Comment on: Blog Post 'What If ?': to keywords on a written job order is one of the most inefficient ways to make a placement. Without a (short is OK) conversation with the client you'll be left with recruiters playing a guessing game.…; Added by Jerry Albright at 8:43am on February 17, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Why Men Earn More than Women': son, there are other factors that are more subtle that could pose salary discrepancies. What about soft skills, communication ability and rapport with the hiring authority. People who they like, who they can work with side-side daily...not necessarily the best fit for the role. All roles are hired on 40% technical skill set match, 60% soft cultural fit match. There is a great deal of ambiguity in that. You could be the best fit, nice man/woman and get paid less than someone else since the manager enjoyed their interview with that person better. Compensation has a great deal to do with the subjective human nature of the person in charge. Unfortunately there is no formula for mastering that!!…; Added by Jason Monastra at 4:41pm on April 1, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'What hiring managers & recruiters miss': comments above remind us that this is indeed a business game, one in which the gambles, bluffs, and strategies are often hidden to gain a winning advantage of some sort or to offer severe protections to the paying side (clients). I agree with the comments that suggest that while the practice you described above may not be the most artful way to recruit, there are often hidden sub-games being played that rely solely on a scientific method for filling a position. In those cases, candidates are indeed reduced to a 2-D image match. But that is just part of the larger hiring game being played today. Are recruiters successful because they know exactly what game is being played plus how to win that specific game? or Are recruiters successful when no matter the game, they are governed by a robust humanitarian of principles? Pondering???…; Added by Karen Lynn at 2:06pm on January 13, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Acknowledging the Elephant in the Room': uarantee that the (guessed) keywords really appear in any job posting in the database. 2) Any keyword search stalls after entering a handful of words. The job board either does not give you anything back or you get some junk back (i.e. when you enter the "and" as keyword on Monster, Monster will show you jobs that contain the "and" in the job posting). 3) A typical job posting has 20 to 50 requirements. If every requirement is just a word (it is typically more) and a job seeker has to match at least half of the requirements to find a useful posting for him/her then the job seeker has to guess at minimum 10 correct words. Now, when you play the lottery you guess 6 numbers out of 49. In this game you have the luxury that you know the 6 guessed numbers are actually in the pool. With the keyword search you don't have that luxury. You have to guess 10 words out of thousands and you don't even know whether you guessed words exists in any of the job postings. Bottom line is that job search on job boards with keywords is just lottery. Job seekers cannot guess 10 correct words out of thousands. It's impossible! They cannot find any close matches to their skills and education. On top of that they are under pressure. They feel the whole process is gamble and they know if you want to win the lottery you have to play alot. That's where the recruiters get hit. They see the floods coming in but cannot sort it out. There in no feedback to job seekers. Result: Everybody complains. What needs to happen is to stop the lottery approach and allow job seekers to know what requirements are in the database of job postings BEFORE they start searching. This list of requirements is the master index that job seekers go through once and store as a profile. All requirements in new jobs that come in are matched to the job seekers who have a stored profile. Job seekers simply review their best matches and apply. There will be fewer job applications but more quality.…; Added by Henning Seip at 2:44pm on April 12, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'recruiting is a lonely game, not a team sport.': team. Everyone has a role to play but they depend on each other. The sales oriented recruiters bring in the business, the sourcers scour the web to find the talent, the candidate focused recruiters interview,match and coordinate the activity to move to a successful close. Together Each Achieves More. All of nothing is always nothing and half of something is better...…; Added by Craig Silverman at 4:18pm on December 8, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Recruiters Get Featured on LinkedIn: What Should Job Seekers Do To "Woo" You?': even if there's mutual attraction - but if they're interested in you, they'll do whatever it takes to go all the way with you. But when both sides play hard to get as an integral part of their strategy, finding the right match can be a huge challenge. Best advice? Go Dutch and make sure it's clear what both sides are bringing to the relationship. You can always engage and break it off later if you're just not that into the job, or vice versa. …; Added by Matt Charney at 8:09am on February 5, 2014

Comment on: Blog Post 'Death Knell of Hiring As we Know It': ace the other 45 and retire. Passion without qualification and experience is called delusion. If the delusional pass Pam and by, we are good with that. I think what you are talking about here can be compared with fraternity rush parties to see who has the best bullshit to get pledged. A resume is just a ticket to the play. Don't think the metropolitan opera will let someone in just because they are passionate about music. Buy a ticket - Get a good resume.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 10:16pm on August 10, 2010
