Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': e challenge was that too many companies and sourcing leaders saw themselves as a standalone function and didn't see or pursue the greater value of an integrated relationship with recruiting. As the economy softened sourcing was hit first and hardest because companies saw more value from full-cycle recruiters. I still believe there is value in sourcing as a strategic component of a recruiting function. For both third-party and corporate sourcers/recruiters the biggest risk is something that John touches on - "community management skills and stop acting like an email address is a relationship or a list is a community" The element I would add to this, or highlight, is the absence of caring. If your only there for yourself when you need something your missing the true value and foundation of community. Recruiters too often operate on a "stalk and abandon" methodology. When they're working on an assignment the job seeker is THE most important person in the world and the sourcer or recruiter is relentless about reaching them. As soon as the person is no longer a fit for that role or reaches out when their personal situation changes the likelihood of getting a call back is slim to none. Before you get crazy I realize this is a broad sweeping generalization. But we all know it happens, that it happens too often and is happening even more today. Personally, I'd like to see something written in to SLAs that every candidate receives a response. The access to technology makes this possible - and I don't mean an automated response, get personal. So even if you are outstanding at getting back to people the reputation of the industry your in is being diluted. What can you do to make a difference and challenge others to be more caring. Ask yourself - would @jobangels be taking off with the momentum it has beneath its wings if people had a more positive experience with sourcers and recruiters? btw - I think what @jobangels is doing is fantastic and support it but wonder about the reason why. In the end, the greatest risk today may be the long-term memory of all the people (job seekers) who have been affected by the downturn. Being laid off is one thing but the sting from not hearing back or having people take your calls is another. Stories are shared over glasses of wine and one by one the value to the service is diluted. Do you think as these people go back to work they will be proponents of using a sourcing or recruiting service. Or, as is more likely the case, they will be bigger proponents of referrals and networking.…; Added by Susan Burns at 3:51pm on February 27, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'A job description isn't a sales tool and never will be.': Dave! No, my comment re Dave's comment was purely that the leaders of many of the global top 500 probably need to be replaced. Certainly, ive seen enough of the mess they have been making not only of their organisations but also the global economy. A mess driven, largely by their own greed and incentive packages only marginally larger then their ego's. We have spent the last 20 years supporting the myth that personal ambition/MBA/tough love etc is key to business success and its total crap - the global meltdown shows that. Ive worked for international businesses most of my life and also entrepreneurs and most, at the senior level, had people who were just out of touch and full of their own self importance. As yo mention call centres ill use that one as an example. At one point, many years ago, someone very senior thought it would be great to outsource call centre activity to say India. Andthey did, mainly on cost saving basis. And thye got a big pat on the back for it. And they got a big bonus, and promotion too probably. Then they went on to 'bigger dicks Inc' thanks to their track record at 'smaller dicks Inc'. Now, a the time of the original idea, someone less important, further down the foodchain of the organisation, with more personal credibility at stake with customers, probably said "i dont think thats going to be a good idea. It might impact on Customer service". If he was lucky, he got to keep his job after saying something so foolish. If not, he probably got the sack for not being 'committed'. Of course, 2 years later, he was proved right. But Bob CEO has moved on, probably with a bad memory of Mr middle manager. Ive seen it happen, ive sat round the board table, at most of the businesses ive been in and seen the idiots at work. Whatever, we have got it wrong. We need a cull. Trash the ego's. And the incentive packages that go with them. Now, where were we?? Oh yes, Job descriptionssszzzzzzz........…; Added by Gareth Jones at 1:21pm on March 18, 2010
