Comment on: Topic 'The Truth about Social Networking, Web 2.0 and Recruiting': or recruiting. I mean, it was still a super conference - I learned a ton. There was just no focus on much outside of research. So anyway, Danny Cahill gives the keynote . . . at which point he says something along the lines of: "Pretty soon, all of us are going to have access to all the names. Yep, pretty soon, most of the names and profiles are all going to be easily findable on the due to new technologies. And when this happens, Recruiting will once again return to its roots as a game of sales and, more importantly, persuasion." Since this was 2007 and many Sourcers at the time were pulling pretty impressive bill rates without focusing on candidate development, you could have heard a pin drop through the audience :) The conversations in the hallways mirrored more, "Who does this guy think he is talking about sales and persuasion?" more than, "Hey, this guy might have a point here." There's nothing wrong with that - it's just how the world works :) SM will evolve, and I think there will come a time when great Recruiters will make better use than we do today (I think of this as a move toward "dealing the drugs instead of taking them.") For example, 30 years from now, current Gen Y-ers and Millenials will be the candidates most Executive Recruiters are focusing on (I say that because most of my experienced candidates today are 35+). Because of the human race's innate desire to connect, I can't imagine what things will really be like tomorrow. (Jeez, just think 18 months ago - was anyone talking about Twitter?) So when the future does get here . . . and the time comes when we're all exponentially better connected than we are today (a scary thought!) . . . will it really matter (even a little bit) if you aren't adept at the skills of sales and persuasion as they relate to recruiting? Building rapport with candidates who are ready to leave their current employer will be just as easy . . . while building relationships with candidates not interested in making a move will be just as challenging.…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 4:24pm on January 20, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Should Unemployed Job Seekers be Ruled Out? Some Think So': This can result in the "superstar" either quitting, getting fired, doing the job but hating it or worse doing just enough to get by. Furthermore if someone is happy with their current role, in this economy, why would they leave their job? Studies have shown people are indeed unhappy and ready to bail. There are so many variables to this puzzle and one answer is not sufficient. In addition, if the real issue of not hiring “the unemployed” centers around a high volume of applicants, then the recruiting process may have to change. Many departments eliminated recruiters, causing more work flow to fall on less people. Obviously you can not expect the same quality of work to be performed by a fewer number of people but, you can make adjustments by working smart. When you’re dealing with high volume recruitment there are several components to consider: Location and type of position If the position is local and entry level the recruiter or hiring person can physically manage the flow: • For example, by appointment only, the recruiter can invite candidates into the facility, give them a tour of the building and address questions as well as provide information to the job seeker on the next steps. • You can integrate technology i.e. host a webinar talking about the role, requirements ect. In some cases you can add over 250 or more people on a webinar. You can even invite the hiring manager to speak in the webinar. • Another example, partner with resources to help you screen applicants such as colleges, alumni associations, career centers, professional associations, or employment agencies. These organizations are happy to do this. Those candidates who meet the qualification would go to the next step which would be a phone screen or interview with the recruiter. Sourcing strategy If you are getting a high volume of unqualified applicants from a particular source then • a) The source is not producing the quality of candidate you’re seeking so the obvious strategy here is to change sources- this is an example of how metrics can be used to track and drive results. • b) There may be issues with how the job ad is written • c) There may be issues with the instructions on next steps.…; Added by Heidi at 12:58pm on June 17, 2010
