I must admit that until I started using the search technique that I am about to describe, I did not realize that a significant number of LinkedIn members customize their…

Comment on: Topic 'Resumes in third person': trash them. Unless he thinks he can write his own reference about himself and think anybody would not think he was a bit strange we don't do third person resumes. If he argues about it, I tell him I am sorry I can't represent him. My take, they sound arrogant and obnoxious. I feel the same way about people who say "we" when they are the only person in the room and don't represent a group. Right up there with somebody who uses their name instead of "I". Sandra does not like that. :) It may be a coincidence but I have never seen a woman present a third person resume only men.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 8:16pm on May 23, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'Referral Strategies': suggested I reach out to you, she didn't know if the timing would be right, but said that you are so good at X, that you were someone I should talk to about this search." I've found that the combination of having a referral and a specific reason why that person was thought of tends to be received very well...even if the referred person is not interested, they are generally helpful in thinking of others.…; Added by pam claughton at 11:49am on September 3, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'He Said She Said- The Likability Factor': obvious lack of self-awareness some similar behavioral trait that not only turned me off, but would have been a problem for anyone else involved in the interview process. That said, I've also seen cases where someone's "likes" were completely unrelated to anything to do with a person's ability to perform the job. That's where the "I'd like to hang out and have beer with this person" type causes trouble. You aren't hiring a happy hour buddy, you're hiring a person to get stuff done at work. Likewise, some people have very superficial preferences when it comes to interview performance. I'd say for many HMs the more gregarious and extroverted types tend to convey a higher likability potential than a more conservative introverted person. Unfortunately, how a person behaves in an interview may not have any correlation at all to how they get their work done. Some people believe they have to show tons of enthusiasm and energy (fun person) and others feel that they need to remain calm and professional (dull person) during interviews. Neither is right or wrong, but it certainly could affect the outcome if the interviewer has a bias one way or the other. Not every person that interviews others has the ability to read between the lines and adapt their own style (if needed) to assess candidates on key criteria versus coolness factor. Good stuff, you two!!! ~KB @TalentTalks …; Added by Kelly Blokdijk at 10:46pm on July 23, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'The Sex Test for Recruiters': of sales ability. It doesn't mean that the sales person is a good person. It just means that he's probably a good sales person. Marty was proceeding from the assumption that most men want sex whenever they are free to have it and that these days most women are free to have sex to if they want it. But he also used the Jehovah's Witnesses as an example. They are obliged to be missionaries so Marty said that the person who brought in the most conversions would probably be the person you wanted to hire. Persuasion is the key not sex or religion. If you think that a young man who manages to score with a lot of young women is not persuasive to what would you attribute his success? Amy suggested that these girls were drunk which might be the case but it might not be as well and, even so, all things being equal why would one person be more successful than others? …; Added by Recruiting Animal at 12:31pm on April 11, 2013
