Comment on: Blog Post 'The Half Million Dollar Recruiter': ll told me that they usually outsource the admin work and sourcing to other people. They handle the sales and client relationships and short listing. And that's how the big classy recruiting firms work too. They bring in the business then job out to the sourcing and screening to guys like you and me and then they make the presentations themselves. And take the lion's share of the fee.…; Added by Recruiting Animal at 3:51pm on March 28, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'LinkedIn Profile Photo? 5 Things NOT To Do': er elementary at best. You're not saying anything untrue, but you're about 5 years behind in the relevancy. Today, most companies look for "distinguishing" factors. What the internet has done in general and what social media does to the nth degree is make the world much smaller, bringing a huge amount of data and information to the for front making everything and everyone more accessible. What needs to be done when the market place is so crowded is to be "unique" and different. You completely ignored the creative industry (which is one of the larger sectors now a days). For instance, advertising agencies, film, marketing firms, tv, radio, print and web media, etc. On top of that take into consideration even Google. Do you think they hire "run of the mill" vanilla type techies? No they do not. Nobody wants that anymore. Web, internet, interactive companies look for creative hackers, designers and the like. Even CEO's (take for instance Gregg of Jib Jab http://www.linkedin.com/in/greggspiridellis) us avatars, something you think makes you look less serious? In today's market post MySpace, post Facebook, Post etc..... being taken seriously has more to do with how good they are at a certain skill set and having the balls to express their creative uniqueness. Anyway, not a personal jab because I think you were well meaning. Your post is well suited to the Fortune 500 cookie cutter candidate, not to the top 20% of the field who aren't defined by boundaries of the average.…; Added by Joshua Lee at 6:24pm on June 21, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'for the recruiter---Are skills truly transferable?': in this economy with more candidates, employers can be that much more specific and less inclined to consider the transferable skills, simply because they don't have to. If they have the option for instance of someone who was just laid off from a direct competitor doing the exact same job and who is great, vs. someone who doesn't have exact experience, then who would they likely go with? This kind of an economy is an opportunity in a way for people to shift gears, and transfer their skills into working for themselves possibly.…; Added by pam claughton at 11:01am on December 10, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'Social Media vs. Social Recruiting': on a shelf (funerals for instance) Call me an old dog if you will, but I find that social media is for social activities and social recruiting (LinkedIn) for RECRUITING and like to keep the two separate. When I'm on FB, I'm not thinking about my technical searches and that's the way I like it. Recruiting on FB for me is like working the crowd at a wedding. It's OK to tell people what you do and if/when they want to approach you, that's another thing.…; Added by Heinz Bartesch at 12:59pm on August 18, 2011

Comment on: Topic 'There is no Social Recruiting': ng enjoyable things with each other. So obviously the latter clause is BS, but the first part there is actually social, according to the Webster's.
