Comment on: Topic 'Senior Tech Recruiter on the market VIRTUAL': ay me back 200 or 300K? I don't think so. At least I wouldn't do it if I were you. But that's really the deal being worked out each time a senior recruiter joins another firm. You've got to start from scratch, dig up some clients and make a placement. Now if you go into a corporate setting the rules and compensation all change. I don't know that world so can't speak about that. Don't mean to tell you what to do since we don't know each other. I just really love the "free range staffing artist" approach to this whole world and the barrier to entry isn't anything like it was 20 years ago. I remember the agency were I started. Huge file drawers kept under lock and key. Telephone bills were thousands of dollars a month. Client names and phone numbers were much harder to come by....... Today the vast majority of all that stuff is readily available for us all. P.S. Yes - I'm opinionated. :) Just thought to maybe use this topic to get a few others maybe also in the same sitch to think about whether they really need an agency to get restarted or if it's time to do their own thing. Kids change the dynamics though! I know exactly where you are with 3 here at home! Best of luck!…; Added by Jerry Albright at 8:20pm on September 21, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Question of the day: What one thing at your desk are you most thankful for this…': nted to use that phrase) and drawers galore. My desk is my command post and center that holds what I need even if I don't need it at the moment...it's all there just in case. So it's not the "one thing" but thee thing that holds and carries all my things that enable me to do my thing...my phone, computer, printer, calculator, calendar, fax (when it works), notes, files, folders, old rolodex, a portable fan, photos of family, friends and critters I know or know of; paperweights, pen gift sets and mugs--business cards, office supplies, etc. The general clutter at first glance soon gives way to recognizable books, manuals, mags, clippings, napkin notes and a deflated balloon. Some lucky charms like loaded dice and Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner figurines adorn my desk. What is interesting is that within my clutter I know what lies 4-6 items deep…because I put stuff in a place I always come back to…my DESK. …; Added by Valentino Martinez at 11:42am on November 26, 2011

Topic: Color My World: set according to color and length of sleeve, leg, or skirt. It works out well for me. But, I miss my file folders in all different colors, I miss having a reason to use my 36 different colored sharpies. I still keep them around. I always will. With our transfer to and fascination with "all things virtual," have we lost the need to organize, color-code, systemize, and categorize? Oh yes, I know there are virtual folders and if you are like me, you can color code events and calendar items in Outlook, but is it the same? I used to love sectioning off the Director of Business Development candidates in the red file folders, while the Director of Product Development candidates were in blue, and the Organic Chemist' candidates were in purple. Holding paper resumes that were marked up with my handwritten notes gave me such satisfaction. It showed the work, in my hand! Handwritten professional references on a yellow pad were time consuming to transcribe but those conversations were etched into my brain because they were etched by my hand. Relationships seemed more solid because there were mounds of paper behind them, backing up every conversation, not collapsible notes in a CRM or added details in an online address book. Business cards went somewhere instead on in stacks on desks and tossed in drawers. The notes on a business card meant something and were always visible as you cruised through your rolodex. I miss the way we used to touch paper, write on paper, file paper, find paper and read from paper. It is earthy, it is visceral. Like face-to-face communication - almost indelible. It was the cement, the glue, the binding, and the handshake. The hash marks on my daily call sheet, the whoop when a resume came in the mail or via fax, the hand-written thank you note from a candidate or hiring manager. Now we just pray for a LinkedIn recommendation. © by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 2:31am on December 1, 2009
