How do you handle these type of enquiries?
Although I'm trying to fill an immediate spot, I'm continuing to get enquiries way in advance like July and September 2017!
It's frustrating but a lead is a lead and still happy to get them.
How I have been handling these is to kindly tell them it's too early to know whether I will have a spot available so far in advance, and that the ideal time to contact is a few months in advance of their desired start date.
So far I have never successfully enrolled these type of candidates because when I keep their name on a list and contact them later, they have not responded as no doubt I've been long forgotten.
So I acknowledge maybe I'm doing this all wrong... but it still doesn't make sense to me to have them visit so far in advance when they are probably not at a stage yet where they want to hand in their deposit to secure a spot?
I just feel like they are window shopping at this point and I don't want to waste time and energy with the interview for a very slight chance they will enroll much later.
Do I have the wrong attitude?
Wondering how everyone handles it.
