Ken Forrester commented on Ian Harvey's blog post 'Is candidate sourcing really your critical value-add?'Ken Forrester commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters'"Good question Fred and I see where you are heading on this particular subject.
The problem is that some agencies present themselves as a Wal-Mart, but they only have enough goods to stock a 7-11. It damages their brand and the value of all…"
Fred Elmore commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters'"Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Ken. I would add that HeadHunters niched in a specific industry will be more effective than those who recruit “soup to nuts”. Wouldn’t you agree? For example, would you…"
Dave Nerz commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters'"Good point of view Ken. Employers fail to realize the cost of open positions and tend to see the cost to fill open positions as their primary driver. If an employer loses $100,000 of revenue for every 3 months a $75,000 job is open,…"
Bill Vick commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters'"Good Points Neil and well put. My simple summarization is HeadHunters are still the best solution because the super star candidate a company is looking for is not looking for them, and often has to be found, and dragged kicking and…"
Ken Forrester commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters'"More contingency than retained. Retained is probably more management consulting by nature. Would you agree?"

The economy is recovering, but there are still millions of people desperately searching to find a job. The irony is that many jobs are remaining unfilled. Why? The employers say that it is because they cannot find enough qualified applicants to fill them! The recruitment vendors say it is because the good people are hard to find and they have responded by developing a wide assortment of cutting edge tools to help employers find the good people. On the other hand, veterans from the old…See More

Ken Forrester commented on Jerry D. Thurber's blog post 'Finding Work at 60: A Tale of Talent Lost'"Certainly a thought provoking post and a great reply-it definitely gives you something to think about.
As I thought about this, I was reminded when I was 25 years old I took a co-worker out to lunch to celebrate his 50th birthday. During…"
Ken Forrester commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'Yes, No, and Goodbye'"Thanks for sharing your story, Amy-it was a great read. Also, many thanks for taking us into the mind of a passive candidate considering and actually making a job change. It goes to show you that a good recruiter can only open…"
