Where Is Everyone??

I'm calling calling calling and emailing emailing and emailing again and still can't reach the people I really want to talk with. Seems like the story of my life. However, I know that if I do this enough that results do start showing up.

Am getting closer to having more interested HRMS Functional candidates, may have found a couple of CRM Solutions Architects and still am talking with Apps DBA candidates. But it all takes time and effort. I hope we can wrap a few of these candidates up next week.

I am moving this weekend to the larger apartment next door. We wanted an extra bedroom for whenever our kids want to visit (or to entice them to visit) and this will give us the room for this. Plus, I get to save money because the rent on the larger apartment is actually a little less than extending the lease on my current place. Moving, even just next door, is a real pain though. I am not going to enjoy the next few days. I did learn my lesson long ago though to not try and move the heavy stuff by myself. Now we always get the aid of professional movers to do the heavy furniture.

On one of the recruiting listservs that I belong to, I have been watching the comments from recruiters all around the country on using various ruses during the recruiting process to find and get candidates interested in making a change. To me this practice is unethical and I am strongly against using methods like what I have been reading to source possible candidates. But it is really disturbing and sad to see how many other recruiters out there feel that this is the only way they can succeed in this business. It is no wonder that candidates don't view recruiters with much esteem.
