Search Results - pretty boring

Comment on: Topic 'I'm Begging For Help': don't like me much. If I sold them a Horse or bought a horse from them or trained their horse, they think I'm a pretty nifty horse trainer. If I placed them I'm a great recruiter, if I didn't I may be a nice person but not much of a recruiter. If told them they didn't fit a job they thought they fit, I'm probably a dumb bitch. If they are a client, I sent them good candidates, didn't bore them to death or try to shove a candidate down their throat, I'm a good recruiter. They call me back. If I don't produce good candidates three times in a row it doesn't make a damn what my name is or how long I have been in business, next time they call some other recruiter. If I want a video, blockbusters is still open and it's closer than others I'll drop by. Do I care what anybody else has to say about borders or ms. Swift. Not much. It's my opinion that people find something they like, places they like to go or do business with and it doesn't make much difference what somebody else has to say about it. Fortunately or unfortunately 99% of the recruiters in the world are not and never will be known outside of the small circle of people they work with. The term "brand Name" normally refers to a nationally know entity in an industry. Most of us are not so referring to ourselves as a "brand" sounds both silly and narcissistic to me. All that being said consider that most of us can't remember who was on animal's show last year by name even if we thought they were a total duck or a super star. We remember them as the guy or gal who said x or y. My take none of us are that important so getting all twisted up about ruining your so called brand in an hour on a talk show proves you didn't have one in the first place or there isn't such a thing. Nuff said.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 5:42pm on January 13, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'Death Knell of Hiring As we Know It': !!! Heresy you say, impossible says another, he is out of touch says a third or worse is merely self promoting - UGH! Well, you should know that I do float, but I also have been on the side of finding very small needles in huge piles of hay for many years - and right up to the present...but I listen to my clients and constantly try to uncover ways to make more than a $40K fee 2-3 times a month - not to earn more cash, that's the simple part, its to become more relevant and bring a bigger value to the industry... You would have to have your head buried in the sand to not realize the massive shift that is going on in the candidate marketplace, pushed along by large entities (Linked In, etc.) and dozens of small ones (Vizibility, Brand Yourself, Brazen Careerist, etc.). Personally, I got bored with tracking down the needles and wanted to do more, make a bigger splash - and at the same time do my part to help ensure a future for my children and grand children...lofty goals - sure...but to understand how to better achieve this - spent the better part of the last two years in research and ideation activity to be able to Make a Difference... Alasdair, don't take things so literally, resumes (like oil use) will be around for decades more (never said they wouldn't), but as the Social Web takes over more and more of everyday life, it will certainly lose its relevancy...ask yourself, would you want a rehashing of someone's past work experience, or a vibrant understanding of their motivations, interests, attitudes and functional capability - all in the same amount of time that it would take you to review a few resumes...we all won’t be using resumes my recruiting friends - it will be online Profiles - and Linked In, Monster and Dice (watch this video: http://ht.ly/2o6oI) and the rest are already scrambling to add dynamic capabilities for people to breathe life into their staid old profiles/resumes. Finally, Pam and Sandra, you may think I’ve got some pretty terrific psychedelics, but my intent of the Blog was to get people (just like you folks) to begin thinking about the concept of Dynamic Professional Branding, so they can make use of them – not to advance any personalize agenda as you suggest (it’s a pretty big leap to Talent Communities from the ideas in my post…keep in mind as you try to find those needles that there is a huge world out there with 17+ million (new BLS stats) under employed workers in the US, and the other millions that hadn't left their current job for fear - yet are dying to due to some professional frustration are also now joining the active job seeker ranks (could be the largest turnover in history...) - and you DO have dozens of on-target applicants for MOST openings. Before dismissing me like an, “empty headed animal food trough wiper,” do some research, survey 100's of companies (as we have) and remember that there is a big world out there...oh yeah, and have a cup of coffee on me!…; Added by K.C. at 12:25pm on August 11, 2010
