Sorry, I can’t tell you how to get your resume looked at by a recruiter I don’t know at a company I know nothing about – although I can tell you how to bat at least a little better than average, there’s no silver bullet for sourcing for candidates or searching for jobs. Recruiting Never Rests.

Being a recruiter isn’t always easy. We talk a ton about “candidate experience,” but the truth is having a good experience works both ways, really, and most of the time, it’s the candidate treating the recruiter like s**t, not the other way around. Charles de Lint.

There are certain candidates you can place anywhere, and most of the time, you know it more or less immediately. Those are every recruiter’s favorite kind of candidate, which is why a couple years after the fact, Carl still stood out in my mind as one of my better sourcing success stories.

I looked at AIRS, but their programs are pretty general and more focused on sourcing than bigger picture professional competencies or even ethics. Plus, let’s face it, they’re owned by ADP now, and if you’ve ever used VirtualEdge, you know this is not exactly a company that has contemporary recruiting as a core competency.

While frankly, many of those “thought leaders” and “influencers” are just my friends, plain and simple, the fact is when it comes to respect, there are a plethora of sourcers and recruiters doing amazing things every day who, like Rodney, never get respect.
