'I had a guy debating some recruiting matter with me on social media last week.

'Recruiters must evolve. That’s the mantra getting chanted with ever increasing volume around the blogs, speaking circuits and self serving espousals of supposed thought leaders of our industry. It’s also a mantra I have subscribed to, and championed myself, for a number of years now. But has it got us anywhere? Greg Savage (largely agency recruiter focused) says we must become marketeers.

Many employers do not like working with recruitment companies. In markets that employers know well and have social media connections, perhaps it is possible to avoid independent recruiters or at a minimum reduce the dependence on outside agents. When the needs of companies expand beyond a local market and into countries where there is no physical presence, recruitment agencies may be the only way to achieve the results that are needed.

However, when you’re doing a lot of interviews back to back, it’s easy to fall into a routine where you ask the same uninspired interview questions of your candidates. Instead, dig a little deeper and try asking some of these more thought-provoking interview questions : What qualities bother you most in your co-workers?
