So... now... does anyone still wonder why…"

Ron Rafelli commented on Ian Lenehan's blog post 'Why Does Everyone Hate Recruiters?'"I am an "in-house" recruiter for a global company.

JoAnne Auerbach commented on Ian Lenehan's blog post 'Why Does Everyone Hate Recruiters?'"Although currently an executive recruiter & consultant, I was also in-house in recruitment and HR management.

Charles Van Heerden commented on Ian Lenehan's blog post 'Why Does Everyone Hate Recruiters?'"Ian, from a corporate HR perspective I would agree with Sharon's comment that there seems to be some recruiters that are better at sales than candidate care. Fully agree with your comments about candidates and I talk regularly to candidates to…"
Sharyn Yuloff commented on Ian Lenehan's blog post 'Why Does Everyone Hate Recruiters?'"As a corporate recruiter, I can say that I get frustrated by recruiter consultants who continue to call trying to pitch a candidate even though I have repeatedly advised that we are a small firm, with little turn over, and that I will contact them…"
