Comment on: Blog Post 'Another Recruiter Sullying Our Good Name': real person. Please if you believe that do not every try online dating. Don't buy something from somebody on Craig's List who wants you to come pick it up. In the next five minutes any of us could set up all kinds of profiles all over the place. Recruiters are prostituting themselves like a bunch of cheap camp followers by the thousands. I am not berating you guys for wanting to believe that everything you see on the internet has a lovely person connected to it. I thought Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm was a doll and i love her basket of daiseys. As Kyle so well stated, we hold ourselves out there as the authority, telling candidates not to spam companies with their resumes, not to do mass mailings of their resumes flung like dung against a wall. then we have a debate about writing nicey nice notes to a dung flunging spammer cause her really did flung dung. Or the question may be how much dung did a dung flunger, flung if a dung flunger did flung dung. An incredible amount and this one got some dung flung back at her for dung flunging. No sweet girls i am not going to write nicey nice notes to a dung flunger, the nigerian princess of recruiting or anybody else who fills cyberspace with bulk emails. Every candidate i have who is above the level of high school is getting this crap from lots of somebodys who have a computer, a linkedin profile and a twitter account.We used to say that anybody with a desk and telephone could call themselves a recruiter, now it doesn't even take a desk or a telephone. Just internet access and they can be anybody they want to be. If Kathy at Thor group is a real person, she done flung dung and it splashed back on her. Maybe she learned something if she is real. If she is a phony profile maybe Thor will raise their magic hammer and quit spamming every email address on the internet. Let's practice what we preach to our candidates, what we preach to other recruiters about driving clients crazy with unsolicited phone calls and emails about that perfect candidate who doesn't fit anything they ever wanted or needed or asked for ever. Let's not say it's just an itty bitty mistake when a recruiter spams the populace at large. It's shoddy business practice, it irritates the living hell out of most people who get the spam just like it did Megan. The reason there are "no call lists " to block numbers for telemarketers is because of the abuse and intrusion of unwanted irritating calls. Maybe a few more Kathys and people will start blocking all emails that have the word recruiter in it. Trust me we are fast approaching a situation where this is going to be addressed, along with phony profiles on Facebook , LInkedin and every social network where recruiters are blasting the multitudes. Ticket to DumbAssIsland has been punched. All ashore who are going ashore. Dont think i will take that cruise. The First rule of sales is don't irritate the customer. …; Added by Sandra McCartt at 5:09pm on February 21, 2012

Topic: Beep-Beep-Beep, Back-Up Plan: bored, or dare I say? desperate. Working to close a deal can be exciting, hectic, hurried, and how we represent ourselves, our company, or our client can sometimes fall by the wayside. Caution and care must be taken that these desperate times do not permeate your business persona and wreck havoc where none need be. Do not sell anything that your client doesn't need to buy, like a bad candidate. Or like four bad candidates. There is a line in the tense movie, Glengarry Glen Ross - "What did I learn back on Western? You don't sell a guy one car..., You sell him five cars over fifteen years." Making a commitment to grow and develop your client base or candidate base doesn't mean growing a nice garden, plucking out the big blooms, using their beauty and then walking away from the garden. You must cultivate that garden to grow and produce, not just big blooms but small blooms, as well as, seeds for the future. Ponder on the long-term, not the short-term, get 'er done deal. The path is lined with those that are being plucked by everyone... A one-shot deal was great yesterday but what are you doing today? Your Hiring Manager is worried about the deal today, as well he should. You should worry about the deal tomorrow, thus motivating you to make the right decisions for today's deal. Desperation doesn't pay the water bill. Does desperation pay anything? Look beyond the desperation and recognize that a client or Hiring Manager is more than a big sale. And guess what? Clients still want face-to-face service, they still want to buy from an actual person. The internet is simply a tool to get the face-to-face. Merely average recruiters/salespeople/business professionals will be flushed out and have no place to run or hide. They probably already have been. So..., be the expert, be the source, be the "get 'er done guy" or just be the guy who honestly says, "I don't know but I know who to ask..." Are you convenient? Do you provide quality service? And can you deliver? If you nodded your head to these questions, then maybe you will survive the next six to twelve months. If not, well, do you have a back-up plan? by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 2:25am on July 17, 2009
