"Hi John-

I can't pass this one up! You'll chuckle but I'm sincere...learn to sell something to someone that they don't want, don't need, can't afford, and would never use! The following was…"
Al Merrill replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Is a recruiting reality show a good thing or a bad thing for recruiters?'"Tim, on Jerry's point, I'm not sure most people successfully can explain or understand the nuances of the executive search/recruitment business. I had the feeling Wendy was somewhat caught up in the sound of her own voice, experience,…"

First of all, stop worrying about the knowledge front, and stop hiring MBA's! Get strong sales people who will make the calls directly into the banks and recruit the candidates off their desks. I did this when I had…"

Al Merrill commented on Jason Monastra's blog post 'Why People Leave their jobs - #1 Reason!'"Jason- I don't question your experience or findings, per se. As a headhunter who has a very specific target, I simple don't hear it. The people doing pipeline/volume recruiting that I don't do, I'm sure see more of this."
Al Merrill commented on Jason Monastra's blog post 'Why People Leave their jobs - #1 Reason!'"Jason- I only work with candidates who are NOT active in the marketplace. I recruit happily employed people at their desks, who didn't wake up today to be enticed away from where they're at currently. I don't recruit…"

Al Merrill commented on Jason Monastra's blog post 'Why People Leave their jobs - #1 Reason!'"I'm not sure I'd agree with it being the #1 reason. We've probably all at times worked in a role which we saw as limiting in scope and upward mobility, or had a boss who may have realized we were better, perhaps more respected for our…"

Mark said… Hi Al,
I read your comment on a previous post that "...recruiting is not head-hunting."
