Comment on: Blog Post 'Is it Really About to Get Better?': ut there has never been a one size fits all. The % pricing, which has been the "industry standard", is what everyone has fallen back on for lack of a better way to calculate our costs and price for a profit. If there have been any new ideas that worked well I haven’t heard of them. A lot of us have never been happy with the % of salary fee structure. It never reflected true cost/profit and probably has never made sense to our clients either. I have always tried to be creative without discounting in order to accommodate special circumstances or relationships I would be surprised if any recruiter that is still "shuffling resumes" is still in business. I agree that our business is going to continue to change and bring new challenges. Adding value is a simple business principle. When we do our job right, we provide a service and value that can’t be duplicated in house. If you are doing your job right, you know your market, you have a solid network, you understand what your client needs/wants and you can put it all together. Lots of clients understand that and don’t question why or what we charge. Others think we have a “candidate tree” and can just pick off ones that fit their specs and send them over. Ever had a client call you and ask if you “have any ------- in your files?” Expecting that the job title is all you would need to send them the perfect person. Those are the ones who don’t understand what we do. Finding the ones that do understand and value our services as the economy continues to struggle is our biggest challenge.…; Added by Fran Hogan at 2:23pm on September 15, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post '8 Key Differences Between Corporate Recruiters and Staffing Agency Recruiters': ve sometimes worked within the HR reporting structure and sometimes not. Though I have done and can do HR generalist type duties, I do not at all consider myself that - I am a recruiting specialist (specifically an engineering/management recruiting specialist). I feel it is important to make a distinction if you are actually going to call someone a "recruiter". All recruiters are sales and marketing oriented (or should be). They are many times the first face of the company. My job is to understand the needs and culture of my organization, find/attract talented individuals to meet those needs, get them through the interview process, negotiate offer packages, onboard them and ultimately make sure that they get off to a successful start with the company. We all compete - we compete for candidates with other companies - the the competition doesn't disappear because one is a corporate recruiter.I have had full responsibility for all of the positions open within my divisions - I do not pick and choose what I work on - found more "silo-ing" went on in the agency positions I worked than in my corporate roles. I have technical knowledge and recruiting expertise because that is what companies pay recruiters for - doesn't matter if you are corporate or agency. I have to understand the business. I have to understand what my candidates and my managers do and need. I have to understand what goes into making a successful bottom line. Really, the only bullet I can agree wholeheartedly on is the final one - and the best ways that companies can work with agencies is to be selective and make sure they have the proper information to do a job well for you.…; Added by Amy Toncray at 3:10pm on November 14, 2016
