Surprise! Guess What?

The question came, late morning in one of my on-site telephone names sourcing (MagicMethod) presentations, from a pretty young woman who appeared to be in her mid twenties sitting at the back of the room in the last row of a room of fifty or so, and it took me by surprise.

"What are we full-cycle recruiters supposed to take away from all of this?"

Best resources to find passive candidates outside U.S.?

James Finder, Sourcer at PeopleOps Consulting asks, over on LinkedIn:
What are the best resources to find passive candidates outside the United States?
I am familiar with using Monster in its international capacity, but would like to ask my LinkedIn community what resources and best practices are used to find passive candidates outside of the United States. Thank you and I look forward to reading your answers. Especially in Europe and Asia (Pacific Rim, China, Japan, and SE Asia). See answers in this discussion.

Rusing - the argument that won't go away!

Ask a simple question - get some MAJOR complicated answers!

Rusing, uhhhh, "discussion" breaking out here over on the Yahoo Sourcers Unleashed group. Answers listed below original post on site so be sure to scroll down and also be sure to add your own opine!

Hi! Is there a website that lists "recruiter's ruse" tips and tricks that I can use to dial into a company to trick the front desk into letting me speak to "the development lead"? Thanks! ~Stuart

"I have listened to the "to ruse or not to ruse" argument several times and always find it interesting. Whether you like it or not, Researchers/Sourcers ruse. If you are using the telephone for research, you are rusing. Unless you are calling into the "gatekeeper" saying, Hi, my name is John Smith (no relation to Paul of course). I'm a Researcher/Sourcer working for one of your main competitors and I'm trying to get the name of your top sales people or top engineers (or whatever position you are trying to fill) you are rusing! You are not being 100% truthful. What would happen if you stated the REAL reason you were calling? The "Gatekeeper" would hang up on you. Just because you are NOT making up a story, doesn't mean you are not rusing. By eliminating information from the Gatekeeper you are creating a ruse. The definition of the word ruse is: an action or plan which is intended to deceive someone. By calling into a company for the purpose of finding employee names and titles and NOT revealing this fact when you first call into the Gatekeeper is an attempt to deceive. To deceive is to ruse. So, unless you are telling every Gatekeeper or person on the other end of the phone that you are a Researcher or Sourcer and are looking for the names of their employees for the recruiting team or for their competitors, you are rusing." ~ Barb

Splits – To Do or Not To Do?

I feel compelled to respond to Vincent Wright's ERE posting because, lately, many sourcers are coming to me telling me they're being propositioned w/ "split" deals to do the upfront research on searches.

I tell them I would not do it.

I also must confess most of my adult working life has been spent in a commission-only space.

Let me tell my story.

Whoa! Google "identifying" hackers?

This is interesting! Seems to me Google is painting with a pretty wide brush when they send Dorothy a message like this - I know Dorothy and she's no hacker!

Discussion started over on ERE 8/12/2008, 6:38 a.m. by Dorothy Beach, CIR
Google telling me I am a hacker?
"For the second time in as many weeks Google is telling me I am a possible hacker in a message displayed after adding a year range to a search string. Both times I added "2007..2008" - the only change to a string that produced results before. Is there any way I can get around this message being generated and still use the date parameter? Has anyone else encountered this?" ~ Dorothy Beach, CIR

Name Recognition

An Advanced Networked Video Surveillance Systems Provider is asking, over on LinkedIn, about video surveillance and can it improve profits? At first glance the whole thing felt kind of creepy but looking at the answers I noticed this one:

Sure - a resounding yes. With license plate recognition technologies we paved the way for road toll collection..."

I took a second look and wondered out loud what would happen if license plate recognition technology could be used to capture names of employees whose cars are parked in any one company's parking lot. Hmmmm? Sure, you'll miss a few (visitors, etc) but WOWoWOW!
