Donald Sonn commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"I've been out of the office on assignment and just got back and read the many clever comments all together.

Rayanne commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"I don't mind the bottom feeder comment too much, I was a bottom feeder and was subject to the will and whimsy of Hiring Managers and CEOs.

Cathy Bialy commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"Great blog with good reminders for new and experienced recruiters.

Donald Sonn posted a blog postQuestions to Ask Prospective Employees
The interview process is not fun for those looking to hire people, but it really isn't that bad of an experience, if you know the simple questions to use in an interview:- Why Do You Want to Work here? What is it that makes you desire this job? Why did you apply for it? These are great things to ask to guage the enthusiasm of potential employees in regards to the job you're looking to hire them for.- Do You Have the right Experience? It's usually a bad idea to hire someone who has little to no…See More
"Thanks for the blog, and I agree with you EXCEPT for the bottom-feeder tag and #2. It's very hard to build rapport and relationship via email. It's impossible to effectively discuss a candidate or conduct a proper debrief via email. As…"
Slouch commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"Hey Steve, and if a recruiter does not use the site you mention they are not smart?"
David King commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"This was an interesting quick read...though I absolute MUST agree with Ragan. Referring to any client as a "bottom-feeder" is less than professional, and to think of them that way is risky: such a lack of regard for the client is likely to…"
Steve Dill commented on Donald Sonn's blog post 'Rules for Headhunters'"Smart recruiters use targeted niche web sites like http://www.gorillamedicalsales.com to find those hard-to-identify candidates who mayt be the perfect fit for the employer."

Rules for Headhunters
Posted on October 20, 2010 at 3:02pm 14 Comments 0 Likes
Here are the rules we live by when working to bring new employees to HR Directors and other hiring authorities:
1. Don’t waste their time. You don’t have nearly enough to start with. Do everything you can to avoid wasting their time.
2. Use email as much as possible instead of the telephone. Recruiters must use the telephone in order to "sell" but remember that the customer comes first.
3. Keep reminding them where we are in the process because this is just one of a hundred…
