 By: Lauris Renner As recruiters, we have a natural tendency to go easy on our candidates, especially during the first screening. We’d prefer to treat them deferentially, as if they were royalty and we were Barbara Walters. To avoid confrontation, we ask superficial questions and accept clichés for answers. Or worse, we simply tune out the answers we don’t want to hear.
Unfortunately, there’s a downside to "fluff" interviewing: We end up working with a lot of poor-quality job seekers who can potentially wreak havoc on our performance—and our reputation as recruiters.

 Candidate Control: The Key to Recruiting Success By: W.L. Renner Like any other professional service that deals with the public, recruiters continuously struggle with the issue of control. The same way doctors wrestle with “patient control” and lawyers boast about “client control,” so recruiters agonize over “candidate control.”
If you look at recruiting realistically, you’ll recognize that you can no more “control” the actions of another person than you can control a speeding vehicle that’s hydroplaning down the interstate at 70 miles an hour in a driving rainstorm. That is, the force of momentum will to a greater or lesser degree affect the direction your candidate takes, just like it will a 3,000-pound car.

 By: Don Robinson We Work For Money
Every employment choice you make from your first job through retirement effects your career. Let's be real: you work for money. When you have money, you work for causes. People who work in lower paying jobs that have more intrinsic value to them make enough money to sustain themselves doing what they want to do. That's perfectly acceptable--enough money is there to work for that cause.
