My family is away for about two more weeks attending a  Buddhist festival in the lake country of the U.K.. We always refer to this as, "My three week vacation," although it is anything but a vacation.

I have a number of clients hiring aggressively, am working on a workshop for the 4th quarter of this year and already attended a conference in Charlotte.

I am enjoying myself and working well.

How Do You Evaluate and Select Your Recruiting Sources?

After we moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago, I bought an SUV. I wasn't sure what to buy, so I went on the web, looked at a variety of guides, read reviews from existing owners, examined price at different dealers, found the best price in my area, then looked at service contracts and what the best price was I could get for one before I walked into the dealer's showroom.

All the stories about customers getting into the sales office and getting snowed into overspending didn't happen to me because I learned what I wanted in advance, and shopped for the best price in the two places where I would be charged the most -the car and the service contract.

When the dealer heard my counteroffer on their service contract price, they asked how I determined that amount. I answered, "It's $50 over your cost and the fact is, I'm going to come in here for service anyway so you might as well collect the money from me."

Is your firm trying to hire people?

There are labor shortages for skilled professionals in many fields
and incompetent third party recruiters are being asked to fill these positions? How do I know? I have heard the lament time and again from firms that tell stories of recruiters asking the most mind numbing questions.

"What are the three must haves for this search?

"Is that an absolute requirement?"

"What is the interview process like."

"Are you willing to be flexible on that?

Then they send resumes that in no way shape or form reflect what you've asked for?

  I have filled more than 1200 positions in my career plus many consulting assignments.
