Love that Recruiting!
Started this discussion. Last reply by Valentino Martinez Feb 28, 2012. 1 Reply 2 Likes
Recruitment is like solving puzzles all day long. Though it is not always like a game, per se, I like to sink my teeth into a challenge - and recruiting definitely serves them up. So for 26 years I…Continue

Pamela Witzig commented on Jackye's blog post 'The Dumbing Down of Recruiting'"Interesting. "Recruit is a verb" is a phrase that is both on our web site and email signatures."
Pamela Witzig commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It's The Headhunter Fee, Stupid!'"My goodness. I don' think anyone made a claim that all passive candidates are top talent. That pool is where the most qualified are found however. Job boards are far more apt to have the has-beens, wannabes, job-hoppers, etc."
Pamela Witzig commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It's The Headhunter Fee, Stupid!'"Yes, always off-radar Mark. Stephanie, I'm amazed recruiters didn't send references. Good ones have them on their Linkedin profiles and more delighted clients happy to give references. A recruiter worth their salt will make a *rifle*…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Ken Forrester's blog post 'It's The Headhunter Fee, Stupid!'"Well done, Ken. We sometimes struggle with getting clients to "get" what we do. I think that is because of the many bad models of "recruiters" they've seen that just work with the low hanging fruit of active job seekers or…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Ryan Harding's blog post 'Why I stay away from job boards….'"Relationships and sourcing passive candidates is the only way. As stated in a recent blog, we never use job boards. Ever.
Happy New Year.

Pamela Witzig commented on Ashley Barker's blog post 'Dreaded MIA Candidate'"It's true Rickie. People will often respond to text when they don't otherwise. It allows them to save face somehow I guess. It can finally get the job done on these weak personalities (just ask me how I feel about them - ha). And giving…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Ashley Barker's blog post 'Dreaded MIA Candidate'"I would not want to keep this person in mind for future reference. Integrity is critical. Being completely unresponsive and avoiding the tough conversations says a lot to me about how they would (not) perform for my client. If I have to chase them,…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Gabriel Bachove's blog post 'Do you still pay a recruiter their commission if they leave the company?'"I know I'm weighing in late. It seems not paying commissions may result in paying it out - or more - in legal fees and/or bad "press." Just consider it tuition as a learning experience to use to refine contracts, adjust benefits,…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Classifieds, Faxes and Paper Cuts, Oh My!'"We also did mass mailings by the way - to people in our industry we had been in touch with.
@Maisha Cannon, we have 25,000 industry professionals in our database. These are people we have contacted - a number on many occasions - over the years. They…"
Pamela Witzig commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Classifieds, Faxes and Paper Cuts, Oh My!'"Our recruiting is nationwide. We had logo stationery cards with slits for business cards. We sent these out for thank yous and congrats, but mostly for tracking people down we had lost touch with and wanted to contact about a search. They were…"
Valentino Martinez replied to Pamela Witzig's discussion 'Love that Recruiting!'"Pamela,
It's always great to hear from recruiters who love their work. You clearly do.
That passion is recognized at 50 paces.
More power to you.
Tino"
Pamela Witzig commented on Drue De Angelis's blog post 'The Problem with Recruiters!'"I agree there are many such recruiters out there who are, unfortunately, creating a reputation for the rest of us. Since 1986, as a contingency firm, I have emphasized that it is about building client relationships which is why most of our…"
