How to know if a Recruiter is any good?
I have been thinking about this question ever since Tim Sackett published his post on an experienced recruiter candidate who had an aberrantly small LinkedIn network. Got me thinking - how small is too small? Lets face it, it WOULD arouse suspicion to see a recruiter candidate without a LinkedIn profile (they do exist!) so it got me thinking about how do we background check when hiring for other recruiters - is there a best way to do it?
- Relevance of LinkedIn
- How valid is social media behaviour?
- Can presence / or lack thereof, say something about the style of recruiter you are getting?
- What other signals can we use, as we obviously cannot trust self reporting?
- Would you conduct your own back-channel references? Is this even legal to do?
- What sorts of questions would you ask a referee, in order to get a good idea as what kind of colleague you are getting?
- Can we create a list of questions to ask referees?
All this and more with Tim Sackett, President (HRU Technical Resources), Ed Han, Senior Recruiter (Cenlar FSB) & Erin Mathew, Senior Sourcer
