James Todd commented on Jessica Lunk's blog post 'Does Social Media Technology = Hasta la Vista to Third Party Recruiters?'
"There is always going to be a need for TPR's as long as we have business cycles and hiring has peaks and valleys within an organization.  Any company that has an internal recruiting team big enough to handle hiring peaks is going to have a…"

James Todd commented on Christopher Poreda's blog post 'A very simple question...well, perhaps two.'
"CB you are a machine.  That is amazing volume for one person.  A big part of the cost equation for clients is not only fees, it is the cost of interviewing.  Travel costs & management time can be very expensive, one way I think…"

James Todd commented on Christopher Poreda's blog post 'A very simple question...well, perhaps two.'
"This is an interesting discussion.  I operate in a small niche within the industry as a recruiter specializing in sourcing executive development programs with transitioning military officers.  Even so, I think my experience is not too…"

James Todd commented on K.C.'s blog post 'Will Social Recruiting Dig the Job Board Plot Next to the "Help Wanted" Grave'
"Sandra, I am in a good mood.  I sold a buggy whip today to one of the five largest corporations on the planet.  Thankfully they have not yet gotten the word that I am an anachronism that can easily be replaced by a talent…"

James Todd commented on K.C.'s blog post 'Will Social Recruiting Dig the Job Board Plot Next to the "Help Wanted" Grave'
"KC, your argument to clients is that with an effective social media effort the need for TPR's is reduced, why you chose a blog site dominated by TPR's  to promote that pitch escapes me, but I guess that is why I am not…"

James Todd commented on K.C.'s blog post 'Will Social Recruiting Dig the Job Board Plot Next to the "Help Wanted" Grave'
"KC the benefit of SM to third party recruiters is still unproven.  You have hitched your wagon to social media in recruiting in much the same way as the investors of the Chicago Carbon Credit exchange hitched their wagon to global…"

James Todd commented on Alasdair Murray's blog post 'Social recruiting? It's just a passing fad (unless you're a household name company of course)'
"It seems that anyone who questions that recruiting is evolving into a social media driven industry is branded a luddite on this forum.  Based on what I have read here and in some of the articles on other forums the SM tool of…"

James Todd commented on Alasdair Murray's blog post 'Social recruiting? It's just a passing fad (unless you're a household name company of course)'
"Alasdair, I think your orginal assesment is dead on.  My observation is that when it comes to SM the biggest proponents and I assume the folks getting the most out of it are personnel in marketing vs sales and internal recruiters for large…"

James Todd commented on Maureen Sharib's blog post 'LinkedIn: A Violation of An Employee’s Non-Compete?'
"Many employers, especially in the recruiting industry believe all professional contacts  aquired by an employee while working for them are the property of the company.  Because of the challenge of severabilty with sites like Linkedin…"

James Todd commented on Greg Savage's blog post '10 massive blunders I have made in recruitment'
"Great article Greg.  I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences.  For an industry that prides itself on being composed of savy networkers the amount of meaningful dialogue between agency managers/owners is really very…"

James Todd commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Will clients pay 60% permanent placement fees? Well, yes actually.'
"Greg, the mistake was mine, I just assumed your post was instructional as so much of what you have done in the past has been. On a couple of occasions I have had my team watch your videos for training, they are that good. Keep up the good work.…"

James Todd commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'Will clients pay 60% permanent placement fees? Well, yes actually.'
"Greg, The logic of a 60% fee on a 60K US position is hard to grasp. I can understand a company paying a premium for top talent, I just have trouble understanding how someone demanding a salary of only 60K could be considered top talent in any field.…"

James Todd commented on Jonathan D. Davis's blog post 'Reality Potions and their Risks'
"Derek Jeters agent has no doubt already figured out what other teams would be willing to pay him. Although it is going to bruise his ego a bit, he is going to get his 3,000th hit wearing pin stripes, because he has more value to the Yankees than any…"

James Todd commented on Justin Miller's blog post 'Social Recruiting: The Replacement for Cold Calling'
"Justin, You have been defending this blog like it was your senior thesis, let it go. When your thoughts on the industry reach the level where they are held to be ground breaking and significant by the community you will know, because someone will…"

James Todd commented on Justin Miller's blog post 'Social Recruiting: The Replacement for Cold Calling'
"Justin, this was a great thread. Much of what I read on these blog sites are just infomercials, you poked a bunch of people in the eye and what came of it were some great observations on what works and does not work in today's environment. The…"
