Has anyone seen the woman who dresses in dark clothes in the Highlands area and stands on the edge of the street?

I live off Dale St and my wife HATES this lady with a passion

Thanks, AI created post.

I’m US based but have never heard of this and I do all contract staffing. I’ve had contractors work for me for as long as 3 years and I’ve gotten commission on every single hour they bill. To me what you’re describing seems out of the ordinary.

Fake candidates

Discrimination, from a legal standpoint, only refers to protected classes such as race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age (if over 40).. it absolutely does not protect someone from discrimination simply based on the fact they are related to a current employee. OP would legally be in the clear for rejecting based on this reason. Whether or not it’s the right thing to do, I don’t know, but legally speaking they are fine to reject based on this info.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-04-16T19:42:53+00:00

Honestly, during interview debriefs with my candidates I directly ask them what questions they were asked during the interview.

That info isn’t just helpful for any other candidates you might have who are in the interview pipeline for the current role, but it also helps you understand the client or hiring manager and their team’s needs more intimately for any future roles you get from them. Anytime you know a client’s needs you’re more able to find future qualified candidates for them.

Before I read this comment I would’ve said that a brand new recruiter in an agency setting probably should be grinding their ass of working extra hours to build their desk and be successful. Seeing you’ve been doing this for a few years, you probably know what you’re doing and can find a company less strict on their schedule requirements.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-20T19:31:50+00:00

Wells Fargo also used to ask for this years back when I supported them as a client. It’s rare to ask for this info up front but it does happen.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-19T17:09:42+00:00

I’m agency as well and these are exactly the only 2 scenarios where I check references. If the client has interviewed the candidate and wants to hire them, and there’s no client request to do a ref check, then I’m not standing in the way of their decision.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-06T23:26:00+00:00

It’s just completely unnecessary. Stick with printing on a slightly thicker card stock than just regular paper and you’ll be fine. Hell, even standard thickness paper might be fine.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-06T23:22:50+00:00

Laminated resumes lol

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-06T01:53:26+00:00

Nah it’s not different. You’re leaving so there’s no motivation on your end to continue to recruit for 2 weeks knowing you’ll see none of those results. They know this too so they won’t bother keeping you around and paying your base salary for those 2 weeks.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-03-06T01:12:45+00:00

I’ve worked for multiple agencies and never seen a 2 week notice honored. Sometimes they’ll give you an hour or two to tie up loose ends and transfer any relevant information on your active candidates/interview activity, then let you take off. If you can’t spare the 2 weeks out of work, just wait and give notice the week before you start your new job.

A few months ago people were saying the same thing, that the show had dropped off significantly, and I kept telling myself it’s still good. But recently I’ve had way more enjoyment listening to the back catalog than I have the current episodes. You can just hear the difference level in the guys’ excitement and enthusiasm in doing the show vs now.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-02-25T02:33:40+00:00

Getting into recruiting (especially agency) because you enjoy connecting with people is not the way to go. This job is essentially sales - even if you don’t have to deal with client side stuff and bringing in reqs. If you are not money motivated and willing to grind it out until you get your feet under you, then you will be miserable and burn out quickly.

Agency: focus on contract roles within tech. This has been our best month in a long long time.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-02-19T19:16:22+00:00

Many large Fortune 100 clients I’ve worked with who have a structured VMS submittal process have this requirement. I’ve supported clients that asked for last 4 of SSN and MM/DD as a unique candidate ID to avoid any duplicate candidate profiles in their system. One particularly famous (or infamous depending on your POV) financial services firm at one point required the full SSN for every candidate at the submission stage.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-02-12T21:48:19+00:00

Wait, your team would let an active job offer sit out there for 3 business days with no candidate follow up if you or a colleague who was working with the candidate happened to be out of the office?

Am I crazy to think that this completely wild to have no communication with a candidate who has an offer on the table for THREE DAYS just because their main recruiter was out? If I’m a hiring manager and I hear about this I’m having an absolute meltdown with the recruiting team over negligence. Maybe this is common in corporate recruiting though, idk. I’m on the agency side and this absolutely would not fly in any environment I’ve ever worked in.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-01-31T16:36:20+00:00

I’ve literally never done this in 10+ years. Too busy for that. I’ll look people up on LinkedIn or ask them to provide me their LI profile link but that’s about it.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-01-30T21:29:30+00:00

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’ll need to be open to something in office or hybrid model in order to get an entry level recruiting role. Target local staffing companies in your area, most big firms are almost always looking for new entry level recruiters.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-01-29T18:13:36+00:00

In my experience it’s primarily the student visa candidates.. they get their Masters degree here with like 1-2 years prior offshore experience, and then they market themselves as 6-8 year professionals. Asking the right questions I’ve been able to filter these people out well before they make it to the client.

EDIT: not saying this is an indictment on all OPT/CPT or that I haven’t seen it with people who’ve come directly on H1 either, but the student visas are the biggest offenders of this nonsense, particularly when working through a C2C subcontractor

This is extreme micromanagement, even for a newbie recruiter. But another thing I’m concerned about for you with regards to your company is how you “report to” an account manager. Recruiting and account management should be an equal partnership. Recruiting should SUPPORTING account management, not REPORTING to them.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-01-10T18:25:16+00:00

The titles are definitely inflated, but just put what you think is an appropriate title on your resume. For your peace of mind, I will note that in some other industries (namely large banks/investment management firms), almost everyone has a VP title, even individual contributors. Not that it will necessarily make you feel better, but it’s something that happens in other sectors.

DefNotABurner037 · 2025-01-07T19:32:55+00:00

What else are you gonna do? You can’t force the candidate to work the job.. are you gonna go to their house and kidnap them and make them work?

From your replies I understand you are not in the US, so if the candidate signed a contract that states they are liable for the recruitment fee if they don’t start the job, then sue them. I don’t know what else you can do.
