Ambrish Kochikar commented on Bruce Rowles's blog post 'Recruiters: Stop Emailing and Pick up the Phone…'Ambrish Kochikar replied to Jimmy Roa's discussion 'How staffing firms do it.'"Jimmy,
I have worked in environments where the sales and recruiting desks were separated, but not to the point of zero overlap. The best sales people I worked with were also good recruiters (maybe not the best sourcers, but they knew their…"
Ambrish Kochikar replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Question of the day: What are you going to do different in your daily recruiting approach for 2013?'"1. Focus on building stronger relationships with candidates, which is the foundation for success and is also being proactive and not reactive.
2. Analyze what skills clients hire for and prepare to be met with similar needs.
3. Develop more…"
Ambrish Kochikar replied to Sunil Kumar's discussion 'What to do......'"Sunil, facing the situation you describe seems quite tough. There was one time when I faced a (seemingly) unending stretch of rejections on a specific job or with a specific client. It almost seemed like I could not get it right and there was a bad…"
Ambrish Kochikar commented on Russell White's blog post 'Why Recruiters Get A Bad Rep'"Great post! I do think about how my responses or the lack of them could impact how candidates view my usefulness or professionalism or even 'decency' as a recruiter. My opinion about one point in this post is slightly different from…"
Ambrish Kochikar commented on Daniel F Ridge's blog post 'Get Rid of JATS (Job Ads That Suck), Join the Movement!'"The tipping point may have been reached. There are way too many JATS out there and I pledge to do my bit to stop contributing to the malaise. Thanks for the nudge, Dan!"
Ambrish Kochikar commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'What Candidates Really Think – A Cautionary Tale for Recruiters'"Enjoyed reading the post and all the comments. That last comment by Amber is very instructive. "I have always had great success, the chance to "meet" great people, and learned tons of stuff by telling them I don't know if…"
Ambrish Kochikar liked Amy Ala's blog post What Candidates Really Think – A Cautionary Tale for RecruitersAmbrish 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 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?
Posted on April 18, 2011 at 11:33pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
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. :)
