Simon. You seem like a nice guy. What if I suggested candidates are customers and just that important 50/50 relationship, got it? How does two days of 8 hour interviews serve the customer?
How come brilliant people, engineers of all people, can't figure out and endorse recruiting as a binary safe function. I mean, for example, why not set up two-person team interviews leaving the candidate 4 hours free the first day. Or. Novel idea. Let them go to lunch while you all pow wow and let them know face to face and with honesty why they are free the rest of their stay. Help them. Can't you do that?
Why has it become an acceptable practice to "subject" candidates to so much. Honest to pete, I've taken to ordering soup just so I can swallow.
Gah-dang. The kid missed school? I would have thought of that. I would have cared. I would have found a way to make it happen. How caring it might have been for one recruiter to take a stance in what is in the best interest of the candidate. "Simon, I've got this green bean. He's still in school. He's got x and I believe in him. There's something about him. I was wondering if your part of it could be done over the phone." Win/win. 50/50. Respect.
I will sit on the sidelines no more because I "can" get up now for all of us and shout, "Stop doing it!" Probably because there's nothing stuck in my teeth from lunch, where I still couldn't relax because it was an interview. Does the candidate know that? I didn't at a high tech company in Seattle and it was unpleasant. I couldn't wait to get away. Simon, are you Sergei in disguise? There's a certain happiness in what you've written thus far.
Query: What is the difference between the public library system and Google? How many differences can you cite? I'll give it an amateur's go: trade secrets? It's not my privacy rights GOOG is trying to protect. It's "crown jewel trade secrets" so they say and public image.
Don't be fooled by warm and cuddley. Everything GOOG does is for the protection of their revenue stream: advertising.
Look at the original business model for Gmail before the State of California took action.
Silence enables abuse.
Imagine you are the recruiter on a job hunt and having to deal with recruiters.
One might think it's just. Perhaps you think I learned something. I did.
Fact: I may conclude I am one of the best recruiters, something long told always internally doubted. It's just my way.
Perhaps you think it's sour grapes she didn't get the job but the data speaks within the 600+ posts attached. I wonder was it, is it, the demand for people that seemingly allowed so many bad people into recruiting positions?
And. What's with the recruiting process at high tech companies? Recruiting is not about the Model T. My happiest day at a high tech company was being freed from the sourcing specialist and also being "allowed" to stay with the techie all the way through the process.
Maybe I am just expressing angst. I am upset. What are recruiters my "colleagues" doing to people.
In a recent interview with one of the biggest draws, I was asked how I would let go of a candidate. I began, "Well by that point we are a team."
I failed. The concept was alien. The deeper part? I was loved, she was not. It got worse.
I love what I do. I'm really good at it. For what it's worth it's an honor.
