These situations never end well. I'm not going to chase a candidate just to have a conversation to find out they aren't right. I'll pursue maybe two steps, but after that, I'm out. I want to talk to a candidate who is actually interested in the opportunity, not in wasting my time or trying to go for a power struggle over a recruiter. It may sound jaded, but we have an excellent successful placement rate and I attribute it to finding candidates that are excited about the opportunity/future and not just meh about it.

<p>Thank you Jim! Most candidates I speak to aren't actively looking for something new. My job is to turn a passive candidate active and the only way to do that is for me to get them on the phone. Is there a line you use in response to them asking for a company name? Do you just say - Im happy to share it live and can be flexible to your schedule after work hours if thats easier? <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Jim Fell said:…</cite></p>
