                               If you spam the
                              hiring managers
                              with unqualified
                            candidates*, then
                          you will find yourself

 What environment/companies would you like to see your candidates come
 from? !

 This is a question that you probably should already know, so when you ask,
 make sure you state the ones that are obviously already known. !

 For example, if you are talking to a hiring manager that hires for a SW group
 at a large-scale e-commerce company that needs a PHP web application
 developer, then your question would be re-phrased to: !
 

 !
  Besides PHP/LAMP SW engineering candidates from companies like
 Amazon, Zappos, Ebay, Expedia, Overstock.com, etc, what other company
 experience would you like to see? !

 (This lets the manager know that you 

 understand the technical / competitive 

 landscape, and they will not treat you 

 like some inept recruiter who doesn t 

 understand the different between C++ 

 desktop application development and 

 PHP / C++ web application development.) !

                                                              Req Huddle!

 Now this can be a loaded question, because hiring managers will ALWAYS
 want to find the candidate that fits an exact mold of: !
 !
how     do we do this?!
                                                          Req Huddle!

 Now this can be a loaded question, because hiring managers will ALWAYS

 a)  themselves !

 Now this can be a loaded question, because hiring managers will ALWAYS
 want to find the candidate that fits an exact mold of: !
 !
 a)  themselves !

 b)  the person who vacated the position they re trying to fill. !

4
 The trouble is, this does not allow any job growth for the person that you re
 trying to hire. You can still get these perfect specs and look for them, but
 you will also want to ask your hiring manager if they will take a look at other
 profiles. !
how     do we do this?!
                                                             Req Huddle!

 For example, we had a position for a TMS320F series DSP Engineer
 position in British Columbia that needed to speak Mandarin. But you also
 have to consider some alternate profiles if you can t find the exact one. !
how     do we do this?!
                                                           Req Huddle!




5
 Now, asking blindly about what alternate profiles a hiring manager may
 consider could get you shut down in the conversation. !
 !
how     do we do this?!
                                                             Req Huddle!




5
 Now, asking blindly about what alternate profiles a hiring manager may
 consider could get you shut down in the conversation. !
 !
 !
 Instead, you want to pitch these alternate profiles to the hiring manager
 yourselves. !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 This will come from experience and understanding of the entire industry
 landscape, similar technologies, available candidate pool, and any
 geographic limitations. !

5
 This means that you have to do your research before you start asking
 questions. !
how     do we do this?!
                                                            Req Huddle!

 For example, your client wants an Automation Developer who will create a
 Test Automation Framework in Python. !




               Python                                        Perl
              Developer?                                  Developer?
how     do we do this?!
                                                                Req Huddle!

 For example, your client wants an Automation Developer who will create a
 Test Automation Framework in Python. But will the manager consider
 development in a different language, such as Perl? !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
                Python                                      Perl
 !
               Developer?                                Developer?
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 

 Since the syntax of Python is so similar to Perl, the option might be
 plausible. !
how     do we do this?!
                                                             Req Huddle!




5
 Another example: If your client wants to find a data center Project Manager
 in Iowa, do they understand what the candidate job pool is out there? Your
 client wants the Project Manager to have experience with distributed
 applications in a data center, but will they take a Project Manager with
 experience in a Telecom / Service Provider environment? !
how      do we do this?!
                                                                  Req Huddle!

 Also ask your hiring manager for the resumes of candidates that have been
 hired for this position in the past, or candidates that were offered the job but
 did not take it. !

 Find Those Impossible to Find Candidates! 

 

 

 There are many different approaches to this step. I, along with
 many others have developed different ways that you can get to
 these candidates. But in general:!
find         them now!!
                                                            Start Your Search!




1
    When you start off your search, always get the bulls-eye candidate profiles first. !
    !
    In other words, start with that near-impossible profile that your hiring manager
    described to you. !




                          You call this 
                           a match???
find        them now!!
                                                           Start Your Search!




2
    Use the answers to the questions that you asked the hiring manager to build your
    search. !
find         them now!!
                                                           Start Your Search!




