From Qatayef to KPIs: 12 Challenges Recruiters Might Face During Ramadan 

The holy month is upon us, which means it’s a time of spiritual reflection, prayer, giving, and fasting. Not to forget the long-awaited Ramadan series on MBC and the delicious aroma of qatayef. But for many recruiters, it’s also a time of scheduling nightmares, recruitment challenges, rumbling stomachs, and a lot of staring longingly at empty coffee cups.

Simply put, it’s that time of year again when recruiters might feel like they’re starring in their own version of “The Fast and The Furious”. Instead of racing cars, they’re racing against the clock to hire top talent during the month of Ramadan. From candidates disappearing faster than a plate of dates at Iftar, and caffeine withdrawals leaving us feeling like we’re stuck in slow-motion – it’s no wonder that recruiters find themselves scrambling to fill positions this time around.

But fear not, fellow recruiters, for we are in this together. Sit back, relax, and let’s commiserate over the struggles that only we can understand!

Shorter working hours got you squeezing in all your tasks in one day

Candidates who suddenly remember they’re “not really looking for a job right now”

Candidates who seem to vanish faster than a tray of baklava at Iftar

Interviewing sleep-deprived candidates

Trying to function without the lifeblood of recruiting: coffee

Just like The Hunger Games, the hiring odds are not always in our favour

Dealing with the “I’ll call you back” candidate and never hearing back from them again

The “Starving for talent” recruiter who can’t seem to attract top talent

Turning into a night owl and trailblazing through interviews at night

Headaches that leave you seeing floating samosas instead of your KPIs

Keeping it fast
