We spent  days in Florida returning on Sunday night; it was good to spend time with one another; my wife usually has the pleasure of my son more often than I do and he's 14 now; he won't be around for many more years.

House guests came to visit yesterday; they've been traveling around the US for the past 5 YEARS in their rv and came to Asheville to visit us for a few days. AMAZING! 5 YEARS!

Screw Fit

I love when events conspire to create "a teachable moment." That's what happened this week when two interview debriefs and a magazine article conspired to offer a topic that should cause HR professionals to stop and think instead of follow the yellow brick road thoughtlessly. Here's what happened.

Someone I represented had 7 phone and Skype interviews with hiring managers for an $80000 a year computer security job. They invited him in for an in-person where he met with 4 people who decided he wouldn't fit in their firm. In at least 3 previous interviews a potential start date is discussed. Now it is determined he doesn't "fit."

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.
