Why Recruiters Wait to Tell You the Company Name
As a candidate exploring new job opportunities, it’s common to be excited when a recruiter reaches out about a role that seems like a perfect fit. However, if you’ve ever been contacted by a recruiter and found that they didn’t immediately share the name of the company they’re hiring for, it can be frustrating and leave you wondering, “Why don’t they tell me who it is?”
While it might seem strange at first, there are a few important reasons why recruiters often keep the company name confidential at the initial stages of the hiring process. Understanding these reasons can help you navigate the process and engage more effectively with recruiters.
