Comment on: Blog Post 'What is your strategy when faced with a high volume of applications ?': oping a quick exercise for applicants to complete in addition to submitting a resume. Something simple, but relevant to the position and representative of what that person might actually do on the job. In the past, I've found those exercises to be valuable in a couple of ways. They cut down on the amount of resume spam. Candidates not really interested in the job won't complete the exercise. It also gives you a much better way to compare work product and communication skills within tangible work product. If a candidates exercises don't look good, then there is no point in reviewing the resume. Good luck!…; Added by Ian Jones at 11:00am on March 30, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Starting my own recruiting business from home.': ou up: a) you do not have access to hundreds of thousands of advertising budgets that firms spend; b) access to your coworkers and their headhunted and carefully screened candidates, c) no structured environment. The good news: All money that you make goes directly into your pocket (minus expenses). So make sure to pick up your own clients, by doing your biz dev calls in a morning and recruiting calls during the day. Some people might recommend partnering / splitting a fee - I find thats never a good idea as the process will get even more tedious and harder to control. My quick 2 cents. Once again, this business is not for light hearted - as Danny C. would say - you gotta eat what you kill.…; Added by Alex Kovalenko at 10:02pm on March 16, 2011

Comment on: Topic 'Tutorial Tuesday: Google Search Operators - the Tilde': omated function. When many people OR together the same words (e.g. [child | children | kid | kids]), or search on one and then another in quick succession (e.g., [child] then [children] then [kid] then [kids]), at a certain point Google "learns" that these words are somewhat synonymous. This process explains the gaps, or the possible mismatches or lack of matches (until very recently, for example, [~teen] had no related terms).    You can use the tilde as a short-cut, but you should always check what kind of a short cut you are getting, first. Want to search on [~child]? First try NOTing out responses until you know what you are dealing with. I start with [~child -child] and keep adding terms until my search is [~child -child -kids -family -young -baby -children -children's -childhood], and I get the following error message: "Your search - ~child -child -kids -family -young -baby -children -children's -childhood - did not match any documents." Then, I know what I am getting when I use the tilde, and can edit my search accordingly. I might use [~child OR elementary], for example, as an element in some of my searches for how young students are learning search. (Note that this list has grown significantly in the past few months-I think that "baby," 'children's," and "childhood" are all new--and that "kidz" used to be returned as well, but is now gone, so someone must be editing the list at some point.)    The tilde is a great tool when you know how it works, and I really appreciate that Glen took the time to experiment and demonstrate. It especially can help you avoid the 32-word limit on searches. As long as you master the tool, instead of letting it master you, it can certainly save you time in searches you run frequently.…; Added by Tasha Bergson-Michelson at 4:07pm on July 30, 2009