3
    When you envision what this profile looks like, always think of as many variations
    that you can have with this profile. !
    !
find         them now!!

    If your client wants a candidate that can do Risk Assessment for an IT security
    project, then think of the different ways that those candidates describe their
    experience: !

    !
    If your client wants a candidate that can do Risk Assessment for an IT security
    project, then think of the different ways that those candidates describe their
    experience: !


( risk assessment OR risk analysis OR risk analyst OR manage* risk OR
  analyze* risk OR security risk* )

!
find         them now!!
                                                            Start Your Search!

    Also use the answers that you were able to extract to put together your job
    description. !
    !

4
    Also use the answers that you were able to extract to put together your job
    description. !
    !
    As a general rule, your job description should be a summary of what the
    project is, what tools will be used, what responsibilities are covered, what
    management skills are needed, and what educational background is
    required. !
    !
    The description should NOT read like your grocery shopping list. !
turn     up the heat!!
                                              Sense of Urgency!



 Instill a Sense of Urgency and Turn Up the
 Heat!!
 !
 Good recruiters, as we all know, establish a sense of urgency
 with the candidate. But this sense of urgency needs to also be
 conveyed to the hiring manager. !
turn         up the heat!!
                                                           Sense of Urgency!

    If you have a candidate on the hook that is exactly what the hiring manager
    needs, then let the manager know that the candidate will not stick around
    forever. !
turn         up the heat!!
                                                         Sense of Urgency!




2
    How many times have we submitted a candidate to the hiring manager with
    no response, and a couple of months later the hiring manager wants to know
    if the candidate can come down and interview?!
turn         up the heat!!
                                                          Sense of Urgency!




3
    After you finish laughing yourself silly, you might wonder why hiring
    managers think that your candidate will hang around for two, three or FOUR
    months! !


                               Ha ha ha ha… 
                               wait a second,
                                 seriously?
turn          up the heat!!
                                                             Sense of Urgency!




4
    Make sure that you communicate your candidate s uniqueness, availability,
    and offers/companies they are considering. !
    

    !
    And the fact that they are indeed so good, that they will not wait around. !
turn         up the heat!!
                                                           Sense of Urgency!




5
    Don t be afraid to tell the hiring manager these things! Everyone needs a
    new perspective once in a while. And sometimes hiring managers are so
    busy with their own jobs that they sometimes forget to place a little more
    importance on the hiring process until it s too late!!
show         me the money!!
                                                Sense of Urgency!



 Ah yes….money. !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 !
 The hiring manager has a not-so-competitive budget for their
 hires (they are probably not to blame here), and all of the best
 candidates that are a perfect fit for the job are at least 20% over
 budget.!
show         me the money!!
                                                     Sense of Urgency!



 It can be a horrible feeling….like having the winning lotto ticket
 in your pocket, but stranded on a desert island with no way off! !



                                  But why is the
                                   rum gone?!?!
show         me the money!!
                                                Sense of Urgency!



 Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of
 the best talent in the area. !
 !
 !
show         me the money!!
                                                Sense of Urgency!



 Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of
 the best talent in the area. !
 !
 !
 If the best candidates are slightly over budget, and there is
 absolutely no one else, then you need to communicate that to
 the hiring managers. !
 !
show         me the money!!
                                                Sense of Urgency!



 Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of
 the best talent in the area. !
 !
 !
 If the best candidates are slightly over budget, and there is
 absolutely no one else, then you need to communicate that to
 the hiring managers. !
 

 !
 Just make sure that this is true, because if a competing agency
 or another recruiter finds a candidate within budget, then
 you ve lost your credibility. !
casey          at the bat!!




 Go to bat for your candidates! If you successfully screen your
 candidates and you see that they have the right experience,
 then push to get that candidate in front of the hiring manager. !

    This could be anything from a simple candidate write up:!
casey              at the bat!!

