Your Experiences with Recruiters?

Posted by Cliff on from the odd-but-interesting-hiring-practices dept.

companyAdvocate asks "I work in a small, high end IT consultancy. We are currently on a large recruitment drive and our targets are very ambitious. We are looking into alternative, original and cost-effective ways of hiring talented people. Google's billboard ad comes to mind. As we are a consultancy, we need good communicators as well as techies and raising the company profile may be an added bonus. What is the Slashdot community's experience with alternative recruitment methods? Were you hired in an exciting or interesting way? How do you make even rejected candidates leave with a positive impression?"

    Throw a party with an IMAX version of the Matrix. Offer free beer and food in exchange for a resume. Advertise on Slashdot and Dr Dobbs.

    That should do it.
