www.commoditization The Electronic Job Market vs. The HeadhunterWritten by Rob Gladstone
Continued from page 1
One of guys had come up with a great candidate. She had a Harvard MBA, had been with one of best advertising firms, had impeccable references and she was moving to Houston. She had sent her resume to all great companies in area and had come up blank. But, she had sent those resumes to HR departments. As soon as recruiter found out, he got in touch with hiring authorities he knew. Two weeks later, she was working. Two weeks after that, without realizing she was already on board, HR called to tell her they didn't have anything for her. Well, everyone involved in this placement knew what this candidate could and would do for this company. The hiring aurthority wasn't going to let this lady come to town and slip through his fingers. He made a place for her." And that's what gets missed by internet. These judgments don't get posted on job boards. Those decisions don't get made by HR. It starts with people who make things happen. As convenient as internet makes it to track resumes and jobs, job boards are still want ads and HR still can't take place of strategic decision makers that headhunter gets to know. The headhunter is not a resume bank. He or she is a specialist in understanding career and business needs. The headhunter is a builder of human networks.
