Topic: Give and give again...: party even though I am afraid. (Think Scarlett O'Hara) This is a scary time..., good thing I have several red dresses. I am a new day rising I'm a brand new sky To hang the stars upon tonight I am a little divided Do I stay or run away And leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again ~Foo Fighters…; Added by Rayanne at 3:36pm on December 5, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Thoughts on Bounty Jobs?': e know). Will gather some thoughts and post tomorrow (getting late now). The suggestions will be simple. Much of the feedback in this string was posted late 2008/early 2009 when the rapid growth of the marketplace caused problems with the experience. Too many HH's chasing overwhelmed employers. In the last 6 months, we did some cool stuff around technology that does smart matching of jobs with HH's and service teams that coach employers on how HH's want and deserve to be treated (responsiveness). We've been quiet about how we talk about this with HH's - but I can share some thoughts based on those we've coached. ...and we'd love to get you back :) Mike…; Added by Mike Hard at 6:47pm on February 24, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'The Real Reasons Why Corporate Recruiters Hate You': but my personality is truly that of a 'consultative' sell. I realize that we are not a good fit for everyone, and if I don't know who you are, what makes you (your company) tick and what you are looking for, how can I possibly help you out?! Maybe that's why I don't slam-bam candidates, but instead, have a thorough recruiting and submittal process. I would rather help solve a problem for you, then to BE the problem. Good luck to you, Amy, I'm waiting to hear the blast from the other point of view!! Why are they all so quiet now? :)…; Added by Linda Ferrante at 9:43am on January 17, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'Are these the two dumbest recruitment executives in history?': fools of themselves, I might offer a quiet mentoring word, but these guys are senior executives and are beyond redemption. Any approach to their seniors will be seen as sour grapes and "interfering". They need to get their own house in order, I feel. On the other hand I have certainly evaluated some of the data regarding their business that they so freely shared, and compared it with my own business result. Its helpful to calibrate and its all fuel for the competitive fire. Mostly though the interlude provided me wonderful entertainment during a tedious 24 hour trip and left me feeling confident that despite a very tough 12 months, we seem to have a better idea about running a business than most! Cheered me up no end actually!…; Added by Greg Savage at 6:58pm on September 28, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Wednesday Wisdom: Post-Hire Negotiator': volved. We've all had candidates who simply didn't want to show their cards, meaning discuss the real motivators for seeking a new job; it's the quiet ones you have to worry about in life, right? And I'm pretty sure we've also had our share of Hiring Managers on a management-skills learning curve: oh yes, they have the best of intentions in terms of management style, but when the rubber hits the road they only know how to do, and not how to manage others in the doing. Either one of these is a workable situation, but a more experienced recruiter will have a few more tricks up the sleeve to salvage the deal. And Maureen - thanks for the direction to ERE, it was also a great (and applicable) discussion!…; Added by Claudia Faust at 11:01am on October 14, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'If every company has an internal recruitment team, how will consultancies play…': it might make sense to call in some extra support. Conversely, we might hire a contract recruiter to come work in house for 3-6 months, so maybe you better watch out for contract recruiters 2. Specialty searches. If I'm working on a completely one-off req with highly specialized requirements, it might make sense to turn over to a TPR who already has a deep network in that area. 3. Confidential searches. If we're replacing someone who doesn't know it, or for some other reason need to keep the search quiet, it might make sense to call in a professional firm. So pray tell, what superior skills should TPRs possess over their corporate brethren?…; Added by Amy Ala Miller at 10:00am on July 23, 2013
