Congrats on what sounds like a good hire - and "win win" scenario! I can attest to the fact that there are some genuinely nice kids out there. I once hired and trained an incredible young man, who was an awesome employee and I also happen to be the proud mom of a kid that sounds a lot like this kid you hired. He's just a really nice person. And after hearing the recording it sounds to me that your Eagle Scout is too.

Good stuff. I think it shows that you just 'know' when someone is a star candidate. It's usually pretty clear when someone really stands out...and clients generally agree. This kid sounds like he will go far.

Delete Comment Like I said right off the bat - I'd call this kid's parents!

That aside, this is a fabulous demo Jerry of how Verbal Summary works. I hope this helps to convince people that an enormous amount of information is carried in a person's voice that augments a person's resume.

There's also an enormous amount of information carried in a person's voice that augments sourcing. It's a cry in the dark I've been howling many, many years now.

I like the verbal summary platform. It looks like a pretty cool tool that can bring out the inner qualities of a good candidate who doesn't project well on paper. Do you edit the verbal component or do you submit the raw version of your conversation. Also, do you need to obtain written approval from candidates to submit the verbal component? I guess you proved your point on this placement. Congratulations.

Congrats Jerry. :) I know how you think so i expected that one. You would have placed this kid in three days just to prove your point. Like the verbal summary. Good Work.

Thanks guys.

Ken - I don't do much editing. I provide the answers in the same way my client would hear them if they were on the call themselves. Normally they give me several key questions and I just grab the call and stick it on top of the resume.

I never doubted you Jerry! You have to love it when a plan comes togeather. Time to fire up that cigar.