    This could be anything from a simple candidate write up:!
    !
    •  10 years Project Management experience

    !
    •  Worked at Time Warner Cable managing a server farm build-out to support TWC
    application/video servers

    !
    •  Active PMP Certification

    !
    •  Linux/Unix systems experience 

    !
    • Actively interviewing, expecting offers next week!
    !
casey               at the bat!!

    …To a phone call to the manager explaining what the candidate landscape is,
    what candidates are available, and why your candidate can do the job. !

    …To a phone call to the manager explaining what the candidate landscape is,
    what candidates are available, and why your candidate can do the job. 

    

    !
    !
    Again, if you know the job 

    functions, competitive industry 

    space, technology, and geographic 

    candidate pool is, then you can 

    make your case with decisiveness. !
make          sure you…!
                                                                 Feedback!


 Make sure that if your candidate does not get hired, that you find out as
 much information as to why.!
 

 !
 !
 This will only help you in refining your search.!
 !
 !
 !
 Just like any person in the world, the hiring manager can also change their
 minds about what they are looking for!!
 !
in SUMMARY
             WHAT DID WE LEARN?
in SUMMARY


  •  Just like with candidates, you sometimes have to set expectations with
  the hiring manager. !


  •  By asking all of the right questions in the req huddle, you can be a step
  ahead of the competition. Do your research! Know the job! !


  •  Understand when you have a good candidate profile in hand. !
in SUMMARY

  landscape for that particular search. !
  !
  !
  •  If your candidate is worth it and you believe they are the one, then go to
  bat for them. !
  !
  !

  question and answer sessions that you spend with them. !

  • 21. how do we do this?!
  • 22. it all starts ! with the req…!
  • 23. it all starts ! with the req…! 1 Whether you are an internal recruiter, a staffing coordinator, a VMS partner, or a contingent recruiter, you need to get the right information out of the hiring manager. !
  • 24. it all starts ! with the req…! 1 Whether you are an internal recruiter, a staffing coordinator, a VMS partner, or a contingent recruiter, you need to get the right information out of the hiring manager. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! When you start working any requisition, your first order of business should be an initial Req Huddle . This meeting is crucial, no matter what type of recruiting that you do.!
  • 25. how do we do this?! •  What are the items of information that we typically gather from a job description? ! !
  • 26. how do we do this?! •  What are the items of information that we typically gather from a job description? ! •  Do they tell us everything that we need to know? ! !
  • 27. how do we do this?! •  What are the items of information that we typically gather from a job description? ! •  Do they tell us everything that we need to know? ! •  Are they specific enough? Or are they too general? !
  • 28. how do we do this?! •  What are the items of information that we typically gather from a job description? ! •  Do they tell us everything that we need to know? ! •  Are they specific enough? Or are they too general? ! •  Is the fear of missing any job seekers causing the company/hiring manager to create generally vague descriptions that seem impossible to fill? !
  • 29. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! These are the key elements that will help you get the right information from your hiring manager when working a new req:! ! ! ! !
  • 30. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 1 Why has this position been created? What need are we trying to fill? ! ! ! !
  • 31. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 1 Why has this position been created? What need are we trying to fill? ! ! ! ! 2 What is the product being developed, or what is the project that is being worked on / managed? !
  • 32. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 3 What environment/companies would you like to see your candidates come from? ! ! This is a question that you probably should already know, so when you ask, make sure you state the ones that are obviously already known. ! !
  • 33. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 3 For example, if you are talking to a hiring manager that hires for a SW group at a large-scale e-commerce company that needs a PHP web application developer, then your question would be re-phrased to: ! 
 ! Besides PHP/LAMP SW engineering candidates from companies like Amazon, Zappos, Ebay, Expedia, Overstock.com, etc, what other company experience would you like to see? ! 
 !
  • 34. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 3 For example, if you are talking to a hiring manager that hires for a SW group at a large-scale e-commerce company that needs a PHP web application developer, then your question would be re-phrased to: ! 
 ! Besides PHP/LAMP SW engineering candidates from companies like Amazon, Zappos, Ebay, Expedia, Overstock.com, etc, what other company experience would you like to see? ! 
 
