Comment on: Topic 'Metrics Schemtrics': anyone wants to share that with us. Diana Luger Jim Damico said:Metrics have a place, but they are not one size fits all (hence the decline in Morgan Method agencies). If you know your personal metrics, you may be able plan and communicate an effective and realistic search strategy to customers in a way that is superior to your competitors. They are a personal choice, whether you want to be the gut recruiter or not, however, I've never lost business to anyone that couldn't show metrics. …; Added by Diana Luger at 2:54pm on March 3, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'No paper resumes, Ppply on twitter w/minimum klot/kred score. Whaddya think?': experience, etc., it stands to reason that the person would be an influencer on some level, or at least know how the game is played. In fact, someone like that might already be making a living by blogging. So to me, it's a novel approach to recruit that way but it's got some plausible aspects to it. Re glass half full, I am definitely an early adopter myself on most things, and I consider myself a realistic optimist, so my worldview tends to focus on that which is possible, versus the negatives/barriers. So I'd have to say that shoe fits!…; Added by Christopher Perez at 3:01pm on February 20, 2013

Here is how.': applicant) or the candidate (when I am the hiring person. ) Hence, I am willing to give a reasonable range in either case because I want a realistic expectation established. I have my range and if it is too high then I want the interview to end. Likewise, I won't low ball a candidate because someone is willing to pay them what their worth. In the end it will be what it is so let's get that out in the open.

Comment on: Topic 'Salary question - when to answer it?': And of course - what are your pay expectations? As a corporate HR executive I would be very annoyed if a recruiter cannot provide me with a candidate's pay details, which means candidates should have some good answers: 1. Clear explanation of fixed pay, STI and LTI. 2. Provide a range of expected pay (never a specific number or vague response) This is also the advice I provide from a career coaching perspective. In today's market, it is important that candidates are realistic and are not excluding themselves from roles that are paid below their current level. Ultimately, it is a package of job responsibilities, title, reporting level and pay - which could be different for each candidate.…; Added by Charles Van Heerden at 5:07pm on December 7, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Celebrating a Segment of Your Attrition': ept unless you're a school or a training entity that, by design, launches students into a real job, a better job. Your selling point for newbie’s who want to join you is also your Achilles’ heel. Using the term “Alumni” suggests you’re a school, otherwise the more realistic term would be “former employees”. Doesn’t it occur to you that you’re also experiencing a brain drain when employees leave, particularly key employees? I can understand losing employees to sister divisions, but to lose them to competitors happens—but to crow about it is illogical and would make you a prime target for headhunters who live to find sources of good/great talent.…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 1:52am on October 26, 2011
