Rude candidates vs. Rude recruitment processes

Tip o' the hat to Jason Pankow for this great article on Fistful of Talent: http://fistfuloftalent.com/2013/05/rude-candidates-are-annoying-but-maybe-i-should-be-nicer-to-them.html I do believe that recruiters - yes, you too! - have an obligation to improve the processes used by their employer or client. And a big part of that is manners... What Mom taught us was valuable. And we need to set higher expectations for ourselves on manners in the process of recruiting. It is too easy to fall into bad habits and excuses. Like, everybody does this these days... What a cop out. Take responsibility. Take the time to prep your candidates well. Build a real relationship with them. Talk to them, understand what drives them, and know that they are more than the skills on their resumes. End of sermon for today!
