I have been up for hrs thinking about where to find my next candidate. It did not take long but the most important tool I have is the phone. I hear recruiters ask all the time what is the best tool for this.

That is what they are tools.. But nothing beats the power of talking live to a candidate. You can hear their voice, you can hear if they are focused or do they have 5 dogs in the back barking out of control.

So pick up the phone and call call…

I use to work for a firm in VA. We had training from 8am to 830 eavery day. Then we got on the phone and called from 830 to Noon Candidates we wanted to talk to.

We were then allowed to check and return messages. Eat lunch and then from 1230 to 4pm we would get back on the phones for more power calling.

At 4pm we had to plan our next day and write out all the people we needed to call tomorrow. I did make alot of placements doing that. When I have trouble makeing…

Why do active candidates have email address like partygirl@aol.com.

I dod not understand why college students do that. Can you tell me why.

There are good job boards out there.

The 2 I use the most are Monster and DICE.

What do you use?
