Job seekers essentially “shop” around for the right job. They look through job ad after job ad to find the position that sounds just right. Candidates are the customers of your recruitment department; recruiters have to fundamentally sell the role to acquire their desired talent pool… their target market.

To her initial surprise, the response tended to be positive. This struck my colleague (now co-founder at GigPlug ) as something of an analogue approach to crowd-sourcing.

Ohio Employer's Law

One question that employers always ask upon receipt of an EEOC charge of discrimination is, “How does this process work?” After the EEOC concludes its investigation, it has two basic options. It can conclude that no reasonable cause exists that the employer violated Title VII and dismiss the charge (leaving the employee to file his or her own lawsuit in federal court within 90 days), or conclude that reasonable cause does exist (again leaving the employee to file his or her own lawsuit, or instituting a lawsuit on the employee’s behalf). What happens, however, if the EEOC fails to conciliate?

A reader writes: While I try to be understanding of job candidates who give 5-minute responses to several interview questions that should never ever take that long to answer, I just can’t get past it, and it makes me want to fidget uncomfortably. Would it be rude to phrase the first question with, “In 90 seconds or less, please tell us how your work experience relates to the teapot inspector position?” ” I’ve tried a lot of tactics to trim down excessive long-winded responses. Thank you.” Long-windedness in interviews is my pet peeve. But you know what?

Over the past three months, I have had the “opportunity” to spend more time with doctors than I normally do. Fortunately, all is well! But the experience left me with two thoughts: 1. Life is shorter and far more precious than we truly realize. 2. As technically advanced as our nation is, the amount of paperwork we have to fill out each time we see a new doctor, or have a medical procedure done in a new facility, is extremely frustrating, especially when you just want the (typically) unpleasant and nerve-wracking experience to end as quickly as possible.

Screening job candidates, before inviting them to take part in a formal interview, is an essential part of the hiring process. It avoids wasting both the candidate and hiring manager’s time. After all, you can’t meet every single person who applies for a job — especially since an average of 250 resumes are received for each corporate job opening. For starters, they eliminate scheduling conflicts.
