Gerry Crispin commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Keeping it real. Six tactics for hard-core recruiters in 2012'

Nice list. This advice is as relevant for Corporate Recruiters as it is for 3rd party. Even the first one "Fire clients..." would be a major win if Staffing leaders made the case that recruiting for poor managers is not in the firms best…

Not 'may be getting into jobs' Direct Employers is going to be delivering all their members' jobs to Facebook. That is not a small feed. Just sayin'

Beware the Facebook job board

Recruiters...Lend A Hand

Most professionals give back in myriad ways. This forum exists to acknowledge (and inspire) ways that recruiters and their companies can coach and support others- contribute their Time, Talent and Treasure to help those who need a hand.

Gerry Crispin replied to Kimberly Roden's discussion 'Whose responsibility is this?'

Won hands down. It was in the days when we actually fought the good fight. (They didn't have a non compete- their employer just was pissed I picked off the entire team)

Gerry Crispin replied to Kimberly Roden's discussion 'Whose responsibility is this?'

Agreed. Waste of time for my money and the data I collected then. Better to collect expiration dates and tap the mine when its ready to give up its ore. I take the long high road...and this from someone personally sued for taking an entire…

Gerry Crispin replied to Kimberly Roden's discussion 'Whose responsibility is this?'

As a former recruiting leader for a Fortune 50 pharma firm, I made sure that the script for every recruiter who hired critical skills included an early question (if not THE first question) "Have your signed a non-compete?" If the answer…

Excellent Joe. I hope you will add to your interviews there. I would be particularly interested in what delegates to ERE from other countries might make of or describe as good to poor candidate experience in their cultures and whether they believe…

The Candidate's Experience: Is it just Smoke and Mirrors?

Posted on September 9, 2010 at 11:30am 26 Comments 0 Likes

I'm planning to be at RecruitFest in Boston on the day before it opens (I'm taking Amtrak up from NJ). So, Wednesday night (perhaps at a wine bar) and, again Thursday during the day I'll be looking for a lively discussion on the pros and cons of the Candidate Experience. I might bring a poster like the one above. Then again, maybe not.…

Katrina changed me forever...but I Am Still New Orleans...

I'm going to play this new song by Vince Vance laced with his haunting refrain (above) this weekend and hoist a few to my favorite city. Recruiting may not be synonymous with New Orleans but it's workforce challenges can be found in…

From Where I Sit...There Are a Lot of Empty Seats

Posted on June 13, 2010 at 5:30pm 8 Comments 0 Likes

I flew United for the first time in a decade last week. It was a lesson in customer as well as candidate experience I won't forget anytime soon.

The customer service people were very nice. When I stepped up before boarding and told them I normally fly Continental- had in fact booked my ticket through Continental but my mileage (50-100k per year for the last decade) and status weren't highlighted on the ticket as they should be and then asked whether 1st class had all…

How prepared are you to handle a candidate who happens to be disabled?

Posted on April 7, 2010 at 2:31pm 3 Comments 0 Likes

I'm looking for some baseline practices (present or absent) in the recruiting process that impacts how we welcome...or not... people who may be eminently qualified but happen to have a visible disability. This survey should take 10 minutes

Assuming someone got far enough to reach a corporate or third party recruiter via phone, tty, etc. I give most recruiters the benefit of the doubt and assume they have sufficient… Continue

India. Check. Final Thoughts

Posted on December 17, 2009 at 10:30am 14 Comments 0 Likes

I went to India to check off one more country on my “bucket list” (not that I plan to kick the bucket anytime soon mind you but I’ve always had a long list of adventures to experience and this is one of the last countries on it).

My colleagues on this trip and I all recognized that the ten days we spent in 3 cities barely scratched the surface of India’s current business practices, culture and history. Ten years wouldn’t be sufficient, but we made the most of our moment and hope that… Continue

I'm doing well, sorry I missed you this week at ERE. It seemed like a great event. I watched much of it via live stream when I wasn't traveling.

At 10:19am on January 26, 2009, Sean Harry said…: Hey Gerry, FYI, that twitter account is now available for you. I'd grab it quick, I already had 5 followers without advertising it at all. Talk to you soon.

At 10:53am on January 23, 2009, Sean Harry said…: I'll call you about noon EST (9:00 PST). Didn't realize we are stepping on your trademark. We published a book named "Career Crossroads: Finding the Perfect Career For This Time In Your Life" and its been convenient to shorten it to careerxroads. Working today to change that. . . Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I also watched a video of you on xtremerecruitingtv. Interesting business model you have. It sounds very successful. Talk to you Saturday.

At 1:24am on January 23, 2009, Sean Harry said…: Hi Gerry, CareerXroads? Wow, it sounds like we DO need to talk. When is a good time for you? Friday is full for me, but what about Saturday? Or sometime next week.

New to the group and wanted to get feedback regarding obtaining a PHR/SPHR certification. Are there any recommended study guides other than what is in the hrci site. Thanks.
