"Landscape After the Battle"
Now I think that Internet recruitment is good way of recruitment. Why? Because is cheaper (spend less money than traditional recruitment) and faster (you have to print nothing and you send your advertisement on the web page and in few minutes just read it).
Now situatution is: 2 candidates - "young" and "old" one. Who win?
"Please, do not let me be misunderstood"
It was big misunderstanding ... that candidate of course. I was waiting for this man,
but he did not come. "Why? - I said when I was calling him. Because - he said - now I am using another e-mail address from that I wrote in my CV."
.... no comments please...
3rd interview
Tommorow will be 3rd interview. Earlier I have sent an e-mail to candidate with all necessary information about appointment. Maybe he will be the best man.
"Internet Recruitment" - from WWW
In just the last few years, the Internet has become a very powerful recruiting tool. It can provide cost-effective access to a significant number of professionals both within and outside of higher education. In a recent survey sponsored by JWT Specialized Communications, the results indicated that “job seekers are increasingly surfing the Web for work, with 70% [of respondents indicating that they are] more likely to use the Internet than traditional methods….”

Il cattivo
The Ugly man has entered. 33 years old, polytechnic graduate, he likes fishing in freetime (somebody tells me what is fascinating in fishing? because I do not know... ok, it does not matter). He would like to go to Master Business Administration program (what? -
AM
EBA? - next ambitious man ... God bless you).
But... he was interesting. He was calm, self-confident, answered brief, businesslike. After 3 candidates presentations, in my opinion he was the best.
On 2th October it will be next contestant.
Tough is not enough
Second candidates. Tough guy, tall and he was looked like judo contestant or wrestler. He is 48, polytechnic graduate and also postgraduate studies. Curriculum Vitae looks great, many years professional experience (but!!! in only one company), two languages (we were speaking in one), good knowledge of computer programs. But, I think he did not want to change the job, he wanted to present only his own person and CV. And, what was strange - he had computer presentation about his present employer (it has happend first time in my life) - many, many pages of boring presentation. But after that "amazing" presentation he was terrified when we were walking around the company (especially production department). I do not really know why, there are only 1 thousand people.
Sorry "tough guy" - tough is not enough.
"Advantages of Internet recruitment" - from WWW
On any measure, online recruitment is now a viable option for many industries.
At best, the Internet is a stand-alone solution, but it can enhance a
recruitment campaign by complementing more traditional media, including
newspapers, direct mail or radio.
So what advantages are gained by using
the Internet as a recruitment vehicle?
The Internet provides
unprecedented accuracy in targeting - by age, location, day of week and
profession. Even issues which are top-of-mind can be used to reach the relevant
audience, for example, when someone types in a 'search term' to conduct an
online search.
The Internet also enables the recruiter to take advantage
of the strong association between the user and their regular web sites, in a
similar way to an advertiser capitalising on the affinity between a magazine and
its readership. [...]

An appointment
K.D., aged 33, first candidate. He was enthusiastic, knew much about new technologies, Internet
and marketing, higher education in Economics, not fluent in English... but he wanted to present himself only. He was not suitable for this position. I am looking for production top manager (I have not mentioned that earlier, but all applicants knew about it). I think he was sales manager rather than production manager.
Go away!.
