See who is already coming to #socialrecruiting summit in November!
I have a small office (and a big mouth) so I need a place to vent with and about other recruiters clients and candidates.

Maybe it's just me...It sure seems like everyone came back from the holiday vacation and found a memo that said "Ok, go spend your budget money". I know things are heating up when I find myself not even having time to finish my sandwich at my desk in mid-afternoon. It's almost like Y2K all over again...Phone's ringin'...
As I suspected, the previous blog and controversy was valuable only as a philosophical exercise. The guy didn't get the offer. We were in a good position if he had received and accepted one but I am left with a distinct urge to go work on a better deal. The whole thing reminded me of earlier days working in firms that had 15 and 20 recruiters in a given market...All the breath that was wasted by all those people arguing about stuff that never would happen... What fun!!
Here is what I understand the situation to be and a review of what I offered in case you need it for your records. I am sending it because it appears to me that Ken Tarmac is an excellent candidate and there could be a good fit with CodeBlowers if the right position is identified/designed.
1) Time stamps mean nothing from a legal perspective when a candidate is introduced to a company by more than one entity. An ...
Totally miscellaneous response?.you tell me J Ever since Martin Marietta offered me a bonus for women and African Americans back in '86 my response then and ever since has been I will refer all qualified candidates without regard (and sometimes without even knowing) whether they fit any particular groups. I have not seen the ratio of the two large groups I deal with change much ...
Wow! We just had a fantastic meeting at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans. The French Quarter seems good as ever but I didn't have any prior experience of the place before my Fordyce Forum trip in June. Our Pinnacle speakers included Jason Davis from right here at ERE.net to talk about the Fordyce Letter, Don Breckenridge from Sendouts.com with a great presentation on Balanced Scorecard and Author/Blogger/Entrepreneur Penelope Trunk from The Brazen Careerist with an extremely entertaining update on how to handle the shrinking supply of new professionals trickling into the job market. Of ...
I usually can't keep my mouth shut or my fingers still but for a couple months now I have been less than excited when my blog reminder comes up. Half the time my entries are to complain about something and I can't even find stuff to complain about. I know there must be hundreds of you out there with RSS feeds waiting with 'bated breath to see what bugs me next... I promise I'll try to find something to complain about soon... I won't go quite so far as to say I miss Karen from Sourcer ...
Dave,
I know you have been trying to contact us about setting up a recruiting relationship but I must decline. It has been brought to my attention by several of my employees that ...
That?s not the ?recruiter ploy? it easily could be if I didn?t support it a bit further. There?s even a bit of this my clients might not like as much as I do but it?s what I believe?.
Here?s a scenario?.
Rhetticent looks internally while at the same time talking with 2 of our clients. Both clients AND GD are interested and make more or less simultaneous ...
Penelope, I can't wait to meet you in October. It'll be huge fun. Commenter Aaron, "marks' is an ugly word. If I saw people as marks I would not have 2 people I have placed 3 times,3 people I have placed twice,1 guy placed at the same company twice ,both times for a fee, a million dollar client who became a candidate, a candidate who took a counter-offer hiring a dozen people from me and many placed candidates hiring people from me later. My two oldest relationships in recruiting are the second guy I ever placed ...
