I have 14 years of recruiting experience with 5 years most recently in-house and 9 years agency prior.  Currently at Emulex Corporation, a networking storage device company in Costa Mesa, as the only recruiter and my position is being eliminated.  I was at Sun Microsystems for 2 years before.  My background can be viewed at http://www.linkedin.com/in/bradselvin if you would like to learn more.

I have a client who claims a the industry standard placement fee agreement is 100% refund for employment of less than 6 months.  I do not believe this to be the case based on my corporate recruiting experience, but what do you think?  I thought a Prorated Fee Schedule over the 6 months is more in line with industry standards.  Do you have any data/stats/info you could share?

If you are trying to find job leads of firms that are hiring, try going to www.JobSearchUniverse.com and search for leads on the site.

If you are trying to target candidates with particular skills, try www.Search4Candidates.com, enter your search and then, to tighten it, select a particular refinement. The LinkedIn one, for example, will generally extend your LinkedIn network pretty dramatically. You can also search Xing, free resumes, blogs, etc.

Hope these help you.

Best wishes,

Please find attached resume for consideration for any opportunities you might have that match my background and experience.

Thank you,

"Sanel was a very good employee when he worked for me as a recruiter at UCSD Medical Center. He really excelled in working with all of our nurse managers to meet their needs and reduce the days to fill positions. This was evident by the way he always embraced our organizational core values of integrity, caring, creativity, teamwork and quality. Our recruitment team could always count on Sanel as a backup when they were out of the office. They knew that their work would be done with the highest quality and that he had excellent documentation skills which were always noted in the recruitment files. Our philosophy was to never say NO to our customers. Sanel was creative in this regard and he would always find alternative solutions to exceed his customer�??s expectations. Sanel is really a gem and his quality of work was always impeccable... therefore, he will be an asset to any organization!"

(From the outside consultant perspective) Is the membership to the SHRM worth it for networking/referral basis of VP/Director level HR professionals? Is their any other local senior level HR discussion groups/chapters here in Los Angeles worth taking a look at? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have an acquaintance who has import export experience and speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Are there any recruiters or agencies that specialize in this field? Thanks for your assistance.

Hi group, My name is Crystal Romero, and I have been a recruiter for just under 3 years. I am being considered for a Healthcare Recruiter role, and have been requested to summarize my goals, monthly placements, commission structure, and percentage of Direct Hire versus Temp placements. I have never been asked this question, and do not know how to handle it. I have worked for 3 different staffing agencies in the Engineering and IT industries. All three had very different structures and goals. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for you help in advance.

Warm regards, Crystal Romero

Hello,

My company recently closed their finance/accounting department and I'm looking to continue recruiting finance professionals. Although I worked as a junior internal recruiter, I'm looking to join an agency (draw against commission) to continue learning and further my recruiting career. I mainly recruited passive candidates (controllers, financial analyst, SEC, project managers, senior accountants, etc) and sourced via cold calling.

I'm also not opposed to working at home if space is an issue. I'm based in So. California.

Thanks.
