"What happens if a recruiter realizes in the first few minutes that the candidate is a dud? They'll be wasting the time they took to prepare for the interview and the interview itself. Additionally, the candidate has to find time to talk. They…"

Gregory Saukulak posted a blog postAce Your Next Interview: 16 Practice Question & Answer Strategies
The interview process should begin well before arrival to an employer’s office. If you’ve recently been invited to interview for a position, you can boost your chances of success by diligently preparing unique responses to common questions. While you won’t have access to the hiring manager’s exact questions in advance, you can be sure that at least some of the typical questions will be asked…See More
Candace Nault commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'The Post-Interview Thank You Note: A Make or Break!'"I tend to agree on the hand written note, when there is time to send one out, I coach my candidates to do so. So many times with email, their thank you note can get caught in a spam filter, be accidentally deleted, or totally missed in…"
Amy Ala commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'The Post-Interview Thank You Note: A Make or Break!'"Excellent post Gregory! I absolutely agree with you on the importance of a thank you note. Don't underestimate the power of a simple well written card. I used to coach candidates to keep blank cards in their car and right after the interview…"
Christopher Perez commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'The Post-Interview Thank You Note: A Make or Break!'"This topic may strike some as "Duh" or Common Courtesy 101 but I agree with you completely on the importance of a TY note. I have never heard a single client gushing about a well-written TY note, but without fail, they mention it when a…"
Manny Barrientos commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Phone Screens: Five Tips to Favorably Impress'"Greg,
Very nice post on the basics. As others have said, it's amazing what some candidates will or will not do on something as basic as a phone screen. We usually use a candidate's performance on a PS to make various, very accurate,…"
Russ Recruits commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Phone Screens: Five Tips to Favorably Impress'"Research the Employer!
I still am never amazed to hear from my MD who has conducted an informal telephone chat with a candidate and reported back that they had not undertaken any research. "what do you know about us...?" followed by…"
Darryl Dioso commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Phone Screens: Five Tips to Favorably Impress'"Great points. I'd add "Sound enthusiastic". Too many times I have disqualified a candidate because they sounded like they didn't want the job and that my phone call was annoying them. Lovely."
Gregory Saukulak posted a blog postPhone Screens: Five Tips to Favorably Impress
When beginning the candidate selection process for new positions, many employers conduct a phone screen prior to a face-to-face interview. Such conversations serve as a way for HR to confirm a candidates’ experience and qualifications, and to eliminate anyone who seems to be an overtly poor fit for the position. To ensure that you will advance to the next stage of the hiring process, you need to be equipped with not only excellent in-person interviewing…See More
Carly-Anne Fairlie liked Gregory Saukulak's blog post Select with Certainty: A Guide to Candidate Phone ScreensAmy Ala commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Select with Certainty: A Guide to Candidate Phone Screens'"Hmmm. As a corporate recruiter there is no 2nd step following the phone screen if we don't have the salary conversation. I bring it up towards the end of the call, after I make sure there is a good possibility of a match - but salary discussion…"
Peter Ceccarelli commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Select with Certainty: A Guide to Candidate Phone Screens'"I disagree with you. The salary converstion has to happen in the initial phone screen, typically at at 15 minutes into it. Money makes the world go around and it's wise to not waste your time and the candidates if you're not in…"
Ben McGrath commented on Gregory Saukulak's blog post 'Select with Certainty: A Guide to Candidate Phone Screens'"Peter,
I would argue the discussion regarding salary and benefits comes later in the process.
What we are looking for initially, is if the candidate believes in the job opportunity and that the company culture will be a good fit for them.
