On "Recruiter, re-tool thyself"...

Quote for the Day: Friday, July 27th, 2007

"The solution is that we need to re-engineer the thinking of the recruiters. In my experience many of them believe they have to always be in control. This has had its' down side it alienates and infuriates candidates, it drags out the recruitment process which adds costs and it frustrates the company that is trying to fill a position. Why can't we make positive changes to this industry?"

Comment by Slouch on July 30, 2007 at 5:12pm: There are recruiters who would disagree

Comment by Amitai Givertz on July 30, 2007 at 5:27pm: Jason, if you check the original article I think it refers to corporate recruiters (as in function). Of course, there are always exceptions that prove the rule but generally speaking -- for corporate recruiters -- do you agree or disagree?

Comment by Slouch on July 30, 2007 at 5:51pm: Ami, it is tough to make offers and hope they get accepted.
