Comment on: Blog Post 'Let’s have a toast for the douche bags. Let’s have a toast for the recruiters': re are tools that can help automate the process and maybe decrease the people who don't get notified one way or the other, but I'm sure you know that. I think the good sign is that you feel badly about it.. I think just that sets you apart from recruiters who really don't care about the candidate experience at all..…; Added by Amy at 11:59pm on November 1, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Why manage Candidate Experience?': of whether the engagement results in a fee paid. Like Einstein said, "Not everything that counts can be measured and not everything that can be measured counts." Numbers were created to be a tool for us to use, not a master for us to be used by. When we are controlled by numbers, their increase equals our decrease. We become lessened by more. Thanks to Kiran for adding to us with his post.…; Added by Pedro S.

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': e sourcing. Sourcers can NOTexpect to make a continuing good livelihood based on the ignorance of clients/employers about these effective, low-cost alternatives. Keith, I asked this before and MAYBE I missed the answer but can you tell us what one gets - what one is guaranteed to receive - for the dollar amounts you talk about above? I have seen you post these remarks many, many times and only thought to ask you about them once.…; Added by Maureen Sharib at 2:40pm on March 2, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Is Honesty Really Worth It?': caused a little heartache. That said, she is currently unemployed, so the offer is clearly a very large increase compared to her current income :-) In this case I think honesty has been the best policy. I worked very closely with her pre-interview, and once I broke the news to her the two of us have been in contact daily to discuss her decision which will be made during a phone call with myself and the manager today.…; Added by Gino Conti at 7:56am on March 26, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Can Someone Please Explain to Me What Linkedin Is Doing?': the population by definition will regress to the mean of the population and will therefore decrease. The same concept happens in business - unless there are some hardcore paradigm shifters in charge. With LinkedIn, I'm not seeing them. So the product becomes more like what the average users are paying for. As long as the quality of recruiting declines so will the proclivity of LinkedIn to pander their product to the average but fee paying recruiters and users.…; Added by Steve Levy at 2:26pm on May 4, 2014

Topic: Third Party Thursday - Google Results – Real or Not?: , more can often be downright misleading. What many people don’t realize is that Google, regardless of the results count you see, returns something in the neighborhood of 1000 results. Here is how to check this. First, go into Google Preferences and make sure you have Number of Results set to 100. Then, run any search and get over 1000 results. Then go to the bottom of the page and you will notice page numbers 1 - 10. Click on page 10 and you will see there is no Next button any more because the engine only returns the first 1000. Another indicator is the result count. Whenever you see Results 1 - 100 of about x,xxx that is your cue to work on your string. It is the word "about" that lets you know. Whenever you have more than 1000 you need to add skills, title, industry, and geography keywords to get those results way down. A rule of thumb is getting results down is to use AND components to your string. Keep adding keywords until you get those results less than 1000 because it is not until that point that you actually know what you are dealing with. A better number of results to shoot for is somewhere in the 100-200 hit range. This is a number that most of us can get through in a sourcing session. The good thing is that as you add keywords and the results decrease, the results that remain are better matches for your assignment. On the other hand, if you have too few results, you want to add OR components. Remember...AND's decrease results...OR's increase results.…; Added by Mark E. Berger at 8:00am on December 18, 2008
