Let’s Loosen Up a Bit: 10 Recruiter Jokes to Laugh At

With mountains of paperwork and complicated client’s requests, being a recruiter is not easy. A job as a recruiter gives you a work-life balance and good paycheck, but it also comes with the pressure and stress of having to deal with various types of candidates. 

That’s why, let’s loosen up a bit and have a smile with these recruiter jokes you might love. 

1. Job seekers DO want a high salary 

A recruiter asked a job candidate: “Why do you expect such a high salary when you have no experience in this field?” 

Job applicant replied: “Well, the job is much harder when you don’t know what you are doing.” 

2. Some candidates’ greatest talent is sometimes beyond the recruiter’s cognizance.

3. His last job is a bit...cringy. 

In an interview, a recruiter wants to know a candidate’s last experience to place him better in a suitable job interview. So she asked, “How do you feel about your last job?” 

The candidate replied, “It was exhausting and challenging. All the aliens were tough and brilliant. But we managed to wipe them all.” 

The recruiter with a confused and frown face said, “But there is no alien, sir.” 

“There is no alien...ANYMORE,” the candidate emphasised with proud and smiling emotion. 

4. When your candidate loves jokes 

5. A responsible candidate. Isn’t that what every recruiter looks for? 

A recruiter said to a job candidate, “In this job, we need someone who is responsible.” 

The job applicant replied, “That’s me. I am the one you want. In my last job, every time went wrong, they said I was responsible.” 

6. That sad moment when you are being promoted to “customer” 

A recruiter asked a candidate: “Why did you leave your last job?” 

“It was something my boss said,” replied the candidate. 

“What did he say?” asked the recruiter again. 

“You are fired.” 

7. Working from home might be just a bit too comforting. Do you miss your work atmosphere or co-workers? Or both? 

8. Oh no!!! Dark humour it is...

A hiring manager handed you a brand new, luxurious Tibaldi Fulgor Nocturnus pen and said, “I want you to try and sell this to me”. So I put the pen in its box again carefully and walked out of the building telling the hiring manager it is the trick. Eventually, he called me and said, “Bring back the pen and you are hired.”

I told him, “What has lost, lost.” Now, I can see myself in a ‘Wanted’ brochure, investing the money after I sold the pen and living my best life in hiding. 

9. Work the job you love or learn to love the job 

“Dress for the job you want, not the job you have,” my boss said. Because of this, now I am sitting in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Wonder Woman. 

10. How is your candidate doing? Maybe this pigeon did it better...
