Employment is at an all-time high and 2019 has been a good year so far for recruiters! However, people never talk about the real struggles recruiters go through. They don’t talk about all of the extra hours recruiters put into helping people get a job. Recruiters are some of the hardest working people and they deserve a laugh. To the recruiters out there, here is a list of jokes that are bound to make you laugh and feel seen!

  1. The truth about working in recruitment.
When you started recruitment, you were under the impression that it was a “9-5 job”. You now know that if a candidate needs to talk to you on a Sunday at 11 am about preparing for an interview they got, that’s your Sunday now. You wonder “Do those hours also go on the timesheet?”

  1. What it’s like working with picky clients.
