Comment on: Topic 'Should recruiters outsource the interview prep to other professionals?': ment what the recruiter would be doing themselves feels to me like a time management issue more so than a potential ethical one, although as Teresa's comment points out, there certainly is an ethical line that could be crossed. Anyone who has ever interviewed for a position certainly knows that preparation on any number of levels is absolutely critical, and most people that I know would likely welcome any help they could get in going through that preparation. On the other hand, what worries me more than a little is that with the ease of research and the tools and resources available to prepare a candidate that what the client sees during the interview is not necessarily what they get when they hire. Said differently I often wonder if the track record of "stick rates" that some companies have might be caused by candidates who are have simply become super role players as opposed to revealing the behaviors that will really surface when crunch time comes. All that said, I guess I would come down on the side of not having an outside resource (other than what a candidate might be doing on his/her own anyway) coach the candidate. If the recruiter is as close to the client as one would expect, it seems to me that they would be in the better position to get the candidate ready than a third party.…; Added by Dave Opton to BillVick.com at 5:14pm on July 28, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Should recruiters outsource the interview prep to other professionals?': absolute must that you give them enough preparation to be able to get past the interviewers style and personal bias and into the specifics of why they are the best person for the job. I would consider it very unprofessional to let someone go in and potentially be blindsided by a lack of knowledge. However there is merit in letting the candidate stand on their own two feet and get the role from their own efforts so I give everyone the same information pack and advice and that way it is a level playing field. Would I pay an external expert to do this? Perhaps for the right level of role say a Regional Manager / VP or above but even then I would like to think (perhaps in a degree of self aggrandizement) that I have the ability to know what the interview engagement will be like and how to best steer them through the potential pitfalls. It was interesting to read of the person who found the old manual and reworked it and subsequently published around this as I was trained by an "old school" manager who believed that you should be meticulous in the preparation phase and try not to leave it to chance. It was a good question and one that I think deserves further consideration as to where I could possibly implement such a solution for the benefit of my business results.…; Added by Michael Delaney to BillVick.com at 1:15am on July 29, 2008

Topic: OH GOD, MILDRED, THE "BUY BACK" IS BACK!: orld i haven't had one for over a year and had thus been guilty of the cardinal sin of forgetting one of the first rules of recruiting. Always cover the potential buy back before the offer!! Always! Uh, nope i didn't do it. Rocked right on being my super star self, found the purple squirrel, sold it like a champ, got the offer on the table after 5 interviews in two cities and was happily patting myself on the back about what a cool, smooth ,studette i had turned out to be this week. In the process of telling my pals "that's the way you do this stuff" POW! An email bomb hit my inbox. "My current company is going to match the offer, what do i do?" Rayanne doesn't appreciate four, five and ten letter ugly words so i won't quote my expletive. When the laughter in my office died down as the rest of the crew bailed for the weekend i heard them exclaim as they drove out of site..."Go get em' Ms. Wonderful, show us how it's done, and have a good night." It having been over a year since i have had one of these it took a few minutes for me to collect my thoughts to make the call. It's after 5:00 in my cottonwood tree 2 miles west of Jackass Flats, USA America. The good news is the SVP with my client just called to tell me that my candidate had just formally accepted. Admittedly my eleventh hour save was not the best call i have ever made regarding a buy back because my prior prep had not been done. I think it's a good sign for the overall economy that the "buy back" is back but trust me Mildred, it was a wake up call for me that it's getting ready to be show time again and i better be back in the game with prior and proper preparation to prevent this kind of piss poor performance from happening again. How soon we forget and how quickly we remember..don't leave out the first things you ever learned about recruiting.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 6:33pm on February 19, 2010
