Comment on: Blog Post 'A Sinister Cloud On The Horizon For The Recruiting Industry...': plier". Recruiters are and always have been brokers. Aggregate and collective sights such as Bounty and the like are simply trying to slice a percentage of your brokerage fee, something which is rather inconsequential to the principals involved in this supply and demand equation (employers and employees). To suppose that Recruiters can or should gain control of this supply chain is, in my opinion, pure folly.…; Added by Frank Zupan at 11:20am on June 13, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post '5 Recruitment Career Killers…': ch them to the right roles.

Comment on: Topic 'Question of the day: When do you walk away from a contingency search?': ervices. The ones who decide not to seemed to be the ones that were probably least likely to yield a positive result - for the type of reasons above.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Ask and You Shall Receive': recruiters take the time to ask all the questions of the right people and question the answers. Most recruiters start the conversation with a prospective client by saying that they can solve the problem without first knowing what the problem is. And then they wonder why they had so many problems trying to fill the position. Great post Carmen.…; Added by Daniel F Ridge at 10:36am on October 12, 2012

Comment on: Topic 'Be Alert For Prospects Kicking Tires - Recruiting 101': ecruiter, it's ok to bluntly ask them " why this or why that"...active candidates are always so eager to share..but...if the recruiter is the one initiating contact, it's better to draw them out with questions designed to paint a picture of their ideal opportunity..if they feel you're all about them, they'll drop their guard and you'll know the "why" soon enough. the first call isn't the time to issue edicts, IMHO..HOWEVER, When I call the candidate back with a lead on an opportunity that fits his wish list, I give them the standard speech - I tell them that I have brought them what they said they wanted.. and then I ask, are you serious about going forward, because If you guys like each other, I expect you to pursue this, and i've been known to recommend my candidates not be considered any longer if they turn into uncooperative moonbats...is there anything stopping you from working this way ? right then and there, I either get the green light and enthusiasm, or we stop dead in our tracks for whatever reason. . My view is, the blunt questions come out when we have a real opportunity to discuss..if i'm just talking hypotheticals with a prospective candidate, I'm certainly not going to judge the guy on how he responds to a person ( me) that he doesn't know, demanding he be serious about a client I don't yet have. BTW, I liked Pete Lefkowitz, and learned a lot from his materials..I just think there's a time and place for everything.…; Added by Thomas Patrick Chuna at 12:26am on July 15, 2009
