Any HireAbility newsletter subscriber in need of a superior resource for generating names of passive candidates for almost any search please read on. I have known these people for many years and have seen their service grow and become even more indispensable to many recruiters over time. Most everyone in our industry knows this service is the “Cadillac” of the “semantic search engine” industry. They have just released a major upgrade to their user interface and I was anxious to have a good look at it.

The flexibility and intuitive nature of the new interface stands out. Personally, I like it a lot more than the previous interface. There is very little training required to become proficient with this service. You can search their database a number of different ways. Actually there are twenty different data characteristics you can screen for.

The two main searches that you might run are for either People or Companies. When People searching, you can search for an individual by name, people with title keywords, people with industry keywords, company size, credentials, date, geography, education, and you can also scrape specific websites for names. When Company searching, you can search by company name, industry, geography and company size.

Here at HireAbility the network is rapidly expanding with over 300 agencies participating together in the Recruiting and Candidate Exchange. Our new technology platform has been rolled out to members with all the features and functionality needed to expand placement activities.

I'm looking forward to seeing you as I tour across America for speaking engagements to deliver recruiting and staffing management training sessions at many of the biggest conferences for our industry.

The Science of Recruiting – Part 10: Closing and Negotiating Offers – Advanced

Sometimes candidates say no. Sometimes they say it when you first call. This isn’t so bad. When they say it when you’re just about to make an offer, or have already made the offer, it is really bad. But don’t lose total hope; there are still some things you can do to try to recover from this fateful event. The Science of Recruiting is, after-all, built on sound principles to guide the recruiter through the landmines and pitfalls of hiring top people.

The recruiter’s job is to ask enough questions to understand the candidate’s reluctance, persuade the candidate to keep an open mind while you get the proof needed, and then convince the candidate to proceed based on this information. Collectively this is the real science of recruiting.

In earlier articles in this Science of Recruiting series we described how to handle early concerns. The key to most of them is to make sure that the candidate has enough information to proceed with the selection process. In some cases, the promise of getting more information is all that’s required to move the candidate along.

The recruiter’s job is to...
