Microsoft Office Professional 2010 blog mark-your-

As we're on the eve of a brand new year (along with a new month), I must get this chance to remind you that January 2005 is “Be Nice to a Recruiter Month.” Put on your party hat now,Office 2007 Professional Plus! What does this mean to you? If you are a Hiring Manager ... Do something nice for your recruiter. Start using a simple,Office 2010 Discount, “Thank you for all your hard work.” If your recruiter works in-house,Office Pro 2007 Key, send a praising email to her manager. In the yr ahead, remember that,Microsoft Office Professional 2010, as easy as it looks, recruiting top talent is not a mindless job (thankless – yes, mindless – no), and for the best recruiters to stay in the business, mutual respect have to be shown. If you are a recruiter’s "prospect" … Be polite. It’s ok to turn a recruiter away, but a little kindness never hurts. In fact, it may help you. If you ever worked having a honestly good recruiter … Look up that person. Send him a quick e-mail and describe the affect your relationship had upon you. You’d be surprised how much impact those little notes of gratitude have upon a recruiter’s outlook. We are all in the “people business,” so when a previous candidate or hiring manager thinks we left a good impression, that high can’t be beat. We remember them and cherish them. (I personally print them out and keep them on my corkboard as a reminder of the positive impact I can have on others.) If you are a recruiter … Tell another recruiter three things you like about his style. What makes that recruiter stand apart from the pack? If you are an angry blogger … Leave the poor recruiter alone unless she actually does something to offend you. Too many times, I read blog posts that attack recruiters who have not yet done any wrong but are automatically grouped with the “naughty” because a few bad apples. Resist the urge. When it doubt, press delete. (I’ll be around the look-out for offenders this month!) ;-) If you have a poor experience having a recruiter … Give the recruiter or his manager or his company this feedback. Deliver your criticism in a constructive manner and ask that improvements be made. Complaining is fine, but make sure you are heard by the people who can affect change.