 ! (This lets the manager know that you 
 understand the technical / competitive 
 landscape, and they will not treat you 
 like some inept recruiter who doesn t 
 understand the different between C++ 
 desktop application development and 
 PHP / C++ web application development.) !
  • 35. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 4 What are the qualifications for your perfect candidate profile? ! !

  • 37. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 4 Now this can be a loaded question, because hiring managers will ALWAYS want to find the candidate that fits an exact mold of: ! ! a)  themselves !
  • 38. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 4 Now this can be a loaded question, because hiring managers will ALWAYS want to find the candidate that fits an exact mold of: ! ! a)  themselves ! b)  the person who vacated the position they re trying to fill. ! !
  • 39. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 4 The trouble is, this does not allow any job growth for the person that you re trying to hire. You can still get these perfect specs and look for them, but you will also want to ask your hiring manager if they will take a look at other profiles. !
  • 40. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 4 For example, we had a position for a TMS320F series DSP Engineer position in British Columbia that needed to speak Mandarin. But you also have to consider some alternate profiles if you can t find the exact one. !
  • 41. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 Now, asking blindly about what alternate profiles a hiring manager may consider could get you shut down in the conversation. ! !
  • 42. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 Now, asking blindly about what alternate profiles a hiring manager may consider could get you shut down in the conversation. ! ! ! Instead, you want to pitch these alternate profiles to the hiring manager yourselves. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This will come from experience and understanding of the entire industry landscape, similar technologies, available candidate pool, and any geographic limitations. ! !
  • 43. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 This means that you have to do your research before you start asking questions. !
  • 44. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 For example, your client wants an Automation Developer who will create a Test Automation Framework in Python. ! Python Perl Developer? Developer?
  • 45. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 For example, your client wants an Automation Developer who will create a Test Automation Framework in Python. But will the manager consider development in a different language, such as Perl? ! ! ! ! ! ! Python Perl ! Developer? Developer? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 
 Since the syntax of Python is so similar to Perl, the option might be plausible. !
  • 46. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 5 Another example: If your client wants to find a data center Project Manager in Iowa, do they understand what the candidate job pool is out there? Your client wants the Project Manager to have experience with distributed applications in a data center, but will they take a Project Manager with experience in a Telecom / Service Provider environment? !
  • 47. how do we do this?! Req Huddle! 6 Also ask your hiring manager for the resumes of candidates that have been hired for this position in the past, or candidates that were offered the job but did not take it. !
  • 48. find them now!! Start Your Search! Find Those Impossible to Find Candidates! 
 
