To fill a vacancy is a challenge for all recruiters. You might face difficulties in every single part of recruitment process, from sourcing to decision making. We used to think that candidates need jobs and they will find us by themselves, but time has changed! Is it time for recruiters to put themselves in candidates' shoes?

National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has released the results of the survey in 2014, in which HR professionals will tell us what skills they most appreciated in recruiting. You may be surprised with "top 10" skills below:
- Teamwork ability;
- Ability to make decisions and solve problems;
- The ability to communicate with others (both inside and outside the enterprise);

You can see all above elements are soft skills which could help people work together more effectively. And all is determined by EQ. Therefore, you would be hard to find a specific course in school only teach these skills.
- Ability to analyze data on technological knowledge related to work
- Ability to use computer software fluently. Ability to write / edit reports

The next 5 skills in the ranking focus more on specific skills including the ability to analyze, writing skills and proficiency in the use of computers.
