Animal Show Wed NOON EST

Featuring the Animal Panel and anyone else who shows up

For all call in and listening information, go here www.recruitingshow.com

Some of the topics we might discuss:

1. Dennis is calling the recruiters who work for him Technical Talent Executives. What do you think?

2. I listened to Mason Wong the head recruiter at Seagate. He says he's doubling his recruiting staff. How's that possible during a recession?

3. What is a Consultative Recruiting Practice. Apparently it's like consultative selling. Pretending your an expert and sucking up.

4. Six Sigma in recruiting. It's a method to study the process in order to plan for improvement. You measure each step of the way. Lean methods in recruiting. What does that mean?

5. Neal Bruce says that recruiting is a noble profession. John Sumser apparently agrees. He says that recruiters go into the profession to help people.

6. What are the main candidate complaints about interviews?

7. Sales are not rational. The emotional experience is important. Selling people on jobs is not rational.

7b. Dealing with people who are really nice to you, who go crazy about customer service when you are in their care is really important.

7c. You need to tell a good story. Most recruiters don't put enough energy into structuring a good story and practice telling it.

7d. You have to believe in your product and you have to be charismatic to get others to believe.

8. Can you describe the recruiting process if I ask you to do so without any preparation?
