Gordon Alderson commented on KKenner's blog post 'When the Candidate asks..."Why didn't you call me?'"Have you had at least their names and mobile (cell) phone numbers entered into a database? If so send text messages to candidates to tell them where they stand. It's so quick, can be done bulk and is instantaneous at the candidate…"
Gordon Alderson replied to Will Thomson's discussion 'What is the hardest and easiest skill set to recruit and why?'"The hardest skill sets are those where the client or client team denies access to the Hiring Manager and Final Decision Maker (usually the Hiring Manager's boss) from the outset of assignments.
After almost two decades of recruiting without…"
Gordon Alderson liked Will Thomson's discussion What is the hardest and easiest skill set to recruit and why?Gordon Alderson commented on Barbara Goldman's blog post 'HR on the Warpath'"It pays everyone - clients, candidates and recruiters (of all types) - to use a documented system that insists on involving the Hiring Manager, the Final Decision Maker and the Recruiter from the outset as to the entire recruiting and hiring…"
Gordon Alderson commented on Martin Ellis's blog post 'How to Choose a Headhunter - Great questions to test them...'"Hey Martin,
SLA?? For a moment there I thought you were a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army then my favourite Search Engine led me to Service Level Agreement - Phew!!

Gordon Alderson commented on Martin Ellis's blog post 'How to Choose a Headhunter - Great questions to test them...'"Martin,
Here's a couple more good questions for our clients:-

Gordon Alderson commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Some hiring managers just don’t get it!'"Greg
All consultants (including recruitment consultants) have clients from hell.
When that is the case for our sanity's sake we need to let them go.
However, some clients might look like clients from hell then when we genuinely help them by…"
Gordon Alderson commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Some hiring managers just don’t get it!'"Greg,
I felt somewhat sad when I read your article.
We are working on developing a SaaS-based tool that will overcome the issues you refer to in your article. I have used this as a MS Excel-based tool for the past 15 years. It works but…"
Gordon Alderson commented on Megan Bell's blog post 'How do I cut down my interviewing and screening times?'"Megan,

Gordon Alderson commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Three Ways I Will Improve the Candidate Experience'"Thanks Maisha for your thoughtful article.
May I add - Care for all candidates as if each of them will one day become an advocate client.
When you live and work by this attitude you will find that former candidates, even unsuccessful ones, will be…"
Gordon Alderson commented on Paul S. Gumbinner's blog post 'Here's A New One - A Candidate Who Will Not Supply References'"I suggest you call the candidate and ask them:
"Let's say my client make you an offer in writing. Then you let your current boss know that you intend leaving to take it up. What will you say to your boss if he/she makes you a…"
Gordon Alderson replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Question of the day: Can a candidate's sparking personality and interpersonal skills make up for lack of experience?'"So many Hiring Mistakes can be solved with better diligence when taking recruitment briefs.
