Jason Alba commented on Meghan Doherty's blog post 'Why You Should Never Hire the Perfect Candidate'Jason Alba replied to Irina Shamaeva's discussion 'Search for MBA's or SPHR's on LinkedIn With a Free Account'"This is awesome, thanks Irina!"
Jason Alba commented on Meghan Doherty's blog post 'Why You Should Never Hire the Perfect Candidate'"I love this Meghan. I was going to write about this, based on the title, and say how ignorant recruiters are... being the best fit isn't good enough! But, after I read the post, I totally, 100% agree with you. Thank you for sharing…"
Jason Alba commented on Dean Da Costa's blog post 'What do candidates really want from staffing process??'"I'll answer this from my job seeker perspective: I wanted respect. And I felt like, as a job seeker, I didn't get it from anyone.
I think any specific thing a job seeker wants (what you find from the focus group) will come…"
Jason Alba commented on Greg Savage's blog post 'There is nothing special about France…'"I LOVE this. Makes me think about me as a job seeker, 6 years ago, I thought I was "special" and didn't have to network... because my resume would carry me above and beyond the others I was competing against. And about any…"
Jason Alba commented on Irina Shamaeva's blog post 'LinkedIn 3rd Level Connection Profile Visibility'"Irina, thank you - let's hop on a call. Email me at Jason at JibberJobber dot com?"
Jason Alba posted a blog postHow has social marketing evolved? Please share your thoughts...
Six years ago a big part of my social marketing strategy was blogging... either writing my own posts or commenting on other blogs in my industry. I would look for blogs from recruiters (there were lots of them) and career coaches and resume writers (not as many back then).Then, the social networks got more powerful. LinkedIn wasn't really a place to have conversations (like Group Discussions) but I saw people start to comment about my posts ON FACEBOOK! And then quick comments on Twitter. My…See More
Jason Alba commented on Irina Shamaeva's blog post 'LinkedIn 3rd Level Connection Profile Visibility'"Always great stuff Irina, thank you. I shared this on my LinkedIn blog today, with a follow-up breaking down your example search in two days :) www.ImOnLinkedInNowWhat.com"
Jason Alba commented on Joel Cheesman's blog post 'Monster Rumors Heating Up'"Ah yes, you are right... sorry about that. The "see more" link was hidden by the other "You might like" links... they were all too close together.
Again, awesome to have you back... reading that post was like a blast from…"
Jason Alba commented on Joel Cheesman's blog post 'Monster Rumors Heating Up'"Tiffany, good question. I agree... continuing to work on the path they are working on does seem like they are going "too robust." They haven't kept up with what the market needs/wants are (and allowed Indeed to come and take…"
Jason Alba commented on Joel Cheesman's blog post 'Monster Rumors Heating Up'"I hope that when someone buys Monster that opens things up a bit in the space. Monster has been in a wait-and-see position for so long while they should have been innovating and making strategic acquisitions to strengthen their position. Whoever…"
Jason Alba commented on Jason Alba's blog post 'The Best Recruiter I Ever Had (Didn't Help Me Get A Job)'"Zachary, of course I thought the problem was me. And of course I had other issues in my job search. This post was a snippet of one issue... I wrote it in this forum of recruiters to help share one issue that is relevant to recruiters. I…"
"Quite an interesting view on recruiters. I think that you had a couple of issues with you job search, just based off of what you wrote above, than recruiters being a black hole or they have bad motivators. To play devil's…"
Jason Alba commented on Joel Cheesman's blog post 'They’re heeeeeere. Again.'"I didn't think I'd ever see a post from Joel Cheesman again... ! I hope this isn't the last :)
So, what are the names? This post is too elusive... I want more details. And Joel, are you back in the industry?"

Continue The Best Recruiter I Ever Had (Didn't Help Me Get A Job)
Posted on August 21, 2012 at 10:47am 2 Comments 7 Likes
In my job search, six years ago, I thought I knew what recruiters were for: to get me a job.
I thought it was your job to take my resume and find that perfect fit for me. I found 30 local recruiters and shared my resume with them, sure they would be wowed, impressed, and fall all over themselves to place me so they could get a fat commission.
Sound familiar? I know job seekers today still think your role is to get them a job, with no-to-little effort on their…

I'm putting together some presentation material and would love to get YOUR LIST, as a recruiter, or the top things candidates to that annoy you. You can give me three, or ten... I'm going to try and compile a good list of 5 (or 10) common things.
Note that my website, JibberJobber.com, is used by job seekers to track and organize their job search. I've read a number of times (here and in other places) that recruiters are highly annoyed when job seekers aren't organized, to…
