Comments for Talent Recruiters Inc. http://www.talentrecruiters.net Recruiting for Candidates and Companies Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:31:51 +0000 hourly 1 Comment on The RULES by Lou Berger http://www.talentrecruiters.net/the-rules/#comment-22 Lou Berger Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:31:51 +0000 http://www.talentrecruiters.net/?p=197#comment-22 Craig, you make some excellent points. We never request a DNC because we don't feel that we have the right to do that. We do ask, sometimes, depending on the client, for a "right to represent" but it's not a global request, ever. We try to be pro-active about feedback from hiring managers. The system we use kicks out an automatic email when feedback is entered. THAT is very helpful! We sometimes do not submit a resume and, when we do not, don't bring that to the attention of the candidate. Not every candidate will make it through our screening process. It's the nature of the beast. We will, however, gladly explain why we didn't move forward. It's common courtesy... Craig, you make some excellent points.

You actually have to remind people to be honest? Even in this current economy and having been out of work for a year I will not apply for a job that I am not qualified for, I will not stretch my skills just that little bit to make it look more favorable. Once I actually get a position I want to retain that position. I have an odd quirky set of job skills that are not a great fit in most positions I am forwarded from the main job boards, so I don't get a lot of real good hits. What really kills me now is that for at least one company for which I was what I would consider a good candidate at least I was refused an interview simply because I had been out of work for to long. I call it the "BOOW" virus. Their loss I know, but it was a devastating day for me. I agree with your "rules", as long as you add one to the end that states, "If we know ANYTHING about the position you were submitted to or interviewed for, either good or bad, you will contact the job seeker ASAP." I hate the hot to trot recruiter that wants you signing a DNC clause before you have even phone screened, but won't call you to tell you that they either didn't submit you or your resume was declined. And if you know why please share! Having a recruiter go dark on me is so difficult. I know you guys are busy, so I don't like to hound, but come on this is my future! My 0.02 worth. =) Who doesn’t know this stuff? You actually have to remind people to be honest?
