What makes a Recruiter Great!!!
In the hope of sharing and helping all recruiters on the site lets share what makes a great recruiter. Is it an innate ability to identify talent? Is it an ability to locate talent? To identify the proper fit for a particular role? A massive rolodex? Persistence? Relationship building? What do you think makes a great recruiter?See More

Sylvia Dahlby commented on Francois Guay's blog post '28 Tips for a Better Talent Management Strategy'"@Valentino I think what is meant by "nix the ATS" is not to let it become a barrier & so process bound that it diminishes the human interaction... or at least that's what I meant."

"Thanks for your thought but it's amazing to get naysayers to tips. Tips are there to be used or not used depending on what your strategy needs are."
Cora Mae Lengeman commented on Francois Guay's blog post 'Klout is the Future of Performance Management'"I finally found out what Klout is. I think it's a game people play and the people with the lowest scores work the most and the ones with the highest scores spend too much time on the internet!"
