Comment on: Blog Post 'Hi HR/Corporate Recruiter! It's Me, the "Different Agency Recruiter"?': t that if you have a name, the switchboard patches them right through to me). I have a select group of agencies that we work with--and for good reason. Coming from being the person selling on the other end to the person being sold to, I've noticed several things that can be done better (at least from my angle): 1. Know the business that you are calling. One of the things that gets me off the phone quicker is when I'm told that you have experience recruiting in rural areas (or experience in Alaska in general). First, big damn state with a lot of variety. Just because you've recruited in the two to three metropolitan areas in our state, does not mean you will be successful where I'm at. Second, are you sure you have experience in area's like mine? You're based in Dallas, yet you're telling me you are an expert at recruiting to a place completely off a road system, gas is $7/gal, 2/3 of the town is not on running, piped water and you can only get here from the nearest city (400 miles away) by plane (oh, and not to mention the 8 months of winter and 50 below wind-chill). Please tell me your expertise in rural (Alaskan) recruitment. 2. Build the rapport. I second Dane's suggestion. Build the rapport. 3. For the love of God, STOP SELLING. Seriously a major turn-off when an agency is selling the entire time we're talking. We're customers: we like to buy, but hate to be sold. 4. Don't be shady. Seriously, disguising your voice to get past my gatekeeper? Next time, try disguising yourself as the same sex, rather than the opposite. 5. Learn the contracting process. I control your shi**...understand that. Ask what the typical process is like. 6. Don't assume you know the person on the other line. A lot of companies make the right move and bring agency recruiters into their employ. Don't assume I'm just another HR dude that doesn't know what you do or the game that you spit. 7. Just because you name drop the HM, or former management that you worked with like 7 years ago, does not automatically get you a pass. The HM said you should call me, huh? And they suggested we get a contract together? Hmm...if it was such a desire to use you, they'll reach out to me. I've slapped them down enough with the process, they know who holds the keys. And 7 years ago? Please... 8. Befriend HR. Seriously, if a company's HR department is worth a salt, this is money. "But daddy, why?" you ask. Well, because we will either be your advocate or not. Understand that HR should and has authority to shut-it-down. If you get on HR's good side, you are most likely in like Flynn. My two cents for what it's worth.…; Added by Seth Lidren at 11:45am on May 30, 2013

Topic: Climbing Idiots or The Right Stuff for Recruiting Challenges?: nd danger in that. My question is: Are there characteristics in individuals with daring do attitudes that translate well in a recruiter role? Upsides and downsides? The next-under pictures are challenges I'll pass on, but I am impressed with those who undertake such efforts and live to tell about them. Climbing Idiot Wind, San Rafael Swell, Utah Photograph by Tobias Macphee - and article featured in National Geographic "The rock feels a bit like fine-grained sandpaper," says Jesse Mease, seen here trad climbing 70 feet up the route Idiot Wind (5.11c) in Utah's sandstone San Rafael Swell. "Basically I was wedging and torquing my fingers into the crack and scumming my feet along the wall because they wouldn't fit—great fun." With ample pitches to climb and no camping regulations, fees, or rangers, the San Rafael Swell is one of the state's best kept secrets. "I still don't know how to get there—I was blindfolded during the drive in," notes Salt Lake City-based Mease. Getting the Shot “The Swell is an amazing place. You have huge sandstone walls that seemingly run forever in every direction," says photographer Tobias Macphee. "And unlike Yosemite or Indian Creek, you can go days without seeing another person." “Shooting climbing in the desert is always a challenge," notes Macphee. "In order to rig the ropes to shoot from, you also have to be able to climb the routes,” says Macphee. “For this shot I knew that I wanted to capture more of the open space around Jesse, so I climbed a different route off to the right. I wanted to shoot this route at sunset, so most of the day was spent waiting for that 15-minute window of perfect light. It all boils down to communication and team work,” says Macphee. http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/extreme-photo-of-the-week/#/jesse-mease-san-rafeal-swell-utah_48795_600x450.jpg I will say, however, that graduating to an even more thrilling and dangerous challenge posed by climbing a giant "icicle" is just plain crazy. Here "foolhardy" and imminent danger seem to be more pronounced--but that may just be me. Upsides and downsides as it relates to recruiting? Ice Climbing in Banks Lake, Washington Photograph by Ben Herndon, Tandem and article featured in National Geographic "I have been blessed with natural flexibility, but this route was still physically demanding!" says climber Craig Pope of crossing from an ice cave to a free-standing, 82-foot-tall icicle—without ropes or protection. An ice climber's paradise, Banks Lake has one of the highest concentrations of easily accessible ice in Washington. Pope, a longtime rock climber, got hooked on ice climbing three years ago. "I fell in love with the movement, environment, companionship, and danger," recalls Pope, who lives in Moscow, Idaho. "I began ice climbing every day. During the winter of 2009/2010, I climbed more than 400 pitches!" Getting the Shot "For this shot the real challenge was the constant dripping water from the icicles on the cave ceiling above. And there was the small possibility of Craig skewering me with his crampons," recalls photographer Ben Herndon. "I decided to move directly underneath Craig. The trick was to time the shot when he was looking down to find feet placement, so you end up with this sprawling profile on top of the intense eyes." http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/extreme-photo-of-the-week/#/banks-lake-central-washington_41870_600x450.jpg…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 4:55am on March 13, 2012
