Search Results - standalone

Comment on: Topic 'How to Expand People Search Options for a Basic User': hange up this product. If they tiered that service in pricing AND integrated with internal systems, it would be a must have. Irina Shamaeva said:Yes, the recruiter account is a whole different beast. No connections or networking - you just see and are in touch with all 70 Mln members, period (my understanding). Costs thousands of dollars. Not affordable for anybody but giants. What is ROI? I don't know. Miles Jennings said:It's interesting but not very surprising that Linkedin is pulling back features from people using the service for free. My thinking is that any recruiter not willing to shell out the little membership fee per month can't be too serious about their business (if they are recruiting mid-senior level white collar professionals.) You just can't beat Linkedin and Linkedin knows it. ;) I can see them continuing to put greater restrictions on search and communications in the future. I'm more interested though in their real premium recruiter service and how they evolve that model as either a standalone web service or some kind of ATS-integrated data and communication service. Also interested to see how they change their pricing model to prep for their widely anticipated IPO. …; Added by Irina Shamaeva at 2:29pm on June 22, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': e challenge was that too many companies and sourcing leaders saw themselves as a standalone function and didn't see or pursue the greater value of an integrated relationship with recruiting. As the economy softened sourcing was hit first and hardest because companies saw more value from full-cycle recruiters. I still believe there is value in sourcing as a strategic component of a recruiting function. For both third-party and corporate sourcers/recruiters the biggest risk is something that John touches on - "community management skills and stop acting like an email address is a relationship or a list is a community" The element I would add to this, or highlight, is the absence of caring. If your only there for yourself when you need something your missing the true value and foundation of community. Recruiters too often operate on a "stalk and abandon" methodology. When they're working on an assignment the job seeker is THE most important person in the world and the sourcer or recruiter is relentless about reaching them. As soon as the person is no longer a fit for that role or reaches out when their personal situation changes the likelihood of getting a call back is slim to none. Before you get crazy I realize this is a broad sweeping generalization. But we all know it happens, that it happens too often and is happening even more today. Personally, I'd like to see something written in to SLAs that every candidate receives a response. The access to technology makes this possible - and I don't mean an automated response, get personal. So even if you are outstanding at getting back to people the reputation of the industry your in is being diluted. What can you do to make a difference and challenge others to be more caring. Ask yourself - would @jobangels be taking off with the momentum it has beneath its wings if people had a more positive experience with sourcers and recruiters? btw - I think what @jobangels is doing is fantastic and support it but wonder about the reason why. In the end, the greatest risk today may be the long-term memory of all the people (job seekers) who have been affected by the downturn. Being laid off is one thing but the sting from not hearing back or having people take your calls is another. Stories are shared over glasses of wine and one by one the value to the service is diluted. Do you think as these people go back to work they will be proponents of using a sourcing or recruiting service. Or, as is more likely the case, they will be bigger proponents of referrals and networking.…; Added by Susan Burns at 3:51pm on February 27, 2009
