Many people don’t know what to say to the sourced names we provide. Because these names are many times the truly “passive” candidate some recruiters who’ve been reared on resume farming are “reluctant” to call someone who isn’t actually “looking”.

Just about everyone is “looking”.

Out of 10 names you telephone source:

1-2 will be looking at… Continue

http://www.recruitingblogs.com/forum/topic/show?id=502551%3ATopic%3A136510

I was half expecting people to pounce on that thing. It happens. Internet events are 'spiky'. Of course, spiky includes quiet bits and it is unfortunate in this case. I have only one other time attempted to create a 'spike' in traffic… Continue

Recruiter’s Need Love Too.

I know some of you recruiters out there have worked in the different venues of recruiting, ie. corporate versus contingency or agency. Have you ever noticed the less than friendly attitude you normally get as a third party vendor when you are working the contingency side and call into the corporate recruiter or HR?

"Montaigne's practical, ethical response to injustice in an uncertain world is to ruse with the law."

Romantically, a spirit that comes to you on the stairs, as you leave a party, telling you what you should have said when… Continue
