I am new to recruiting but I am with your peer. I would input everything. I guess the real issue would be the database itself. I use an excel spreadsheet (with full intentions of creating my own access database) I note contact type (e-mail -phone-IM), dates and cross reference to resume, name etc . The real problem may be in the database design. You should try sorting by the phone number prefix if you really want people only in Ohio. You never know the guy in Texas may be a canidate for…

I believe in a networking approach to candidates sourcing. Everyone that you come in contact with may either be your next placement or the referral that will take you to the next placement. Just because I don't have anything for him now, doesn't mean he is set aside. He may know oher professionals to refer to you or you may have a position in the future to match his requirements or his situation might change and he might eventually consider the move.<br />

The other possibility is that most prospect are not ready to talk to a recruiter on the first time they receive a call. He may just have been blowing you off. Either way I would add him to my tickler list of prospects to check on in the future. Craig.

Craig. I wouldn't scrape Monster, or CB and add them, but I would add people that I haven't talked to. They just won't have any notes in the notes field, telling me that we haven't made initial contact yet.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't mind have a person in TX who 'thought' that they would never move to Ohio in my DB, you never know when serendipity will hit, the stars align and WHAM the guy you thought wouldn't, will.

Too many times I have looked back and wished I had stored some piece of data that I didn't. I tend to be a data storage junkie because I just never know what will happen in my life when I might need it. Holds true for resumes. You just never know if there will be a time you want that person in Texas and you'll kick yourself for not storing it. Craig makes a great point too. Before the days of powerful search tools I can see why you would only want relevant data stored since getting to it…

Before the days of powerful search tools I can see why you would only want relevant data stored since getting to it quickly is essential to your job. Today it seems that more is better.
