Great post Ryan, very interesting to hear your contacts thoughts on the VMS. Something that vendors should consider - does the VMS stop the communication or is there a Managed Service Provider (MSP) who interacts with you and the client with the…

Phil Peters commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'A Response From My Hiring Manager'

This is one point of view. Typically the VMS systems I've seen have pushed back hard on real communication the argument being they want "transparency" I have seen multiple VMS implementations at multiple clients where we were told…

It's always good to hear this kind of feedback/perspective from a hiring manager. Thanks for sharing this insight!

A Response From My Hiring Manager

I haven't found many blog posts that allow us to hear the client/managers point of view. Well, look no further because one of mine opened up recently. I wrote a blog post about VMS and it's impact on recruiters and jobseekers. Below is a response from one of my hiring managers. I think this can be helpful to the recruiter and jobseeker alike. It reminds us to never take our clients for granted and always provide quality…See More

Barbara, If you give an intelligent, organized candidate details such as the nature of the project, job description, client's location and confirm all of this in an email, it should protect the candidate, client and broker from a double…

Barbara Goldman commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

Oh goodness. This is a real eye opener for me. I think that there are some very dangerous recruiters out there, and I truly believe this industry needs some kind of mandatory licensing I'm shocked that anyone would submit a candidate without…

Wow I really do not know what to say other than Wow. First of all I do not understand as a recruiter yourself what you really hope to accomplish with this blog but....... I really dont agree with any of it other than yes there are Recruiters out…

Marni Hockenberg commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

Hello! The best way to avoid this is to work on a retained basis with your client. When will hiring managers understand that contingent and retained fees are the same and they won't have the 'double submittal' dilemma to deal with?…

Sam Evans commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

Personally I cannot understand why anyone would want to have their CV submitted anywhere without first knowing where it was actually being submitted to? Surely it defeats the object of trust building even before the relationship has had a chance to…

John Pettine commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

Having the candidate send an email confirmation with permission to submit to X job number and that no other recruiters have submitted them to the position is a good way to get the candidates thinking hard about whether or not they were submitted.…

Ryan McMillan commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

I appreciate everyone taking the time to comment on this post. I can tell that this strikes a cord with all of us and that it's a source of BIG TIME frusturation. This seems to be one of those issues that can be limited but not illiminated. In…

Tim O'Donohue commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

I feel the best approach when dealing with a candidate I have yet to meet, test or perform references is to give them the industry and location of the client. Once I have completed my vetting process and the client has an interest in setting up an…

Andy Young commented on Ryan McMillan's blog post 'Double Submittals'

This is an excellent post and one close to my heart. It's the subject that is more likely than most to get my normally good blood pressure rocketing! And you know what? It HAS to come back to the client. Sure, the candidate needs to be adult…

Double Submittals

Posted on March 28, 2010 at 1:21pm 17 Comments 0 Likes

I've seen an increasing number of double submittals lately. As the job market begins to pick up, I believe that we will see a lot more of this going on. I've received questions about the causes and solutions of this problem and wanted to take a minute to address a few of the issues surrounding this drama fest. When recruiters realize that their candidate just got double submitted, they begin to hear that "fingernails on the chalk board" sound. It's a situation that hurts both the job seeker and… Continue

Recruiter/Client Relationships Matter

Posted on February 13, 2010 at 6:42pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Job seekers should actively seek out the recruiters and companies who can have direct managerial contact with their clients,because it can dramatically increase their chances of getting the job. Having these direct relationships with the client doesn’t guarantee placements.However, in terms of probability, the likelihood of getting the job is increased when coupled with a great candidate and great relationship.
