Topic: HeadSpace: A recruiter is a recruiter is a recruiter!: Sandra McCartt, a true Texan, loves her horses. And who can blame her? They don't complain, they gladly carry her burdens, she's always getting smooches, and they love her back. Catching Sandra between work and play resulted in a great opportunity to ask her about another love, Recruiting. "I've been a local recruiter since Lincoln was a cadet." Right away, her point-blank humor sets one at ease and the pure devotion she feels for this industry is clearly visible. Once upon a time, in 1976, there was an employment agency that had the extreme good fortune of running into Sandra McCartt, who turned it on its ear and created success with willingness to work hard and be innovative. Not one to fear the unknown, "I didn't even know there was such a thing as a recruiter." She tells a great story of how she had an order for an accountant position with a big company. She identified a perfect candidate who would take the job if he didn't have to pay the fee. Sandra offered up a guarantee (unheard of then) that he would stay. "My boss was furious! 'If he falls out,' he told me, 'you're paying the fee.' He stayed, and I thought, I did it once, I can do it again." Sandra soon realized that the applicant-paid fee world just wasn't for her. "You know, this is just a little lower than insurance sales. There has got to be a better way to do this." That was thirty-two years ago. She started her own firm and within five years, paid off the bank note, "I have re-invented this job three times." She's seen many changes in the recruitment industry but doesn't count the latest or the downward economy as the most dramatic. "The biggest change was the fax machine - even more so than the computer. I know that sounds weird but time changed so much. Just getting initial information out was a five to nine day process before. When the fax came along, a company would call and just fax over details immediately. It was just grand, I could send over a resume immediately. It moved the turnaround time to as little as three days." The computer? a whole 'nother story. There were those that said, "It's an instrument of the devil" and others refused to step up and learn the new technology. Not Sandra, "We have to get into the 20th century. I watched so many colleagues fade into the background. They got left in the dust of technology." Just so you know, Sandra spent a weekend practicing boolean strings. "Knowledge is power." Her best advice for other recruiters: "It's the strong recruiters with the relationships built over the years that will last. It will be the scramblers that will fail. You have to know how to sell and understand really what recruiting is. A recruiter is a recruiter is a recruiter. Forget that you are a specialist in this or that and remember that you are, above all, a recruiter. Your specialty is that you are a recruiter. 'Get your job done and get it done cost-effectively'," keeping your ego in check is also necessary for continued success. Sandra says it with ease and a chuckle, "I got over my cheap self years ago." …; Added by Rayanne at 3:51am on March 26, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': e was one of the worst this last year.. Microsoft was top US-based recipient of H-1B visas in 2008- 1,037 Yet our longterm unemployment was record highs? --- they continue to push the lie of the UnEducated Employees here in America.. i say What? are you kidding me? compared to the Baby Boomers, (remember mom went to school to get the MRS degree) and gen y who have significantly more individuals going to school..see Self-Serving Lies Destroyed the American Dream "http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-roberts/self-serving-lies-destroyed-the-american-dream.html" http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-roberts/self-serving-lie... that with the h1-b visa abuse (and the l visa, and all the other employment short term visas) , and the degrading wages that was a problem for the past 7 years.. then perpetuate that with the fact that we have created an imbalance in our employment society with 80+ percent of boomers not being able to retire.. thus hurting the job pool further more..Well, seriously, why NOT discuss this? isn't it by turning the blind eye, and perpetuating the Myth and delusions that there had been a Fabulous "war for talent" and that the system was just Fine and Dandy, and there were plenty of jobs to go around, even when even in the past 4 years, our misery index was Through the roof..It is through the B.S lies of the Self serving individuals who had something to promote, or sell that we continued to hear and believe the resounding Crap that was thrown at us.. The louder they claimed how amazing they were, and as long as they surrounded themselves with others who help promote their wares, we continued to be inundated with the B.S.. and we accepted it as it was.. But at what cost? What did keeping our heads down, our ears closed, and remaining oblivious cost us? Ah, but some good news.. due to India and China Fatigue, more and more companies are coming back home, and bringing some jobs as well.. Some states are seeing unemployment as low as 3Percent.. and they still have low wages as well. North Dakota for example.. Also we are seeing a lot of insourcing happening to our country, where foreign companies are bringing their companies internally for our wonderfully trained talent.. hmm, wonder why the American companies haven't caught on to that yet.. as they continue to attempt to displace our american workers..The jobs Are coming back home, problem is, will the American Worker be obtaining them? Will We the recruiter in the U.S be the ones placing them?" I agree with some of what you said. New jobs are being created and the "old" jobs are being re-created, overseas and not here. The Software Developer positions ceased being created here in vast numbers and instead many were created overseas in Bangalore and Hyderabad India for between 20-25% cost of an American. In China it's 10% of an American, but fewer people in China speak English than India. The aftermath of the 2001 Recession ending November, 2001 was a massive acceleration of corporate offshore outsourcing by mid 2002 started by the bleeding edge technology market mover companies and filtering down to everyone else. It began as a way for companies to economically survive tough times. It worked so well it became a new business paradigm staple causing newly created jobs to be overseas--not in the US. This is what I saw first hand in I/T. You are dead on correct with your synopsis on what we were sold. Big Business claimed we had a shortage of technically qualified people using that as a ruse to increase H-1B caps as well as violate the spirit of the L-1 Intercompany Transfer Laws all of which was to gain access to cheap labor. I could explain how this is done but I'd rather not. They lied to the government. The government (Bush Administration and GOP Congressional majority) either were duped into the lie or wanted to reward their business constituents with cheaper labor for increased profits for their continued campaign support. Bottom line, we had a 750,000 techie shortage in 2000.......and a 2 million techie surplus by 2003. No one can honestly say we didn't have enough qualified educated workers here. However, with all the outsourcing colleges' schools of Computer Science have seen enrollments drop by upwards of 60%. MIT had 500 graduates in their school of Computer Science in 2000. In 2004 it was 200. Bryant College in RI had 200 Computer Science graduates in 2000. It was 19 in 2006. So it's really a self-fulfilling prophecy. Business says there aren't enough qualified people. The President and Congress agree. They raise the H-1B caps and don't enforce employment laws for them to be hired, turn a blind eye to corporate L-1 abuse, and encourage offshore outsourcing through the tax code/policies. And in the end we have fewer jobs here in the US because we have fewer Computer Science and Engineering graduates, as why major in those areas if all you see is a shrinking employment market?

