<p>Nice - As an external I used a similier method, as an Internal I still could do with undertaking the check list as some of the managers I work with are as un-committed as any external client!</p>

Greg, good call on this ability to recognize a good instinct for great recruiters. Curious to know what your qualifications are for your job order process and what determines when to walk away from the client.

<p>Bill, we are experiencing similar roadblocks this side of the world..its a pervasive tentativeness, uncertainty and reluctance to make a decision. We are taking a reasonable number of orders. But my mantra to the troops is "are they real?". "If we put a qualified candidate in front of this client , will they make a decision to hire". Turns out the answer is often, "no"</p>

<p>Greg, instead of a streamlined process for effectiveness we get a full participatory process where everyone gets into the act. Instead of 3-4 key members interviewing, you have 7-10. Thus no one passes all 7-10 members, decisions are to "pass" on the candidate or not get made so "we're going to keep looking." </p>

<p>And they don't tell you the Janitor will be part of the decision making process at the outset, but "we included him cause he happened to be emptying the barrel at the time." Amorphous process, rudderless decision making process, difficult position, at best, to fill, and time keeps marching on........</p> Agreed Bill, I have never kno…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2012-03-06:502551:Comment:15254192012-03-06T15:10:20.719ZGreg Savagehttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/GregSavage
<p>Agreed Bill, I have never known a market where it is more difficult to get commitment from the client..and to be confident of follow through even after commitment is given</p>

<p>I've found in this market it's hard to make an assessment on whether or not to recruit for a position as one can't take to the bank what one's told. You think you have a hot fillable job to work on only to find out during the recruiting/hiring process you really don't. </p>

<p>I've found in this market it's hard to make an assessment on whether or not to recruit for a position as one can't take to the bank what one's told. You think you have a hot fillable job to work on only to find out during the recruiting/hiring process you really don't. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And it then becomes apparent you wasted valuable time. And this is irrespective of whoever you're dealing with in a company. The VP is 3 levels above the activity and no one below listens to the VP anymore in a matrix oriented environment. Director defers activity decisions to the manager. The manager defers decisions to his/her senior technical people. You don't and aren't given access to the senior technical people. And HR knows only what all of the above want them to know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So the streamlined process you established going through the checklist and qualifying that job you discover it isn't going according to agreement plan after a month, maybe two.</p>
