Comment on: Topic 'Recruiting..... Art or Science?': re arctic: Their biology adapted in ways that enabled them to live given the constraints of their environment. All these adaptations are the result of centuries plus of scientific intervention. Recruiters who last through multiple business cycles have adapted to be able to take beatings and still come back for more - but with smiles on their faces. Back to being serious, what we call intuition is something better referred to by the scientific name: heuristics or short cuts to decision making that individuals have "created" based upon some internal analysis of data over a long period of time. Humans are pretty good at making decisions with a limited number of variables at play but decades of research show that when the the situation becomes exceedingly complex, "statistical" or "mechanistic" solutions perform at least as good as the best human decision (go look up the research by Paul Meehl). And what's creativity? Becky, when we spoke and talked about your tough jobs, my soothing advice wasn't based upon the fact that I took a nice warm shower that morning or that I swabbed some eucalyptus on the bottoms of my feet before I donned my socks and shoes - it was many years of data speaking (or if you prefer, trial and error). These heuristics are based upon trial and error - all of them. When you're "feeling", it's your internal computer chugging away at the data trying to make sense of a new situation. It's when you don't heed the data that the art comes into play. Which leads to a follow up question... How many great recruiters are divorced or have a spotty personal relationship record?…; Added by Steve Levy at 6:09am on March 27, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'How to Totally Avoid Age Discrimination in CV's': bout their age. If you do fool somebody with your resume, what happens when you walk though the door to meet with an employer who is expecting someone with only 10 years work experience and the person who presents appears to have been personal friends with Lewis and Clark. Do you like being tricked? I don't and most employers feel the same way. You won't get a chance to talk about your value. You will get at most a short, courtesy interview and an irritated employer because you misrepresented yourself and if fact lied by omission. Unless a mature job seeker plans on extensive plastic surgery, finding a good forger to redo diplomas, and have someone perform a partial lobotomy on previous employers, trying to trick someone by sanitizing a resume is just stupid. We all are who and what we are. When I get one of these works of art, my first question is, "is this a full resume of all career experience?". If the answer is no, I won't send out a partial resume. My clients have a right to know who is going to walk through the door not have to deal with a sleazy recruiter trick to get an interview. If you can't place a mature candidate based on their actual work experience and expertise don't exacerbate their concern about their age by telling them to misrepresent themselves. Nobody like to be tricked or feel like they have to trick somebody to get a job and 99 % of the time it won't work anyway. Nobody is that dumb at this stage of the game.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 1:40pm on June 10, 2013
