It's funny how often hiring managers pass all candidate identification responsibility to recruiting and how often recruiters let that happen (we need to talk about partnershipen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#8542719Sat, 24 May 2008 03:04:55 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8542719identifying hiring managers<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://theresa.clearviewlearning.info/identifyinghiringmanagers.html">http://theresa.clearviewlearning.info/identifyinghiringmanagers.html</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8542719" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#8324309Wed, 19 Mar 2008 03:54:50 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8324309Alex<p>Heather,</p> <p>What methods, tools, and resources are Talent Recruiters and Hiring Managers – particularly those at Fortune 500 companies – using to gather their pools of qualified candidates? I’m sure company career sites and employee referrals are popular but I’m wondering if job boards, recruiting/staffing agencies, and job-seeker-centric sites are at all popular as well. What percentage of a typical candidate pool would you say is made up of each or all of these sources?</p> <p>Thanks! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8324309" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#398862Fri, 18 Mar 2005 23:27:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:398862TrackBackSt Louis Recruiting<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=398862" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#398374Fri, 18 Mar 2005 02:24:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:398374TrackBackJobster<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=398374" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#396988Wed, 16 Mar 2005 19:32:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:396988Aaron WeikerI agree completely with you. Then again every job I have ever gotten is through networking and not me submitting my resume. I'm not saying that submitting your resume is bad, but make sure that when you deal with a recruiter that you have a relationship with them. The more the recrutier feels like you are a friend the more likely they are willing to fight for you for that position. This doesn't mean you will get the job, but it helps.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=396988" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#396430Tue, 15 Mar 2005 23:00:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:396430gretchenwell said!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=396430" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#396048Tue, 15 Mar 2005 18:25:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:396048HeatherNope...the recruiter looks in the database, not the manager. I would never say it <br>s a waste of time...we find quality candidates in there. But networking is the best way to find a job (if you are a candidate) and to find a candidate (if you are hiring). <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=396048" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heatherleigh/archive/2005/03/15/396007.aspx#396045Tue, 15 Mar 2005 18:24:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:396045MattHeather, <br>great advise. But you dont suggest looking in to company resume database to find interesting/matching candidates.
