Search Results - He Has A Good Point

Comment on: Topic 'New Recruiter Advice': never a need to apologize for speaking your honest thoughts. 90% of search is about research. You can sometimes get an inkling of a person's research skills by watching them ask a question which seems to indicate very little time spent considering the question. Nonetheless, I did say "Probably you meant something a bit different from the way I have interpreted your post. I hope so!" and "Good luck! If you really are a Headhunter, you'll figure it all out, anyway. These are just some good, juicy books to start with." I'm tired of whiners. I'll also note (for the record) that I am the only person who has actually suggested ANY reading matter at this point, which seems to disqualify the objections I've read above. Pete Radloff: You are bringing up old stuff that has since been totally, totally debunked. There is not a word of truth in any of it, so you are merely spreading malicious and stupid nonsense/gossip. "Baptism of fire" is an expression that has its roots in the experience of 'running the gantlet'. In the world of search, there can be no better teacher. All the same, thank you Katrina and Pete for contributing your cognitive dissonance. I would find your critique much more valuable if you had bothered to contribute any actual answers to "the kid's" questions, though. Is there any reason you didn't? You would seem to be able to do so, if you wished. By the way, I'm not the only one who is lucky to be 'infamous': Stephen Hawking's latest paper boasts about how he has become the most infamous Physicist in the history of the World. Not such bad company to keep, is it? Hawking's Confession: He finally comes clean! "Forty years ago, one of the authors ['he who shall not be named' i.e. Hawking himself-- ed.] argued that information is destroyed when a black hole is formed and subsequently evaporates. This conclusion seems to follow inescapably from an ‘unquestionable’ set of general assumptions such as causality, the uncertainty principle and the equivalence principle. However it leaves us bereft of deterministic laws to describe the universe. This is the infamous information paradox." http://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.00921v1.pdf Katrina, I also want to point out that it certainly does not bode well for Recruitingblogs.com that the inquisitive novice recruiter received 50 answers to the question on Facebook, and only mine, on Recruitingblogs.com. That's obviously the real problem, here. Participation is much too low.…; Added by Nicholas Meyler at 12:30am on January 12, 2016

Comment on: Blog Post 'CareerBuilder is greasing palms again': ed-to-be Super Power like GM that Business 101 hasn't changed.. When you embrace the norm you set yourself up for extinction. (my rant on norms) No argument from me regarding the commonality of this type of marketing or in a stretch "gratitude".. Although my point, which seems to continually get lost in the "This is the norm" conversation, is... does this give clients what they really need.. Better ROI? And really does the "norm" play well in this economy when dollars should be tight and focused? You know how to keep your best clients happy? DELIVER at a better cost and more efficiently.. Ask any CEO what he would rather have and I think I'd win on this one hands down..…; Added by Chad Sowash at 2:28pm on June 11, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Are you a good fit for this job?': an easy result. We see this constantly in LinkedIn in particular. I would argue that tweeted jobs can work, when you use an app like TwitterJobSearch, where the response comes from outside of your following. I've seen it working first hand for Oracle, but they are a big enough brand to sustain it. I've also seen twitter work well for niche consultancies like Cloud Nine, though Steve does recruit in social media. He has spent plenty of time building a targeted audience. and gets hires in this way. It's worth using the channels and tools available to find candidates and share opportunities, not at the expense of picking up the phone. Bill …; Added by Bill Boorman at 6:51pm on October 3, 2011
