Chris Russell replied to lisa rokusek's discussion 'No paper resumes, Ppply on twitter w/minimum klot/kred score.

Does anyone agree that for SOME positions you can learn all you need to know about the candidate through just their linkedin and other social profiles?"
"Chris, great outlook on life! Early adopters usually are the winners. Your answer makes sense and interested to see results.

"Chris- you are a glass half full guy which I admire. I think it is silly, but I would be interested in seeing if they do hire off a klout score how well they do in their position.

No paper resumes, Ppply on twitter w/minimum klot/kred score. Whaddya think?
So this is happening. http://blogs.enterasys.com/hiring-a-social-marketer-no-paper-resume-accepted/ It is a company recruiting for a social marketer and who will not accept resumes - only applications via twitter, and who have minimum klout/kred requirements.Is it goofy? Is it smart?Disclosure: Enterasys is not a client, nor do I want them to be. I know little about them.Part of me is mulling over…See More

Sandra McCartt replied to lisa rokusek's discussion 'Damn it, Janet. Why do we reward bad behavior?'"Several options to try and take a partial save.

Dirty Movies and Hiring
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:16pm 0 Comments 1 Like
You might think that pornography and hiring have little to do with each other. You'd be wrong.
In essence, looking for a job (or looking for specific talent) is a type of mating dance, and I often compare both endeavors to dating - the comparison works well. I think hiring is broken right now - I've felt that way for a while. It still happens; I am still making a living finding people that companies will pay a fee to hire (thank goodness). But I see more broken processes than…

Our language is important. Our words matter. I remind myself of the truth in those statements several times each day. As a recruiter I find, qualify, and enthuse talented people on behalf of my client companies. My tools are my words, both written and spoken.
I find many of my recruiter peers focus less on their words than I do. I am a…

Sometimes I think too much.
I know this about myself and counter that tendency by focusing on the slogan (yes another one) "Action breeds action" every single day. "When in doubt send them out!" is another one that rings true in my ears.
However, that doesn't mean we should present a candidate without thinking, it doesn't mean our job is to fling crap at the wall without preparation.
On this board we sometimes talk about how we should prep candidates for interviews,…

I find what we, collectively, do to be amazing. We headhunters are the envoys of employment, the captains of commerce, the of potentates of potential!! We help our clients accomplish their challenging goals by finding and securing for them the talent they need to succeed.
It really is a beautiful thing, man.
I've been feeling especially reflective because I am heading into my 5th year of being in business for myself. I've been a recruiter for wow, 17 years, I can…

Most normal people don't know what recruiters do. Sadly, I have also encountered a disturbing number of recruiters that don't know what they themselves are doing, which is not helpful. However, it does provide grist for the storytelling mill.
Most hiring managers seem to think that we have lists of people with a variety of characteristics at our fingertips, ready to be packaged and shipped at a moments notice. Some candidates have a tendency to ring us up after an extended absence… Continue

Recruiting Animal said… - Yes, it's probably doomed but we can always target postings on other sites.
We only have about 6 active members. And the exchange this morning didn't earn us one extra person so we don't have much strategic depth personnel wise.
