"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!.
2 Days After...
I think I have not used all possibilities of "Package 1" to recruit. Maybe next recruitment. In the meantime my advertisement on agency web page expired. Tommorow I will have an apointment with first candidate. I do not
really think he will suitable, but we will see.
Hello!
Back from Sweden. Very nice people ... especially bus drivers.
In Sweden you can see elks on the road, interesting architecture (The Old Town in Stockholm of course) and cleanliness in city centre.
I recommend you sightseeing by boat (the classic way to see Stockholm).
Ok, now I am going to back to reality.
Point of view
I am going to Sweden. I think it is winter in Sweden now. Maybe I can find some good top managers ... maybe not.
Selection
Selection, the best part of my job .... ok, it was a joke of course. But... I shot two applicants and I sent them e-mail "Thank you for your applications but...etc.". After that I chose six other candidates and I proposed them an appointment. To be frank only three applicants seems to be suitable for that job, others - maybe.
