Started this discussion. Last reply by Mike Hard Apr 14, 2010. 2 Replies 0 Likes

Fire a shoddy employer or just roll over and take it?
Started this discussion. Last reply by pam claughton Feb 18, 2010. 3 Replies 0 Likes

Mike Hard commented on Nick Leigh-Morgan's blog post 'Staffing agencies: do they have a future?'"Nick - while it's true that you gave a vague qualifier that "agencies that adapt will survive", so many of your specific predictions are just not backed up by experience and evidence. Agencies needing to reduce fees in order to…"

Mike Hard commented on Robert Wright's blog post 'My Friend Steve and the Future of Recruitment ….AKA What's so Special about Specialisation?'"Sorry for the jargon, Robert. One could start a whole separate thread on what to call contingent agencies: headhunters, agencies, third party recruiters, TPR's, independant recruiters, search...
Steve, I think your path to specialization…"
Mike Hard commented on Robert Wright's blog post 'My Friend Steve and the Future of Recruitment ….AKA What's so Special about Specialisation?'"Based on what I see on Bounty, the data leans towards the "specialists" but generalists can and do have an amazing role that surprised me until I just accepted it. I don't mean an "all your eggs in one basket" specialists,…"
Mike Hard replied to Paul Thomas's discussion 'So do recruitment agencies really have a future?'"Thanks for sending this along Paul. Every couple of months someone gets attention by writing a "RIP for headhunters" article. Usually a retread of the same old arguments, but this one is entertaining. My 5 favorite quotes in this…"
Mike Hard commented on Jessica Lunk's blog post 'Does Social Media Technology = Hasta la Vista to Third Party Recruiters?'"Sandra! Anyone who can artfully use spanish, potty puns and macbeth in her comments deserves the last word....you win."
Mike Hard replied to Rayanne's discussion 'Technologies Come and Go'"Nice post Rayanne. I like your pragmatic openness to ideas.... "I, personally, cannot afford to maintain a position of absoluteness". Also like your ideas about how to think about technology. The best companies strike the right…"

If you want to use this as a forum to question our payment policy and terms, feel free, but there are a couple of things you mentioned re: your bounty that I think aren't entirely true and I…"
Mike Hard commented on Bert Shimabukuro's blog post '10 More Tips for Getting a Staffing Contract with an HR Gatekeeper'"Hi Bert - interesting post (i'm sure you'll get alot of kudos)
I'm interested, between all of the cold calls, linked in requests, lunches, etc...how much time are you spending every week with search firms? I like…"
Mike Hard commented on Slouch's blog post 'Want to know who bought RecruitingBlogs.com?'"Nice job Noel and Tim. Congrats. This community is passionate, engaged, expert, extremely diverse, infuriating (yes at times) but in the end, THE REAL DEAL.

Mike Hard commented on Sean O'Donoghue's blog post 'A Sinister Cloud On The Horizon For The Recruiting Industry...'"Sorry Sean - I didn't realize you were advocating a competing service. I thought you were an agency posting a question/concern about our model. I'll bow out of the public discussion but wish you and your company the best of luck both in UK…"
Mike Hard commented on Sean O'Donoghue's blog post 'A Sinister Cloud On The Horizon For The Recruiting Industry...'"I should have added this to my post and am sorry I did not make it clear - I am the CEO of BountyJobs, feel very passionate about what we are trying to do, and so am very biased."
