"I have to agree with both Andrew and Randall as well. Both very valid points. I have encountered literally hundreds who have been laid off over the past few years. The general consensus amongst clients seems to be that if it has been less than 1…"

"The Company was looking for a front office "person" and were very clear about being very gender neutral in the job duties. While it wasn't part of the job description, the Company policy of "wearing pantyhose or stockings are…"

Bipolar Recruitment
It finally happened! The call is made, the client – after months of wooing, well placed marketing, phone calls, cold calls and general “keeping in touch”..the client has an opening…and wants you to be a part of their recruitment efforts. You diligently go to your internal base, search out candidates through your social media/recruiting contacts- make the calls, qualify, disqualify and requalify candidate’s interest in the position. Ask all candidates about any companies they have interviewed…See More
"I second your post! Depending on the situation, I will call first, then email as a back up. If someone is at their desk or has their phone, they will answer. Email can be very passive. While I respect that some of my Managers perfer email, some…"
"OUCH! Like a shot in the heart! All you can do is pull the arrow out, wipe off the blood on your trousers and keep going. Recruiting, having kids and growing old are not for sissies!"
"Absolutely! I always ask for referrals. Depending on how well you know them or how long you have been working for their organization, it usually goes like this:
Mr. Client, I am so happy we have been able to make a successful fit for your opening.…"
"I have come across a similar situation with one of my first clients. The twist to this one was that my client didn't care it the employee was male or female, but if it was female, she couldn't be overly attractive. I jokingly called…"

"I had someone turn down a position because she was getting married. Her new husband is a "self made man" and doesn't think she should work... HUH? What year is this?!?!?"
Reasons for YES
I am new to blogging on RBC....so be nice :)Some recent encounters have prompted me to write about this recent revelation… In Staffing, going through hundreds of resumes per week, if not more, and submitting qualified candidates to open requisitions, I often find that we look for reasons to turn down or discount a candidate. I am not the only guilty party here…I find that I run into this with Clients, Managers, Vendor Management companies and sometimes even candidates. I have been in the…See More
Sandra McCartt commented on Betsy Park's blog post 'Reasons for YES'"The role of a recruiter is to identify the potential "nos"then bring it to a "yes". I think if we anticipate the no response and overcome it when the candidate is presented we are doing our job. If we don't…"
"Betsy, Congratulations on completing your first blog!
Like you I have struggled in the past with hiring managers looking for the perfect fit and that is because I firmly believe that we recruiters interview to qualify whereas hiring…"