 
 There are many different approaches to this step. I, along with many others have developed different ways that you can get to these candidates. But in general:!
  • 49. find them now!! Start Your Search! 1 When you start off your search, always get the bulls-eye candidate profiles first. ! ! In other words, start with that near-impossible profile that your hiring manager described to you. ! You call this a match???
  • 50. find them now!! Start Your Search! 2 Use the answers to the questions that you asked the hiring manager to build your search. !
  • 51. find them now!! Start Your Search! 3 When you envision what this profile looks like, always think of as many variations that you can have with this profile. ! !
  • 52. find them now!! Start Your Search! 3 When you envision what this profile looks like, always think of as many variations that you can have with this profile. ! ! If your client wants a candidate that can do Risk Assessment for an IT security project, then think of the different ways that those candidates describe their experience: !
  • 53. find them now!! Start Your Search! 3 When you envision what this profile looks like, always think of as many variations that you can have with this profile. ! ! If your client wants a candidate that can do Risk Assessment for an IT security project, then think of the different ways that those candidates describe their experience: ! ( risk assessment OR risk analysis OR risk analyst OR manage* risk OR analyze* risk OR security risk* )
 !
  • 54. find them now!! Start Your Search! 4 Also use the answers that you were able to extract to put together your job description. ! !
  • 55. find them now!! Start Your Search! 4 Also use the answers that you were able to extract to put together your job description. ! ! As a general rule, your job description should be a summary of what the project is, what tools will be used, what responsibilities are covered, what management skills are needed, and what educational background is required. ! ! The description should NOT read like your grocery shopping list. !
  • 56. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! Instill a Sense of Urgency and Turn Up the Heat!! ! Good recruiters, as we all know, establish a sense of urgency with the candidate. But this sense of urgency needs to also be conveyed to the hiring manager. !
  • 57. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! 1 If you have a candidate on the hook that is exactly what the hiring manager needs, then let the manager know that the candidate will not stick around forever. !
  • 58. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! 2 How many times have we submitted a candidate to the hiring manager with no response, and a couple of months later the hiring manager wants to know if the candidate can come down and interview?!
  • 59. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! 3 After you finish laughing yourself silly, you might wonder why hiring managers think that your candidate will hang around for two, three or FOUR months! ! Ha ha ha ha… wait a second, seriously?
  • 60. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! 4 Make sure that you communicate your candidate s uniqueness, availability, and offers/companies they are considering. ! 
 ! And the fact that they are indeed so good, that they will not wait around. !
  • 61. turn up the heat!! Sense of Urgency! 5 Don t be afraid to tell the hiring manager these things! Everyone needs a new perspective once in a while. And sometimes hiring managers are so busy with their own jobs that they sometimes forget to place a little more importance on the hiring process until it s too late!!
  • 62. show me the money!! Sense of Urgency! Ah yes….money. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The hiring manager has a not-so-competitive budget for their hires (they are probably not to blame here), and all of the best candidates that are a perfect fit for the job are at least 20% over budget.!
  • 63. show me the money!! Sense of Urgency! It can be a horrible feeling….like having the winning lotto ticket in your pocket, but stranded on a desert island with no way off! ! But why is the rum gone?!?!
  • 64. show me the money!! Sense of Urgency! Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of the best talent in the area. ! ! !
  • 65. show me the money!! Sense of Urgency! Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of the best talent in the area. ! ! ! If the best candidates are slightly over budget, and there is absolutely no one else, then you need to communicate that to the hiring managers. ! !
  • 66. show me the money!! Sense of Urgency! Make sure to do your due diligence and decisively identify all of the best talent in the area. ! ! ! If the best candidates are slightly over budget, and there is absolutely no one else, then you need to communicate that to the hiring managers. ! 
 ! Just make sure that this is true, because if a competing agency or another recruiter finds a candidate within budget, then you ve lost your credibility. !
  • 67. casey at the bat!! Go to bat for your candidates! If you successfully screen your candidates and you see that they have the right experience, then push to get that candidate in front of the hiring manager. !
  • 68. casey at the bat!! 1 This could be anything from a simple candidate write up:!
  • 69. casey at the bat!! 1 This could be anything from a simple candidate write up:! ! •  10 years Project Management experience
 ! •  Worked at Time Warner Cable managing a server farm build-out to support TWC application/video servers
 ! •  Active PMP Certification
 ! •  Linux/Unix systems experience 
 ! • Actively interviewing, expecting offers next week! !
  • 70. casey at the bat!! 2 …To a phone call to the manager explaining what the candidate landscape is, what candidates are available, and why your candidate can do the job. ! !
  • 71. casey at the bat!! 2 …To a phone call to the manager explaining what the candidate landscape is, what candidates are available, and why your candidate can do the job. 
 
 ! ! Again, if you know the job 
 functions, competitive industry 
 space, technology, and geographic 
 candidate pool is, then you can 
 make your case with decisiveness. !
  • 72. make sure you…! Feedback! Make sure that if your candidate does not get hired, that you find out as much information as to why.! 
 ! ! This will only help you in refining your search.! ! ! ! Just like any person in the world, the hiring manager can also change their minds about what they are looking for!! !
  • 73. in SUMMARY WHAT DID WE LEARN?
  • 74. in SUMMARY •  Just like with candidates, you sometimes have to set expectations with the hiring manager. ! •  By asking all of the right questions in the req huddle, you can be a step ahead of the competition.
