I wasn't 100% sure what the show was going to be about today.

The guest is not a recruiter. She's a 24 year old marketing grad and her story is very different from the claims of Gen Y Triumphalism we were hearing a few years ago.

The conclusion I…

Dear Recruiters

A couple of weeks ago I asked a career coach to be the guest on my show on May 16, 2012 at Noon Eastern.

She agreed to come on but then sent me an ultimatum. "I want this info or I'm not coming on." I didn't like that. I actually granted her request but I got snippy. I admit it. But just a little.

She, however,…

I thought it was a good show. Amy Ala introduced me to a guy who used to be a client of hers and we made him the guest. He likes to call himself @HR_Nasty but, really, that's like a short man calling himself…

Findhire is a combo of contact management, project management and sourcing software for recruiters. Michael Dennis the CEO was a surprisingly candid, easy-going guest and because of that people liked him. It didn't seem as if he was being asked hard questions but he was. He just…

This was a pretty wild show. I didn't seem as if there was much coherent content while it was going on but I'm listening to it as I write and I have to admit that I'm having a good time.

I thought it was a good show today. The guest was an articulate young guy even though he did suffer from a certain amount of first appearance shrinkage. I got criticized for my critique of his Linkedin profile but I was right and my critic was wrong. And I got criticized for…

I thought it was a great show today. That was my feeling while we were doing it. The pace was pretty fast, there was some relevant content and the guest seemed comfortable with the "culture" of the show. So, of course, I got slammed on the aftershow. I don't know what it is with these guys. They either over-rate me or under-rate me but they are rarely spot on.

Mind you, that's what I like about the Recruiting Animal Show - they get to air their opinions even if I don't agree. Though I…

It was a fun show and to my surprise it got high marks from the crew. The topic was infographic resumes and we looked at some during the show. The primary example was http:re.vue/Natalie . 

We also looked at Rory . Here is the guest's infographic resume - http:re.vue/MikeHarding and here are a whole slew of examples on…

My guest today was the VP of Sales at Gooodjob. I heard a beeping sound right through the show. Other people heard clicking. Some people heard everything just fine.

I find it very distracting when I have this irrelevant noise competing with the guest but I thought it was a good show anyway and I received the usual slew of compliments: my good friend Jerry Albright said the…

What did I do wrong on this show? The listeners on Twitter were howling that they couldnt understand what @NateSigma does so I guess I didn't explain it properly.

Nate supplies contract personnel to 2 big companies. These huge companies don't deal with external recruiters directly. They job that out to a Vendor Manager (VMS - Vendor Management System).

The vendor manager approves recruiting firms to be on the preferred…

My scheduled guest decided at the last minute that an appearance on my show might hurt her tender growing brand. So she copped out. Luckily, our good friend, Amy-The-Recruiter-Ala stepped in to fill the gap.

Amy said it wasnt the same without Cat and Mouse Team, Jerry…

For some strange reason The Recruiting Animal Show is DESPERATE 4 GUESTS.

I NEED GUESTS. So, please, ask yourself: Do I want 2B a guest on the #1 online call-in show about Recruiting and Careers in the entire world.

This is a show that is now featuring on a regular basis the most famous Telephone Sourcer in the world - @MaureenSharib - who has just returned to active duty.

And now in addition to Maureen, the most famous internet sourcer in the world -…
