Ambrish Kochikar commented on Karen Bucks's blog post '1.7 Million Employees Hired! And counting…'

There's an unfortunate error in this post. The 50K hires are to be made in US restaurants only, not globally. So that's better news for the US ecomony! On the whole, I think it's a publicity and PR move for McDonalds to be talking…

Ambrish Kochikar and Valentino Martinez are now friends Apr 21, 2011

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Valentino Martinez's blog post 'THE ARROGANCE FACTOR IN RECRUITMENT'

That's a tough one to answer for everyone, but IMHO the 'better' recruiter has discovered the way to the top is to treat every candidate professionally, even those who behave unprofessionally with you (the recruiter).

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Tim Giehll's blog post 'Twitter as a Recruiting Tool'

I'm leaning towards the view expressed by some that it's going to be a mixed bag, and necessarily so. There's no silver bullet to finding recruiting success relying upon any single tool or source. Once you start thinking that way,…

Which question(s) do you think other recruiters should ask more often?

Early on in my career as a recruiter, after the initial call with any candidate, I'd always wonder whether I had learned enough and asked the right questions. I still don't like to think that I know everything. I'd like to hear what questions recruiters here think other recruiters should be asking more often or even at all. I haven't been visiting RB as regularly as I'd like to, so if this has been asked and answered before, feel free to move on. :) …See More

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Client wants a discount? Don’t talk dollars, talk value'

Nice post. Couple of thoughts here. The starting point for this post was a client pushing the recruiter/agency for a lower fee. Even though everything is negotiable, it still begs asking, is the 'client' already a paying client you've…

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Jon Prete's blog post 'The cover letter - fugheddaboudit!'

This is a very interesting and relevant discussion. Great points for and against. I'm coming down on the side that thinks the cover letter is a relic of the past. My two cents: The cover letter might serve as a starting point for the…

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Thabo's blog post 'Growth Is Overrated'

Thabo, that was a great post and made for really good reading! In elementary school I was taught that there are 3 basic signs of life: respiration, growth and reproduction. If we analyze a business from that defition and assume that it is a living…

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Ragan Kellams's blog post 'Ok, I've Finally Had It'

Ouch! That does sound like a nightmare. It must be frustrating to have your project's success depend upon a few critical but unprofessional resources. One of the many things you said about where you draw the line in the sand was…

Ambrish Kochikar commented on Jane Roth's blog post 'Wants Me To Lower Fee'

Keeping the client happy means higher chances there'll be repeat business. However, it's important to find out what makes them happy too (apart from lower fees, of course!). The points Barbara has contibuted are bang on target. Getting new…

Yope! Totally with you along the entire way.

Ambrish Kochikar replied to Sarah Calverley's discussion 'Why are recruiters - so BAD at getting good jobs for themselves?'

If you let your standards slide when interviewing a candidate for a client, you frequently end up disappointing your client. If you let your standards slide when interviewing (with) a prospective employer, you frequently end up disappointing…
