by all means call if you want to, but remember - don't be surprised if they can't take the call, we spend all day on the phone to other people, and if you call and leave message leave it at that. don't call 3/4 times a day. just call once - leave a message - if he's worth dealing with he will...- phonemonkey

its quite simple really, i know my market, i know my technologies, i understand my clients needs and my candidates motivations. i do my best to match these things up. with regards to rejecting 97% of suitable applicants of course i do. if i've got 140 responses and around 40 of them are good...- phonemonkey

circa 37% could realistically do the job, as in they could physically carry out the tasks to a reasonable level and would probably get by ok. So its just a case of picking the elite. However, I'll only ever send over 3 CVs max.- phonemonkey

class, my very own thread - this is the stuff of which dreams are made. FYI - all the jobs advertised are real, if you're good enough you may get an interview. However, a lot of people apply so you will have to be very good.- phonemonkey

With regards to just sending off the cheapest so...- phonemonkey

My technical knowledge is of a very high standard, having on several courses related directly to my specialism, and I act as a 1st round of interview process for my clients. The problem is the HR people that we have to deal with are not technical and therefore cannot always see who is best, and...- phonemonkey

imagine you are a recruiting manager or better yet imagine you are a HR cronie who has been asked to resource for a technical position which your only knowledge of is a wish list sent down from the technical manager. You get 3 recruitment consultancies to find you CVs. By the end of the week...- phonemonkey
