He drinks hard, drives fast and talks faster. He came…"

Tim Keene commented on Dustin Carper's blog post 'How Not to Get Hired at Groupon: Stalk Us'"Great read, and I love Stephanie's comment. I'm not a fan of the whole careers@amazingcompany.com thing. There are people on both ends of these communications, lets at least make it seem true!"

Tim Keene commented on Slouch's blog post 'Would you write that post if you had nothing to sell?'"I think posts like that should be removed. The occasional link to your own site is fine, but the idea behind a blog is to share useful information with people. Its not a place to promote your own products. Unless someone…"
Tim Keene commented on Nick Tubach's blog post 'Acknowledging the Elephant in the Room'"Great post, and I agree with most of what has been said. There is certainly a big problem, but its one that is very difficult to fix. Its impossible to create a blanket fix. Recruiters are always going to want to find the right…"
Tim Keene replied to Joel C. Riet's discussion 'To Voice Mail or Not to Voice Mail'"Leaving a voicemail is key in any sales type of situation. Just because someone doesn't call you back, doesn't mean its not a good idea. You want them to remember your name next time you call, and I also think it shows a little…"
Tim Keene commented on Tim Giehll's blog post 'Job Boards Are Still Alive?'"I agree that job boards are one tool you should have in your belt. It also really depends what you're trying to do. If you need to fill your pipeline with a high volume of candidates, job boards are a must have. You're…"
Tim Keene commented on Tim Keene's blog post '5 Things to Remember When Sending Out Rejections'"I like the idea of a phone call as well, but I know a lot of recruiters prefer not to because of the above reasons. That said, and again, I think the most important thing to remember is people are human. For me, its more important that…"

Helena Smith commented on Tim Keene's blog post '5 Things to Remember When Sending Out Rejections'"Many ATS systems will automatically provide a thank you for applying to this position upon initial receipt.

5 Things to Remember When Sending Out Rejections
Posted on March 21, 2011 at 11:57am 6 Comments 1 Like
A recruiter recently asked me an interesting question after a webinar I presented on conducting interviews. She wanted to know the preferred medium for sending a rejection letter. Should it be done by email, or with an old fashioned letter through the post? It’s certainly a great question to consider, as it’s a sensitive subject. What is the best way to deliver the bad news?
The most important thing to remember here is the people you interview are human, and regardless…

I work with a ton of recruiters and corporations looking to find top entry level talent, and one of the things I get asked the most often is “how do I get recent grads interested in my company?” If you don’t have the ad dollars to conspicuously place a can of your soda on Olivia Benson’s desk in tonight’s episode of Law & Order, it can be difficult to get the word out about your company. One of the things entry level college grads tell us all the time is they’re… Continue
Does Your Job Posting "Sing" to Gen-Y?
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Everyone knows first impressions count. When you have an interview scheduled with a top candidate do you leave them waiting in the lobby for ten minutes after your meeting is supposed to start, and then greet them with a greasy handshake while you wipe bits of the steak burrito you just scarfed down from the corners of your mouth? Of course not! Plenty of top candidates would walk out, and the rest would never return your calls. Take it from someone who has actually been…
