It’s the gap between what they were told (or weren’t told) and what they walked into.
SLAs have been missed so many times the client is already halfway out the door. Say it.
It’s a turnaround job, fixing what’s broken and earning trust from a sceptical team. Say it.
There’s a retention problem, the team is stretched, and the backlog isn’t getting any shorter. Say it.
Candidates aren’t fragile. They can handle the truth. What they can’t handle is discovering it on week three.
The candidate who joins knowing all of this? They’re prepared. They’ve made an informed choice. And they’re far more likely to stick around.
If the reality of the role would put candidates off, that’s a filter working exactly as it should.
