an email address the interviewer never gave them. At Insider Inc., we look to hire \u201cgood eggs.\u201d The thank-you email is a mark for the good-egg column.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSeven years later, I stand by it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, guess what? Twitterati did not sit quietly.<\/p>\n

This is what Twitter had to say.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Exactly.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, this makes more sense.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Couldn’t have said it better.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly, this is a thing these days.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, they all can’t be wrong.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe it’s time to make the amends.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, that’s good advice.<\/h2>\n
