Comment on: Blog Post 'Are job boards a waste of time?': o package not mentioned or something of that ilk. But trust me your linkedin profile is not going to take the place of a resume. If a process is crappy if all that is involved in it is you wasting your VALUABLE time to fire me an email with your resume ,then you my friend are the elitist and much too important for my humble abode. It is not all about you the individual. there are thousands of folks out there looking for jobs. Consider what the process would look like if they all just started calling everybody in the company, wouldn't fill out an app or send a resume. Stomped their little foot and said, "everything is on my linkedin profile, i don't like your crappy process, i dont' want to send a resume, i want to call you on my valuable time no matter what is on your schedule, i want your attention, and i want it now, on my terms. See i want you to hire me, pay me, make my life wonderful in a fabulous company culture where i can grow, learn ,be promoted, have work/life balance, execllent benefits and above all i want to have a kissy gem of a candidate experience if i think you can give me all that shit i need. Fill out your application and go through whatever protocol you have set up to handle the hundreds of thousands of people who want the same thing. No, no, no, not moi, moi is much too valuable to be treated as if i am not special. You will accept my terms , roll out the red carpet and provide me with a wonderful day where i am treated like the little prince that i think i am. You will get back to me before i have time to get in the limmo that you sent to the airport with glowing reports of how wonderful i am and let me know i will have an offer waiting for me by the time i get home. Oh and by the way, we need to address the relo package, your standard package for my level is just not acceptable. I am simply bored with all the hue and cry of the candidate "experience". For decades people have been treated graciously by any and all companies who invited them in for an interview. Just as they are by most recruiters. However i will totally disagree with your statement that how people are treated during the interview process reflects how they are treated as employees or reflects the company culture. Interviewing people is not something that people in businesses do everyday. I hear far more stories about how the candidate went through a slick dog and pony show interview sell a thon, went to work and wondered what happened to all the hype he got during the interview process. I have also had beaucoup people tell me that the interview process was like a goat rodeo because everybody was busy, somebody got called to a meeting , somebody else had to sit in for them etc. etc. it was wild. They got the job and when they went to work it was great, organized, busy, laid back people who were not frantic trying to do their job and interview candidats at the same time. It occurs to me that most of the folks bitching about the "candidate experience" are those who did not get hired, applied for a job that was not a fit, had too many job changes, didn't want to provide a resume , wanted the world to shift to their linkedin profile, or in some fashion either in the interview or after the interview drove people nuts with phone calls, sent demanding emails, tried to connect either before or after the interview with employees of the company and didn't take a reasonable business approach to the whole process. You can't go to your bank and tell them you want a loan without filling out a loan application. You can't go to your doctor and be treated without filling out an information sheet. You can't get insurance on your vehicle without filling out an application. You can't buy a home without filling out a loan application and providing the required information. You can't buy an airline ticket and board a plane without showing your drivers license. You can't get a credit card without filling out an application. You can call a million different places and talk to them about getting a credit card, getting insurance, getting a loan, buying a home, joining a club, getting your kid into school, joining a club or for God's sake signing up for a website. Why in the name of God people think they can get a job by calling a hiring manager on the phone and get treated like the queen is coming to tea without sending a resume ,filling out an application, making an appointment with the appropriate person is beyond me. It's not "candidate experience" ,most of the time with most companies or recruiters it's two business people have a business discussion. A cordial informative communication between two professionals who take a minute to be sure the other has all the information they need prior to the meeting time. If a client calls me to ask for a proposal before i am invited to meet with them in person i am not going to tell them my time is valuable, they need to look at my website and i will call their boss to talk to the boss before i am willing to send them anything just to see if i really want to send a proposal. Nor am i going to tell them that i don't like their crappy process, I afterall an experience recruiter, i am looking for a "service provider experience". Bat Crap with all this silliness. @Bill if a perfect candidate calls me, most of the time they have enough sense to ask if they can make an appointment to come meet with me. If i ask them to email me a resume they never hesitate to do so. It has been my experience that the ones who want to beat in my ear for 30 minutes or the little shits that tell me they prefer i look them up on linkedin rather than email a resume are the ones who can go have thier candidate experience someplace else. I work with and represent business professionals who understand that there are protocols in any business situation and they have no problem following them. …; Added by Sandra McCartt at 7:50pm on May 4, 2012
