Sean Taylor commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'
"Another option is to partner with a company established in contracting.  For example Y1 Solutions has an Affiliate Program and they can be your back office, carry insurance, do billing and collecting, back ground checks, drug testing, etc. for…"

Sean Taylor commented on Steven Salter's blog post 'Should Recruitment Agencies do more for less?'
"Steven,  One of the things we have done for our most loyal and engaged clients in times of need has been to do a tiered recruiting fee. This is based on the volume they hire through us. So for example the first 2 hires would be at X% then the…"

Sean Taylor commented on Jason Alba's blog post 'What are the top 5 things job seekers do that annoy you?'
"Thanks for the clarification.  I was worried there that we were being hung out to dry. Understand these are the exceptions most times and hopefully not the rules."

Sean Taylor commented on Jason Alba's blog post 'What are the top 5 things job seekers do that annoy you?'
"Sorry Jason, I wish that was true. As I see it there are bad apples on both sides, thus why most of us have to work so hard. If you have a way for me to not work 90 hrs a week and cash huge commission checks I am all ears.  Generally as I am…"

Sean Taylor commented on Jason Alba's blog post 'What are the top 5 things job seekers do that annoy you?'
"1) Confirm they want the offer and will take it if offered- they when offered (24 hrs later) decline? 2) When finding out from the decline they want more money or benefits etc and you get the client to offer that and said candidate still…"

Sean Taylor replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Question of the day: What is the silliest excuse a hiring manger gave you for not moving forward with a candidate?'
"Another manager told them about a fee program that allows them to pay a lower fee the longer the candidate stays with the client????  Since we did not have that fee structure they were holding all interviews until they could tell me what it…"

Sean Taylor commented on Erin Passmore's blog post 'It's so hard... but is it?'
"Erin, I completely agree.  I myself have made it a mission to keep my candidates up to date as well as push my clients for some kind of response. If I don't have a response from the client- they know that. If the client is not interested…"

Sean Taylor replied to Chuck Klein's discussion 'Linkedin Recruiter'
"I would like to know about this as well.  It seems limiting to me for the money you pay.  I am trying to justify an ROI on this for my recruiting staff."

Sean Taylor replied to Michael Madrid's discussion 'Is my commission structure fair?'
"Hi Michael, I would like to talk with you about this- We have an Affiliate program and I would like to compare with you how ours works compared to yours. Give me a ring. Sean Taylor Y1 Solutions 866-393-6575 X 228"

Sean Taylor replied to Robye Nothnagel's discussion 'The dreaded - "We're letting your candidate go - please find a replacement for free"'
"We had a similar yet different circumstance where an employee left shortly after the guarantee period due to a family tragedy. The solution we worked out with the client was that we would do their next placement at a 50% discount due to the…"

Sean Taylor replied to Tim Spagnola's discussion 'Question of the day: How many is too many? How many open Jobs can you effectively manage?'
"I think the answer to this question lies in the scale of your operation and the number of recruiters you have on staff.  If you have a method of proactively having candidates come to you you can increase the number of jobs per recruiter in…"

Sean Taylor commented on Johnny Campbell's blog post 'Monster.com gets into bed with Facebook but where’s the action?'
"I am thinking it may be a little too late.  In regards to IT we are seeing the Monster database looking very weak when it comes to qualified direct hire candidate for IT.  To the point of almost non existent. I think all the job boards are…"

Sean Taylor commented on Cody Pierson's blog post 'Convincing Clients To Sell Themselves'
"Cody, I totally agree with you on this one.  Especially in IT (which is where I live) there is an extreme competition for talented individuals for positions.  We are tending to see way more open positions than qualified people for them, so…"

Sean Taylor commented on Debbie Fledderjohann's blog post 'Is Contract Staffing Leading a Fundamental Change in Employment?'
"Debbie, I too have been tracking with interest these types of articles and discussions.  My interest came when I started to see a fundamental shift when talking with both candidates and employers.  It seems recently with companies…"

Sean Taylor commented on Luke Collard's blog post 'Two's compnay, three's a crowd.'
"Luke, We have always had the client and our candidate negotiate the offer and package directly. While some "gasp" by losing control if we have done our job on both ends we have consulted with the candidate and our client what should be a…"
