Thinking about upgrading my account, any thoughts or suggestions? I actually think I would go more to one of the "business" plans vs. the "talent" plans, what do some of you have? Or just stay with…Continue

I suppose I could probably write something for each letter that describes some of the things I don’t love about recruiting, but thinking about what I have come to love about it over the last few…Continue

Got a call today from a client. We had a candidate in with them last year who ended up turning down the job offer. The turndown came after many discussions and several concessions from the client.…Continue

Amber commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Suck it up princess. This is as good as it gets'"I am a "generalist" in the fact that I work on different types of jobs on various industries. So I know some would say that if you aren't a "specialist" or you don't have deep industry knowledge then you can't be a…"
Amber commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Suck it up princess. This is as good as it gets'"Good post, Greg. Even if there is a "recovery" down the road, it doesn't change what needs to be done NOW. "
Amber commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'Generalization Fatigue'"This is a little left maybe, but I just had a candidate who was told by "somebody" (some guru, no doubt) that any and all offers for a sales position should always be negotiated. Yup, all companies are trying to trick you so they can see…"

Sure, they probably had a lot more to share but some of the fun of…"

Amber commented on Allen's blog post 'Independent Contractor'"Projected if it's with proven past data would be considered. I don't recruit in that field at all, so I don't know if it's one of the standard ways that these positions are normally filled. It would depend on what the projection…"
Amber commented on Allen's blog post 'Independent Contractor'"I'm assuming these are sales roles...
We only have one client that hires like this. We charge them a flat fee, and then additional payments if the person is meeting goals and still working for them at certain intervals. Here is an example: At…"
Amber commented on Will Thomson & Amy Ala's blog post '10 Tips From Corporate Recruiters That You'll Ignore Anyway'"Oh yeah, I get that! Even as an agency recruiter I will have candidates who do the same. The difference is I see it and can fix it before a client sees it. But it usually doesn't make for a positive reaction from me, so it is not something…"
Amber commented on Will Thomson & Amy Ala's blog post '10 Tips From Corporate Recruiters That You'll Ignore Anyway'"The title could have been "10 Tips from Recruiters", I agree with all your points from an agency recruiter view as well.

A Big THANK YOU!

I have been visiting RBC on a regular basis for about 8 months now. Today, I had the occasion to use a service that I was introduced to via the network here. And then I realized there were quite a few things that the community here has brought to me, and how thankful I am that there have been so many willing to share.
Blogs, posts, and comments: A bunch of "regular" participants on here have brought knowledge, encouragement, and LAUGHTER! Sandra, Amy,…
Continue Background Checks

Hi Everyone,
I have a client who will probably need a company to do a few background checks soon. Any recommendations? I'm not familiar with any. I think they will want to find one who can provide the basic employment screening and offer a drug testing option.
