Jerry Albright commented on lisa rokusek's blog post 'A Tiny Roadmap of Their Heart'"Right on Lisa! I have never asked my client for a range - ever.
"What is your targeted salary here?" You will usually hear a fairly specific number.
I think this happens with newer recruiters - using the upper end of this range they have…"
Steve N Odell commented on Jerry Albright's blog post 'Before you can recruit for us.....'"Another comeback when the client says we have others that will do it for x %- Oh, I can give the # of some others that will do it less than that. Their # may have changed because they seem to move a lot."
Jerry Albright commented on HRNasty's blog post 'Rude Linkedin Introductions, you just sent one!'"I'm glad you like my picture Sandra. My mom said I was the best baby ever - so I'm sticking with it.
Regarding courtesy, manners, etc. I am not suggesting that we, the recruiting community, should abandon them. I've…"

.....you'll need to agree to the cut rate, bargain-bin fee the other agencies agreed to. The position has been open since December and we really need someone ASAP. Do you have anyone? The manager is losing his mind - and taking it out on me!

For the past few months I've noticed more and more self-promo stuff geared toward candidate enlightenment, job hunting tips, etc.
Do the posters have any idea what so ever this is a place for recruiters? Or do they come here, think "Hey - this is a great place to spam with my candidate BS" and post away?
Yes - I'm an old dog. Perhaps one of the new tricks I should learn is "How to get business by joining the job hunting and resume writing tips club and…

Another installment in my series of UnModerated blogs:
By and large I reject the notion of Talent Community all together. The very idea that people are inclined to "connect" with a company over a long period of time - hanging out backstage like groupies at a Rolling Stones concert, hoping to get the call to join the team, is nonsense.
Sorry - but this is primarily a pipe dream for most employers. Most employers are not cool, hip spots like Google or Starbucks.…

I trust Gerry Crispin. So should you. He is not a career branding "expert" or any other type of new media blow hard. He has data. Real data. Dare I say "Big Data"? He doesn't make up stats and figures to promote his business.
Why do I bring this up? Well - it seems some people in the "how to network" coaching business want you to believe that 80% of the job openings are being filled through networking. And where does that stat come from? Who knows....? Not Gerry…

Nothing bugs me more than entering a comment only to find the blog is moderated and my comment must be approved.
Do you want conversation? If so - conversation is the free flow of dialogue. That means - you say something, I say something, you reply, I reply and so on.
If you moderate your blog here - it more or less says "I am here to tell you what I think" which is not the way a thriving community continues to grow.
Thank you.
