If they’re a no show then either the recruiter has not done a good enough job of gaining the candidates commitment or there was a better opportunity they’ve chosen to pursue.

Unless its a win-win, it would be a hard close which can be temporary in nature.

Number one needs to be: develop a solid, trusting relationship with the candidate. Recruiters that take the time to build rapport and demonstrate genuine interest in their candidates have fewer instances of No Call No Show. It’s a fact. Candidates that feel their recruiters care about their personal and professional interests are less hesitant to say they are entertaining another offer or aren’t interested in the position.
