<p>Hi Michael,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember Consolidated Communications Systems. I believe I met some of your folks during a recruiting trip to Springfield, IL. Funny! I do remember when McLeodUSA acquired Consolidated but don't think I was there then. I returned to my contract recruiting business after McLeod's IPO May/June 1996.

<p>I don't usually stop and read these articles during the day but something caught my eye. As I continued on through your article I got to the point about OCC and then McLeodUSA. WOW...I had almost forgotten that when I went to work for Consolidated Communications Systems and Services as their HR Manager, I had to sell management on the idea of subscribing to OCC. I told them is was the wave of the future. At that time...it was about $2000 for a lifetime subscription with a minimal annual fee (I think). That was back in 1995 and before we were sold to McLeodUSA! It looks like you were gone by that time based on your profile. What a small world.</p>

<p>Hi Elise,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would you agree that people want to feel wanted? Of course we do! It is hard wired in our system. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would you prefer to spend 15 to 20 minutes completing an application online while you have been conditioned the company will not ever call you, just send the requisite "thank you for applying letter..."</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Or would you prefer the recruiter call you after reading your resume, discussing the company and job, and requesting a phone screen? Which method provides a better first impression? And you only get one chance at that!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Logically if the first impression is better, wouldn't you expect that the balance of the process would flow better including offer and acceptance? Now a company is building an employment brand that people understand. Their actions demonstrate they value people and their time.</p>

<p>True recruiting is a sales process. Check out my blog "Attracting Passive Candidates" <a href="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profiles/blogs/attracting-passive-candidates" target="_blank">http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profiles/blogs/attracting-passive-candidates</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for asking your question!</p>

<p></p>
<p>I am certainly intrigued by this and so I want to ask, do you mean a tried and true sales process makes a candidate feel more comfortable or more likely to accept?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
