Stephen Nehez - Successful 3rd Party Recruiter

I had a great show today. Because I had a great guest. Steve Nehez sent me a detailed list of things he wanted to talk about that laid out the plan for the whole show. I added questions but I didn't even get to most of his suggestions.

Not everyone thought it was a great show. Steve has made some frank (disparaging) remarks about internal recruiters (cubicle jockeys) and the regulars who work internally were out to get him.

A number of people who were commenting on Twitter didn't like his approach either. They said it depends on picking the low-hanging fruit in industries that have jobs for which there are lots of potential candidates.

They also said that his email blasts are spam. I don't think so. And to my surprise, Jerry and I finally agreed on something.

The only problem with the show was that there was so much extended arguing that Steve didn't have a chance to say everything he wanted to. People felt so passionate about the topics raised that they stated their objections and then felt a need to state them again and again and again.

In my opinion, though, this was one of my top shows.

Comment by Amy Ala Miller on May 23, 2013 at 2:02pm: Awesome. I just laughed out loud on a conference call. :)

Jerry, should that day arrive (watch me not take the "Real" recruiting bait) you would be the first person I would call!

Comment by Barbara Goldman on May 30, 2013 at 1:26pm: I thought it was an interesting show. I'm all about results. 2 to 3 placements per month per recruiter is 8 to 12 placements = 2 - 4M? 500K per desk on the low side? In four years? Maybe I need to learn a thing or two. Good show.
