How to avoid candidates who do not fit the profile?

Hi, Recruiter! It’s great to have you here! Are you getting candidates who do not fit the desired profile for your position?

Maybe it's time to rethink your selection process and edit your position. Unqualified candidates mean that there are points in your position that could be improved:

- How is the promotion of your position going?

- Are the job requirements very clear and detailed?

- Have you detailed what the job activities will be?
