Jobs, Boston Jobs, Global Opportunities, Employment, Labor, Economics: Candidates message to Sue Hand
Candidates message to Sue Hand
..As a recruiter you can feel like the job never is accomplished, one req opens one closes, one candidate lands an interview another falls short. However, I always try to do what is best for the company, hiring team and the Candidate -- do they qualify, do they truly have a passion for the role, will this be a great match? etc.... Often we never get feedback.
Today, I was feeling a bit down, my last day of a short term contract at a former employer Digitas, and a cold fall day. An email from a star candidate appeared. It was a candidate that I found through boolean search for a CMS role. I needed that niche candidate that borders on Web Development, Creative Architecture, plus Content Management and Business accumen. I found this really different online resume, followed it up with a phone call and landed an interview. The candidate made it to a potential offer phase, but the team won't be ready to make a decision this week. So I left the candidate in the hands of my successor. I also wrote the candidate and followed up with a phone message. Shortly after wrapping up the loose ends, I got the following message! It made my day, year, and effort just feel right.
Thank you Awesome Candidate not only for the compliment, thoughtfulness, and time....but for giving me a bit of sunshine on a cold fall day.
Candidates EMAIL Message to Susan Hand:
Over the years I've grown antennae for what others might call omens but I refer to as "cosmic coincidence." Believe me, I was in no mood for job search when you turned up; I had actually decided that I'd keep the focus on Maria's situation and back off the job search for a week or two. But the way you approached was odd, it made those antennae vibrate: this woman dances to different music than your average corporate recruiter, and that search that led her to the blog couldn't have been a drop kick, the damned thing gets barely a dozen page views a day...something is going on here, something unique and perhaps serendipitous...and her last name, a colloquial synonym for "help" or "helping," and its associations with the idea of guidance and direction. In other words, your appearance made sense at a level that included but also surpassed intellectual and material realms.
So I followed this "Hand" because I felt the presence of real leadership. Now I can count on one hand the number of natural leaders I've encountered in my 20-odd years in corporate America, and you're now among them. That's why I followed you.
Let's stay in touch no matter what becomes of this thing with Digitas. Every so often I head up that way to visit my I Ching teachers in Stow, MA, so maybe we can get to meet one day. In any event, and again regardless of the outcome of this thing, I remain grateful.

WSJ misses the Trends in Recruitment
Joe Light should interview Best Practicioners for his Articles to make sure he doesn't write another Dated piece on Employment Practices. Here are the comments that I exchanged with the WSJ article writer.
Dear WSJ,
You missed the mark on this, its Dated--- Great Recruiters have always gone out to look for candidates, and are skilled at uncovering those not actively searching. The Professional Organizations that count for our world are the AOEP and the ERE reference those articles. The truth is that the Staffing Industry has always been innovative.
Only the traditional paper pushers and untrained recruitment professionals wait around until candidates come to them. Job Boards will always be a source of candidates after all Lets get people back to work and its one way to connect. However, professional recruiters that are smart innovative, curious and just plain Great always hunt for talent whether it is through online resources, networking groups, meetups or in a line at the DrugStore. Get with it!
