What a dull boring world you wish for. No one would ask the question because they would already know the answer. No subtle suggestion of the detail in your job in the answer: I sell. It's like what do you do? I breath..how…"

Sandra Anderson commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"I think Bill has an excellent point! With Linked in and social media even the most loyal of employees will be tempted by recruiters to look at other options. This would stimulate sales for us as recruiters and improve career…"

Amy, my bet is that's the trend. Tons of contractors when times are good, a few when times are bad.Understand, I'm not complaining as technology has made many professions obsolete and recruiting isn't exempt from…"
Amy Ala commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"@Bill excellent point - we're seeing a lot of that locally with large companies like Amazon and Microsoft - hiring tons of contract recruiters. No idea how long that will last though...."
Amy Ala commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"I think as long as candidates need to be "sold" on an opportunity there will always be a need for recruiters, inside or 3rd party. Any company can get a list of people performing certain job functions, but who's going to qualify,…"
David Palmer commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"I hope not. I believe we need to stay one step ahead after all Employers have always outsourced to Recruiters when it's easier to do so than do it themselves."
bill josephson commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"David, In my 31 years of recruiting I've always believed when the moment comes there are no invisible candidates to companies with all being technologically accessible to them that third party recruiting is over, we're obsolete."
David Palmer commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"There'll come a time when no one is "passive". Even those who love their job will leave a footprint in the market intentionally or otherwise that Employers can easily track. This is why I also believe Recruitment/Staffing firms need…"
bill josephson commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"David, Best way I've found to call into companies winning new business is on high level recruiting calls where you might recruit a high level individual within the company, or marketing a good candidate also to a high level person in the…"
bill josephson commented on David Palmer's blog post 'New ways to get new business in 2012 #recruitment'"David, Unless working with a company less technologically savvy from a recruiting standpoint I don't see how cold calling ever goes away.

Recruitment is all about a brief moment in time. 2 weeks before the job was advertised a better candidate may have been available but isn’t now. 2 weeks after the job is filled a better candidate may come onto the market but it’s too late. We cannot change the fleeting nature of the moment but we can make sure that we get the most out of it at the time.
So when the hunt’s on do you choose Sniffer dogs or an Eagle?
The traditional method is…
