Suzanne Levison replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"I agree, Ralph. Too, if a candidate is just not ready, you must move on, whether you know his/he reasons or not. Sometimes you just can't get to the bottom of it. Although, that doesn't mean that candidate isn't viable at another time…"
Ralph Boccella replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"Every candidate may be bsing you. Play it out and find other candidates. There will come a point where you just have to take the opportunities away from her. "
Sokol Tushaj replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"Inspiring reply! Thank you Sandra! :)
"
Suzanne Levison replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"Yeah, I'll agree with Sandra on this. Communication is best. Find the bottom line reason. No B/S"
"Absolutely try to find out what her issue is, and incorporate the take away as well. If it's too easy to take away from her, she's not the right candidate.
One word of caution, however. Please do NOT use the 'we have other…"
Sandra McCartt replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"Time to fish or cut bait. Your objective is to get her in front of your client if she is serious. I would handle it this way.
Me: Hi Judy, you mentioned that you might have to take a sick day in order to go for interview. Let…"
Mike Avillion replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"I think it all depends on answering the following questions:
1) How far in advance are the client(s) looking to fly her in?
2) How much time is involved? Overnight trip?
3) Scope of her current role? How integral is it for her to be…"
"Mike although she may be a great candidate on paper unless she is truly motivated to make a move (and for the right reasons) your best bet is to do a take away like Amy mentioned. Let her know that you cannot spend anymore time with her on this…"
Paul S. Gumbinner replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"There are many candidates who want to leave their jobs but are very loyal to their current employer. They are conscientious and involved with their current jobs. So she may truly be in a self-imposed conflict. Is she BSing…"
Cathy Mannis replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"I would ask your candidate if she can commit to a certain interview date and, if she is at all hesitant, let her know that there are other candidates in the pipeline that will then proceed to move forward in the process. You are basically…"
Shawn White replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"The Candidate might not be BSing you. It does sound like there might be many different reasons for her not putting in the required leg work to make this opportunity possible. I would take Amy's advice that would be the most…"
Amy Ala replied to Mike's discussion 'Issue with candidate - would like opinions.'"Is she BSing you? Maybe. Keep in mind we're only hearing one side so hard to say for sure. :) Here's what I would do / have done -
"Candidate, thanks so much for talking with me about this role. I have a commitment to my client to get…"
