Comment on: Blog Post 'Active & Passive Candidates - What Are They?': labels really only suit those who use the labels to sell their particular style of recruiting or other sourcing. If you somehow dig up the name of a guy in the back room working away at your client's competitor - you may very well want to give them the "passive" label. Good for you. But what if he gave his resume to his cousin a month previously as his cousin heard of a job on his team and thought he may get a referral bonus for connecting the two? What label do we use then? Where do we draw the line? Well - for me it's all a bunch of recruiterspeak. Absolutely irrelevent. Want to know how I sort them out? Qualfied and Unqualified. Then out of the qualified there are 2 main categories: Interested and Not Interested. Where/how/when/why/who else knows about them/where might their resume be found - all those categories really don't concern me. Qualified/Interested Qualified/Not Interested Not Qualified/Interested Not Qualified/Not Interested I'm paid to sort out the above.

Comment on: Blog Post 'When In Doubt...Just be Yourself!!!': , heck: new anything; or for that matter anything which would put you "off your game" (in the form of mental stress) means you have brought something to the workplace which for a time should be unnecessary. Flip-side: taking work or staffing issues home or fiscal stress from the office means you are bringing home something not needed during off-hours. I guess the point I am trying to make is that everyone is guilty to a degree of not having complete focus at a given point in time, thus creating the proverbial mole-hill from an ant-hill. We should be comfortable enough in our skin that we can function to the top of our game when needed (especially those paid well to do so) and yet not worry about skeletons in the closet. Peace of mind comes when the home/work/life dynamic is in sync and all facades are equal (you don't put on an image for a special occasion). After many years in the retail/sales sector I can say with all honesty that the overnight sensations don't last because of what they wear or the car they drive; they last because they worked hard, paid attention to someone who was currently where they needed to be, and soaked up all the knowledge they could about it; and left the home life at home. It is hard to separate the two, but necessary for sanity sake if you cannot be just one person. I hope this makes some sense; I have a feeling I lost my point somewhere near the beginning.

Blog Post: A Radical Reductionist Analysis of the "Purple Squirrel" Idiom

Really? "Purple Squirrel"?

Is that the best you can come up with to describe an 'unfindable' candidate?
