Giving someone the benefit of the doubt means that you hold a positive opinion or judgement of a person because there is no reason for you to think otherwise. Here at Weirdly, we strongly believe that recruiters should give people the benefit of the doubt. This means that they can become the people you want them to be.

In fact, only 17% of recruiters admitted that they respected their CRM enough to search it first (before LinkedIn, Job Boards etc…)
