How to crush HH check-in calls?
Have been actively recruiting for several months now. Will see emails from HH for roles I’m interested in. I’ll email to indicate interest. The HH will ask to have a check-in call. We have the call. They tell me about the fund and ask if I’m in any processes and if I’m interested and then nothing happens.
Why have the check-in call if you don’t want to advance me to the first round? Unless, I’m doing something wrong on the check-in call?
Why do HH do this? What are they looking for here? What can I do on these calls to advance to the first round.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights and tips to help you crush HH (headhunter) check-in calls and increase your chances of advancing to the first round:

Send a PM can exchange some notes here on roles and such. I do these check ins fairly often
I guess they send the fund your resume (amongst other resumes) and the fund decides to progress with other people
It means your resume was not selected during the initial screening phase. Not likely you can do anything differently during the check-in call to impact that. Recruiters simply do not have an organized process to follow up with people who were not selected. Or, occasionally, funds will select an initial batch of resumes and if no one proceeds to the next round from the initial batch, then the fund returns to the resume pile. So as a result, recruiters don't follow up with you unless there is a reason to.
