Comment on: Topic 'Question of the day: How do you handle the candidate who doesn't stop talking?': on to get an understanding that I find difficulty with. They wax on lyrically about how they can fix the world, and change the business they dont yet work in, never once pausing for clarification. And when you interject, they just let you ask the question and then right back on that train they go. Last time that happened I just told the candidate they were not suitable for the role and I would have trouble selling them to the hiring manager...well...that set this person off on a big sales pitch, so far removed from what we required that I came out with a headache.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Here's A New One - A Candidate Who Will Not Supply References': to improve their current situation with no real intention of making a switch. I know that we (I, however you want to word it) communicate to candidates that for all positions, an offer is contingent upon a fully completed background check - references, criminal, education, employment, etc.and the candidate provides a release form confirming this. It might be a tad late at this point to implement but I would ask the client if there's any standard policy in use (i.e. we didn't just make this up on the spot to get your references) on reference/background checks to give you a little more push with the candidate.

Comment on: Topic 'Are Recruiters Really Necessary?': ing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig." Take care, BillLeslie Wilcox Hughes said: Thanks for a great story to tell those who "Don't use Recruiters" thanks to Craig's List. I wonder if the VP does his own colonoscopy? Used equipment is probably available on Craig's List along with instructions. A perforated colon, bleeding and infection or possibly death shouldn't dissuade him from saving all the money he'd pay a Gastroenterologist and hospital for their services. An intelligent and wise person knows that they have limits on their abilities and they seek help when needed. I wonder how many thousands or millions of dollars of new business the candidate would have brought the company with his talents? I'd have to call that VP back and finish the discussion - after I'd placed the Candidate. I'd either turn him around and get his business or I'd leave him with a gnawing headache. …; Added by Bill Radin at 11:37am on August 11, 2011