Comment on: Topic 'Commission only recruiters?': world-class recruiters offering high value-add services difficult to eliminate, automate, or outsource. Most of the folks being discussed here as employees or contractors won’t factor in, because while some may be quite good, they probably won’t be quite good enough to compete in this new market. Cheers, Keith “What makes YOU so special?” Halperin keithsrj@sbcglobal.net KarenM / Hirecentrix.com said:JimI respect your comments but I also disagree. These rules don't stink, and there are many companies, including recruiting companies that have grown extensively by hiring individuals the correct way!What made this country fail is Greed and Fraud.. when you screw the employees over, and cheapen labor, then there is no one left to buy the product that you have to sell.. It is Reaganomics in Reverse.. That is what happened in America.. -- IT is THIS fraud and Abuse THAT GOT us into this recession in the first placeYou can't keep Feeding the Top of the Tree, ignore the base and the Roots, and expect the tree to survive.. 98 Percent of the Population are the Roots and base of the treeFor the past 8 years, our misery index Rose to abnormal highs, whilst were were lied to about how great the economy was.. We saw more and more Americans have their jobs displaced by foreign labor, - Cheap foreign labor..Did the product get cheaper in Cost? No, but it got cheaply made, and guess what, with the jobs lost, there became less and less consumer buying power..The CEO's got richer.. and We see that 98 Percent of America's wealth was controlled by 2 percent of the Population.. These people by the way don't buy the Mass produced product that Most companies manufacture, produce or service..So who was left to buy the Mass product? You? me? the average Joe who didn't have a job anymore? or the individuals in his neighbourhood who depended on his dollar..It was the individuals who perpetuated the fraud and said, He employee, we don't care about You, and what You bring to the table.. we only care about making sure that My OffShore Account gets' bigger.. and who cares if I lose my job, or the company get's bankrupt.. shoot my pocket is full.Jim, in American the Small Business is the Largest Employer.. and yes, there are many who grow effectively, and prosperously, w/o having to worry about the IRS or FSLA .They don't worry about the IRS or FSLA, because they don't try to Cheat their Employees, and they don't try to screw the system.. which in the longrun, creates Extremely anti competitive and Unfair business practices..AND I AM a small business owner -- actually I own 2 today.. and Hopefully will be employing employees with our growth.. Retention I believe will not be a problem, because I plan to pay fairly and competitively..Wow, thanks for letting me get this off my chest..and No, I don't think that these Rules SUCK -- because I have been an Employee, like most of the World, and I know what it is liked to be abused and screwed over by employers.. where your hard work is taken advantage of, not recognized, and definitely not reimbursed as it should be or as promised..karenJim Durbin said:This discussion is one of the reasons it's going to be so hard to pull ourselves out of recession.You'd have to be a bloody fool to hire employees if the IRS and DOL start really cracking down on businesses. These rules supposedly help employees, but what they really do is make sure that only large companies with money to pay for employment attorneys ever do the hiring. In countries that make it hard to hire, unemployment is endemic (France and Germany), or underground (Italy). The pain of getting rid of a bad worker is so high, companies are reluctant to hire, which leads to 10% unemployment and (50% for people under the age of 25).Most recruiters are small businesses, but as is very clear, you can lose your business if you hire someone. You take all the risk, and the employee gets "taken care of" by the nanny state government, which is really just bureaucrats without the ability to run businesses themselves.Take a look at how many staffing firm owners layed off all of their employees, cover their own reqs, and now make as much net profit as they did with a lot less stress. Ask them if it's worth it to hire someone, train them, and hope it works out. Especially with taxes clearing needing to go up to 50% on high earners to cover our debt, more strict rules, less overall business, and so much paperwork that you don't get to actually do your job.Karen, you might be right about the rules, but the rules stink.Again I say - Who is John Galt? …; Added by Keith Halperin at 5:27pm on February 21, 2009
