Leader, luminary, larger-than-life David Maister posts Screening for Character and draws an interesting set of comments from an international audience on the subjects of screening, interviewing and what-have-you. Rather than quote the post and comments at length, I suggest my friends in the Recruitosphere click over and take a long, hard read. These are our clients talking.
Two more suggestions:
1. A few bloggers in the recruiting bubble might want to take the time every now and then to find opportunities like this one to engage, educate and excite people who exist “in the real world,” readers who might just benefit a little more from our blogging, knowledge and resources than we sometimes do from our own self-absorption and pathological introspection.
2. Leave a comment for David Maister and his readers. Who knows – someone outside of our community may bookmark one of us. David Maister may even reference this eclectic group of bloggers blogging in the bubble in one of his articles. That would be nice.
OK - deal. At a minimum, I’ll add a comment to my blog thread on Screening for Character about your reaction, so that my “gang” will know you are here waiting for them to visit!
The recruiting blog space seems to be so incestuous that I thought (as you did regarding my nudge about “No Comments”) that you’d simply misspelled David Ma*na*ster’s name.
It’s good to know there are a few of us who look outside this narrow pond to see what else is happening in the rest of the space. Thanks for the tip.
