Comment on: Topic 'Confidential Searches - How do you interest passive candidates when you can't s…': make #$@% up out of whole cloth or you'll be dismissed as a dope or worse, a weasel. It calls for respectfully (and virtually) putting your hands on the other person's shoulders and nudging them to stand in a new position to see the situation from a new perspective. That said, you provided some insanely valuable insights in your comment below. Turn it around as a benefit to the candidates that this is a confidential search: "My client is a very savvy player in this market. They know the risks of not staying in stealth mode with this search. In exchange for their insistence on anonymity, they are committed to protecting your identity as well. Like you, these are PR pros and they know how to manage information flow. And like you, they know that opportunities to influence outcomes-- and careers-- can be fleeting and must be grabbed when they surface. So now you know everything that I'm ethically permitted to share with you. If I represent you to this client, I will not jeopardize the trust you've placed in me. That's all I can promise to anyone." Then just let it hang. You have given the candidate everything you can to help them make an informed decision (keeping in mind that life is not perfect and we rarely have every possible fact when making decisions). Now you can see why this type of nuanced situation jazzes me! Important PS to my comment above: You must first have actually extracted this promise from the client! (to protect the candidate's identity in the professional community). If this goes bad because of loose lips on the client side, it won't matter to the candidate who was ultimately at fault. YOU will take the heat and will need to own the fiasco.

Comment on: Topic 'As job boards restrict access to resumes, what is your game plan?': hat the wrong people will gain access to thier information. Although I don't see the main boards out there drastically changing anything right away, this will definately put the issue on their radar. I have thought for some time now that we may have to return to the "old fashioned" recruiting/sourcing methods of actually meeting, talking with and networking with people rather than connecting via internet or phone. Those mediums can and will still be used but they should be secondary. I think the first meeting is the most important and sets the tone for the relationship moving forward. We are going to have to get out there and start "pressing the flesh" more often which will lead to more personal referrals and in turn more first hand business leads.

Comment on: Topic 'LIONS, TIGER AND BEARS - OH MY!': e total con artist i once got a fab offer for in a medical sales role turned out to be a recruiter who had spent a few years in the pen. Stopped his deal at the 11th hour and 59th minute when the alarm bells in my brain started going off when he seemed inordinately interested in how fast he would receive his hiring bonus. Seems this guy would use someone else's identity and resume, go through the process, get hired, start work,collect the hiring bonus then disappear after a couple of weeks. When a company went looking for him they discovered some poor guy who was still working at the last job reflected on the resume who had never interviewed with anybody. The end came because the recruiter crook had used the same resume twice. My con artist had been very adamant that i not call him at work or leave any voice messages on his work phone. I called the company on the resume asked for him. A very pleasant fellow answered by name. I identified myself, asked him if he was ready to start with XXXcorp Monday. When he said, "Mrs McCartt i don't believe i have ever spoken with you before and i have never heard of XXXcorp but please stay on the line i would like to reach the FBI and patch them in to this call." "My identity has been stolen and this same thing happened about two months ago but this person applied through a web site so there was not a third party involved, he used a chain of bogus emails and a prepaid cell so perhaps this time we can catch him. Because my crook had not started yet and thought he was still under the radar he still had the cell so the FBI was able to grab him. It was a pretty cool sting that ended with the FBI walking into a recruiting firm and bagging him at his desk with the resume in his attache case. Once the perp was identified the real person recalled applying for a job through the recruiting firm a year or so earlier , he had filled out an application and provided his SSN and completely forgotten about it when nothing every happened. And we wonder why people are hesitant to give us the information to check them out. It was not the finest moment when i had to call my client and let them know that Mr. Crook would not be showing up for work on Monday because he was not the person to whom the resume belonged. Who knows how many times he had done it. The FBI may know but they simply said it was not the first time but it might be the last for a while. My client gave a statement as did i, client identified the crook's picture as the person who had represented himself with the resume. I know the guy's real name. Once in a while i do a quick search just to see if he has gotten out and is working for another recruiting firm. How close did you background check that guy who is on your sales desk? :) These really bizzare ones happen once in a while but it seems that the less sophisticated liars are coming out of the woodwork in droves. I found a totally bogus profile on Linkedin last week, could be a real person using a false name to protect their identity but it could also be a recruiter trying to locate that kind of job opening . Just happen to have a connection at the company listed on the profile. They have never heard of the person and there is no one there who has the background shown on the profile and never has been.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 12:21am on January 12, 2011
