I disagree with the friendly face across the table notion. You can’t tell me the odds are in the favor of any given candidate to have the same recruiter at the job fair turn out to being the one doing their actual interview down the road.

We really need to stop these games with regard to recruiting. We’ve been playing the “keep on doing what you’re doing” game to some highly qualified candidates at job fairs over the last 5 years and barely hired while Delta, SWA, FEDEX, etc have hired massively. Now we are going to waste everyone else’s time by inviting the top applicants to another job fair vs getting to the point and inviting them for the real interview.
