Gerry Crispin commented on Amy Ala's blog post '“You Don’t Speak For Me” – A College Student’s Thoughts on Donglegate'"As an observer without real insight beyond the descriptions provided:
- The joke was a mistake. Everyone makes them and hopefully regrets them and... and, learns not to do it repeatedly.
-There was no evidence presented that this was the 2nd, 5th or…"
Gerry Crispin commented on KKenner's blog post 'When the Candidate asks..."Why didn't you call me?'"K, your frustration is evident and most of the comments empathize with your 'math' but don't sympathize with your lack of solutions. As a former corporate recruiter, among other things, I can appreciate that there are few challenges…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Rebecca B. Sargeant's blog post 'Good Bye Bullhorn'"Fewer than 50% of firms who claim to have a great candidate experience actually ask their candidates to give them feedback at ANY stage of the recruiting process. (And they are just one stakeholder)
Apparently the failure to take real-time…"
Gerry Crispin replied to Laura Purt's discussion 'Candidate Experience - What are your thoughts?'"In about two weeks we'll be supplying [free] at thecandes.org a new whitepaper offering data around company practices related to the questions you posed above. The data was gathered last year from the firms that applied to the Candidate…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Maren Hogan's blog post 'Inside the Brain of the Passive Candidate'"Love the Infographic. Nice job Maren. This should build lot of dialogue inside firms.
I agree with Jerry that 'tenure' offers changes in the approach...not whether to call or not. A timely call to someone three months in might identify…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Chris Brablc's blog post 'How many touchpoints do you need before a candidate applies?'"I should also note we have over 80 firms who have applied to the Candidate Experience Awards this year (deadline to apply was last week) (http://www.thecandes.org) and we'll be collecting data on some of the issues you are raising from the…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Chris Brablc's blog post 'How many touchpoints do you need before a candidate applies?'"Excellent article Chris. Source of Hire isn't the result of a single element but the combined influence of a many factors. The more people realize how these pieces interrelate, the less we'll be arguing over 'which one' is the…"

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 commented on Ian Harvey's blog post 'Social Media in Recruitment Isn't Working - Just Ask A Candidate'"Ian, despite the digression by those who've commented here, your central question "who represents the candidates" is a reasonable one and deserves an answer.
You of course represent yourself and fellow job seekers well...at…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Chris Brablc's blog post 'A Better Candidate Experience: A Laundry List'"Your approach in representing candidates to clients is great Cora (although you missed describing how you actually treat the majority of the candidates your client either doesn't want to consider or considers and rejects). However, I'm…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Ian Harvey's blog post 'Social Media in Recruitment Isn't Working - Just Ask A Candidate'"Ian, take up Jim Stroud's offer.
You represent well.
There is much more attention on this subject in recent years and to the extent firms are beginning to recognize that there is a 'value' that can be attached to the treatment of all…"
Gerry Crispin commented on Chris Brablc's blog post 'Where does the Candidate Experience start?'"Nicely done. Thanks. You may want to add this free whitepaper into the mix. it's based on this past year's surveys of 55 firms Candidate Experience practices and related surveys of nearly 11,500 candidates of 24 of those 55 firms.…"

Gerry Crispin commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Three Ways I Will Improve the Candidate Experience'"Great article. Love the attitude you bring to it. Thank you for not only accepting the candidate as a legitimate stakeholder in the hiring process, but declaring what you accept as a bar we all should aspire to. The good news is that firms are…"
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…"

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.…

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…

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
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.

- 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.

- 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.
