I welcome your feedback, and really appreciate it! The way you've worded the questions are probably more effective in that by keeping them open-ended, there's an opportunity for the candidate to provide more meaningful information rather than a yes or no as you say. Great stuff -- thanks so much.

<p>Overall I agree here. There is no reason to miss the fact that your candidate is in the middle of an offer process. The problem is - it is far easier (human nature) to simply say "NO" when asked questions that allow a simply yes or no for the answer. These are important topics - topics that require more than a one word answer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So if you don't mind - I'll offer a slight modification to the very important questions recruiters need to ask:</p>

<p>So if you don't mind - I'll offer a slight modification to the very important questions recruiters need to ask:</p>
<br/>
<p><strong>C</strong> - Has there been any <strong>changes</strong> in your job search since we last spoke? Where do you stand in the interview process?</p>
<p><strong>"WHAT has changed since we last spoke?"</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>O</strong> - Do you have any <strong>offers</strong> pending?</p>
<p><strong>"WHAT other offers are you considering?"</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>C</strong> - Do you have any <strong>concerns</strong> about this position? It is important for us to address any concerns now that you are interviewing so that we can get the best offer for you if it is extended.</p>
<p><strong>"What concerns do we still need to address before you can accept (or reject) an offer?"</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>A</strong> - If an offer was extended, would you <strong>accept</strong> the position?</p>
<p><strong>"If an offer is extended - what would prohibit you from accepting the offer?"</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please don't take this reply as a negative response on the subject. I'm with you - this stuff is important! These are the questions (and answers) that make or break our success. It's just that - for me - I find a way to make the big questions open ended. It is far easier for someone to simply agree with something that might not be accurate if all they have to do is say "yes" or "no" rather than create the misinformation themselves.</p>

<p>Yes - I'm a fanatic about some things. :)</p>
