Why I Love Recruiting
Started this discussion. Last reply by Raman Ramamurthy Feb 29, 2012. 4 Replies 11 Likes
I was excited as I picked up the phone and dialed. Maybe a little too excited. But this is what I come into work for every day. Well, maybe not if I'm fully honest. We're all ultimately in this for…Continue

Christopher Perez commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"I love clients, candidates, or anyone for that matter who, after unloading on you unjustly, are able to reel it back in, admit they were wrong, and then do the right thing without a need to justify their initial reaction. And if we don't do the…"
Sandra McCartt commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"I do a lot of emailing with candidates in order to gets things in writing from the candidate and clients to not only be sure I have salary info, visa status, relo preferences, reasons for changes etc for my own info but also to build a paper trail…"
"Thank you so much Sandra! That is super helpful, and definitely a route I will consider taking when I have citizenship doubts. Wonderful advice!"
On An Others-Based Reputation
I'm a no excuses kind of guy, I really am. I love sports (die-hard Celtics fan, born and raised in So Cal), and I'm just not the kind of fan to blame losses on officiating or injuries as some fans do. Bad call at the end of the game cost you the W? Maybe you should've built up a bigger lead before the end of the 4th quarter. Your starting center goes down with a knee injury in Game 6 of the Finals (a la Kendrick Perkins vs. LA in 2010)? We should've won Game 7 anyway, even with Rasheed…See More
Sandra McCartt commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"@Joel, yes, it is encouragement. All of us who have been around for any length of time have had to fall on our sword more than once because a candidate led us down the primrose path and truned into an artichoke at the 11th hour and 59th.…"
Amy Ala commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"It's true Joel recruiting is one of those "accidental" careers people seem to fall into... I don't know anyone who did it intentionally :)"
"@Sandra - Thank you for the encouragement! I think? Haha! It's goo to know that even though people are crummy and getting worse, a good recruiter can stick with it and last 30+ successful years in this as you seem to have done. I appreciate the…"
Christopher Perez commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"My apologies if I got that wrong. I need to go back and check my CPC training materials, etc. Fortunately, my practice never takes me into these areas. Further proof that common sense isn't always permitted in the business world."
Bill Schultz commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"The H1B thing is tough. By law, we're only allowed to ask if they are "authorized to work in the US for any employer." I usually add "without sponsorship" though I'm not sure that's even…"
Christopher Perez commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'""Trust - but verify" <-- great quote and excellent advice.
So is the idea of the "voodoo jar"!"
Amy Ala commented on Joel Garcia's blog post 'On An Others-Based Reputation'"This is exactly why I've never hired a recruiter who said they were (or wanted to be) in the biz because they just LOVE people. Bullsnort. People pull THIS kind of crap all the time. Tell me, how much do you love people now? :)

As an agency recruiter, I make sure I personally talk to every new talented candidate I connect with before submitting them to my client. It's standard procedure, as I can learn much more about their communication skills and how they may fit in with the culture of my client in their voice than over an email.
It's rare that one of these conversations sends shivers down my spine, but when I brought up the issue of the standard background investigation that my client requires for their…
