Having worked with jobseekers in the accountancy sector for over 20 years I've seen candidates labelled as terrible by one employer then work out very well with another.
Just because someone didn't perform well in one role, it doesn’t necessarily make them a poor candidate for the next.
Successful recruitment relies on a number of factors and I believe there is a role out there to match everyone. Candidate credentials, fit to the organisation and suitability to a specific vacancy are all critical to success, but candidates must also be given the tools to succeed by the employer and recruiter before, during and after the selection and hiring process.
