"Janine,
My experience has been "somewhat" the same, even though I am a veteran (navy) myself. I work with veterans who are referred to me through veterans. I've never worked with a veterans' organization who is in the business…"

Randall Scasny commented on Ryan Harding's blog post 'Why I stay away from job boards….'"Ryan, you may find value in job boards as you stated, but I'd suggest you re3ad between the lines. Look at the rhetorical drift of these posts. Clearly, some of the posters don't find value in them."
Randall Scasny commented on Ryan Harding's blog post 'Why I stay away from job boards….'"By staying away from "job boards" you are saying they have no value to you. I can accept that.
But to suggest they have no value and are a waste of time, that's a different story.
I have customers who get hired by applying through a…"
Randall Scasny commented on Ryan Harding's blog post 'Why I stay away from job boards….'"Ryan,
You ask an excellent question. Since I operate a job search assistance service, and the job seeker pays me a fee, I get to know them quite well, especially if i work with them for months. What I have found is that people who are unhappy with…"
Randall Scasny commented on Ryan Harding's blog post 'Why I stay away from job boards….'"I've been in the job search assistance business for a long time. I've also spent a lot of time "testing" the effectiveness of job boards and social recruiting sites. A handful of leads from social sites--dreadful responses even…"
Randall Scasny commented on Alexander Gutin's blog post 'Warning: Mobile Apply Is Sinking Your Recruitment Process [INFOGRAPHIC]'"If they are that busy, that don't even look in the first place."
Randall Scasny commented on Alexander Gutin's blog post 'Warning: Mobile Apply Is Sinking Your Recruitment Process [INFOGRAPHIC]'"My last hire last week was through an employer's website, not mobile. I don't think 25% is very high. In fact, it's pretty low. My feeling is it is too early to tell about mobile.

Randall Scasny commented on Debbie Fledderjohann's blog post 'Candidates Experience Discrimination After Just One Month Unemployed'"About 40% of my clients are in IT or engineering. I would never say it is a "skills" problem that is the cause of their unemployment. Technical skills are really only the first screen of getting these folks re-employed. One of the big…"
Randall Scasny commented on Debbie Fledderjohann's blog post 'Candidates Experience Discrimination After Just One Month Unemployed'"Jerry,
Your statement is not based on fact. Last year, I worked with an Microsoft veteran who was unemployed for 2 years. So, there are IT people who are unemployed. I can name more cases. But I've made my point.

Randall Scasny commented on Debbie Fledderjohann's blog post 'Candidates Experience Discrimination After Just One Month Unemployed'"Andrew: I can't let your unthoughtful comment/attitude go unanswered: who's the blame for being unemployed? how about derivative traders (and their credit default swaps) from the UK who lost billions and the shock waves destroyed the…"
Randall Scasny commented on Irina Shamaeva's blog post 'LinkedIn: a List of Challenges'"Thanks for the information. I do feel linkedin gives great data, etc.
Concerning your statement:
"For my own recruiting business LinkedIn accounts for 100% placed candidates in the last twelve months and a large chunk of sourcing information…"
Randall Scasny commented on Matt Deutsch's blog post 'Poll: Big AND Small Companies Can't Find Skilled Workers'"I've read the entire story / press release on this topic. The conclusion is specious. If one reads the entire story, one important fact is left out: this skills "shortage" is based on the fact that the companies of today do not want…"
Randall Scasny commented on Darryl Moore's blog post 'The Power of Thank You – Write a Note and Reap the Benefits'"I agree with you. When I was younger, I recall getting a job offer due to a thank you letter. I encourage my customers to send out thank you letters. I'm not sure why but the 'thank you' does not appear to work as well these days as…"
Randall Scasny commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Test Driving the Job: 3 Reasons Why Trial Employment Makes Sense (And 1 Reason It Doesn't)'"The idea sounds great on paper but gives me a bad taste in my mouth.
As was suggested in your article, for some jobs getting up to speed and fully performing can't be done in 4 days. I recall being in a 3-month training program for my first…"

Technicians know where they can find useful information related to their industry, its not going to come from recruiters (atleast very rarely). Unlike some gurus would like us to believe, trust and legitimacy…"
