You can know access the recruiting101 blog by typing in www.recruiting101.com It certainly makes it easier for me.

The interesting thing about the recruiting business is that our product is unique. Not only can it change it's mind but it can talk back. This puts a very interesting spin on product control and management. Just imagine a truck full of Coca Cola saying "hmmm I do no think I would like to be shipped to Texas, In fact I think it is too hot there so just forget it"

In our business we hear it all of the time so we need to look at this carefully and see what can be done so that surprises don't happen. I personally hate surprises when it comes to recruiting. Sometimes, it cannot be helped but for the most part if you ask the right questions and follow the plan, everything should leave on time and end up where it is supposed to go no matter how hot the temperature.

There is a book by Bill Radin called Shut up and Make more money. You should read it. One of things that has helped the most is what he and probably others call the porcupine close. It works like a charm but understand it also benefits the candidate. That is also important.

One more thing, I do not benefit at all if you buy Bill's product. I mention it because his books have helped me.

The interview I did with Bill Vick is at xtremerecruiting.org is up. We talked about Recruiting in general as well as the future of the business from a number of different perspectives. The interview is located under the interview section. It is the first interview I have ever done so........

I just read an an article about HotJobs in Recruiter.com Here is the article. I kind of get the impression that it is not new news since it happened in February/03 but it is a sign...

I will be doing an interview tomorrow with Bill Vick who is the Principle of Xtremerecruiting.org We will be discussing my involvement with an organization I started called Splits.org

If you have never visited Xtremerecruiting, you should. There are lots of interviews with people who are involved on many different levels within the Recruiting world. When the interview gets posted, I will let you know.

I have added a new link to a new blog called Staffing Management Systems. It is another blog using blogger software.

I was away for a week and was not in a position to add information to my site. I am back and ready to publish.

I saw on hcm.blogspot.com there is a poll for ATS Systems being used. One of the ones not mentioned is Staffing Soft I use it, and out of all the systems I have used and tried, it is the best as far as I'm concerned. It's not overkill and you should call them and speak to Michael if you are looking for a new system.
