Comment on: Blog Post 'We need a button on here....': om vendors that do also put out good information about what is going on and those are more of what we allow. We do get a lot of (direct email) feedback about this topic. We have a plan in the works that will hopefully assist us with this. The real question is when is a blog a blog? I know which ones I like to read, but not what everyone likes to read. PS this is Noel…; Added by RecruitingBlogs at 6:47pm on September 10, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'Is the recruitment database dead...?': nly, and for the record, I do see a role for technology. Having spent a number of years in CRM technology and strategy I'm more convinced than ever that candidates should be treated like customers. And to achieve that you need good technology. Would I recommend that client companies ditch their customer marketing systems? Of course not. In high volume businesses especially, you will find that behind the great customer experience is a really smart crm set up. But, somewhere, for some reason, it all went wrong for recruitment. We thought it wasn't worth investing the money and so recruitment business processes and the software solutions that have emerged over the years to support them are woefully lacking compared to other enterprise level CRM type solutions. Take vodafone, first direct or any other similar business and whether I'm an existing customer, a potential one or just some jocky who wants to shoot the breeze, I can contact vodafone and get a response. And that response is likely to be human, it will be recorded, tracked, assessed and acted upon. Oh, and followed up too. Not so in recruitment. Regards linkedin I was referring to the fact that essentially they ARE the database. And when you look at the app tracking and crm type features they are building into the recruiter tools they sell, you have to question the sales pitch and the positioning of the existing recruitment solutions. The fact is that there are recruiters who are using linkedin as their database and ats, and their success along with the experience they are giving the candidate is as good as any other recruiter out there who is sitting on a big, fat and largely out of date, database or ats of their own. Not a solution for everybody of course, but the development is fascinating! Some interesting comments here particularly regarding unnecessary bells and whistles, poor input and output of data (Crap in, crap out as we used to call it!), poor execution and overall use of the system and, yes, some poor recruiters too. But I blame the leaders of the recruitment businesses for that. I also think that clients have the recruitment service they deserve in some ways. I say that because they tolerate poor practice in the industry. In some cases, with poorly devised and managed PSL's they actually encourage it. And for even some large organisations, resourcing is not strategic enough for them to demand a much higher quality supply chain.…; Added by Gareth Jones at 2:24pm on March 12, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Has Facebook Accidentally Revolutionised Recruitment with its Latest Change?': this tune a lot, lately, but my response rates over the past calendar year (since January 1, 2015) remain at 30.5%... If I trace it back to January 1, 2014, my response rate is at 27% ... so it has gone up, slightly, although I am currently sending less Inmail than before (about 3x less, and haven't sent any for the past month). I am wondering why I seem to be one of the few recruiters who has found Inmail to still be functional for me. On the other hand, in my last search (to fill three positions), I recruited 200 resumes, and only 2 of the 10 final candidates were from LinkedIn, the rest being from my own network and research. Thanks for sharing this information!…; Added by Nicholas Meyler at 5:05pm on October 29, 2015
