Robin Stanton commented on Bert Shimabukuro's blog post '5 Tips on Recruiting or Working with Asian-Americans'

Bert when you say 30% of the people you meet do 1 & 5 are you speaking of people in general or recruiters in particular? I can't imagine any recruiter worth their salt would ask you about your ethnicity or nationality, but I…

Enjoy your vacation Rayanne. I will look forward to reading your posts when you return.

Robin Stanton replied to Ronald's discussion 'Are Entry Level Candidates Killing America?'

I believe some of the expectation is raised by our colleges and universities advising (or implying) their grads that they can expect a certain salary based on their degree area or the reputation of the school. I once had a candidate walk…

Robin Stanton commented on Nick Tubach's blog post 'Acknowledging the Elephant in the Room'

Nick, I hear what you are saying and I too feel your pain. I believe @Sandra has hit the nail on the head with the candidates who feel they "can do anything". I believe they think they could do brain surgery with 6…

Robin Stanton commented on Alban's blog post '"You want to leave your job because ?? !!"'

@Christine - I agree with your point about evaluating people on their productivity, however, in this case Alban's candidate implied to him she was looking for a job where she could facebook and not a position where she use her skills to be…

Robin Stanton commented on Tim Giehll's blog post 'Top 5 Social Networking Potholes'

Regarding #2 - how much activity is "enough" activity? Should one post something (relevant of course, but that's a whole 'nother discussion) once a day, twice a day. I have not yet jumped into the fray of social media…

Robin Stanton replied to Rayanne's discussion 'Your Pick Up Line Won't Work HERE Either'

Your picture makes you look approachable and fun. If you are okay with that then don't change it. Whatever you decide, don't let it be because you think that you were even partly to blame for this other persons insolence.…

Robin Stanton replied to Rayanne's discussion 'Igniting the Fires of Retention'

Rayanne, thank you for a great reminder. I made it a point to walk over to one of my colleagues after reading this to say "Thanks and you are doing a great job." I think she was a little taken aback, but I could tell she appreciated it. It…

Robin Stanton commented on Sean Ryan's blog post 'Trade a Smoke Break for Vacation? An HR Dilemma'

Interesting question, Sean. My employer gives everyone two 15 minute breaks, plus a half hour for lunch, this time is monitored closely for production staff. Smokers can choose to use their breaks to light up, non-smokers can use it to pig out. This…

Robin Stanton commented on Sarah White's blog post 'The Power of Language - Why 1 word really matters.'

Excellent post, Sarah. So much of what is poured into marketing a firm to attract candidates and represent the culture can be undone with a mundane job posting. Thanks for the challenge.

Robin Stanton commented on Mervyn Dinnen's blog post 'They Shoot Recruiters, Don't They?'

The blame game is counter-productive. When a hire terms voluntarily or involuntarily during the first 60-90 days it is as an opportunity to review the candidates background, our hiring and onboarding processes, the training, etc to look for ways to…

Robin Stanton commented on Steven Coyne's blog post '"3 Reasons I'll Read Your Resume"'

Very helpful post Steven, thank you. I think your point on the transferable skills comment was that job seekers need to be indicating how those "transferable" skills directly match up with the requirements of the job. It is the job seekers…
