Companies that have a higher purpose will also attractive better candidates. As a candidate it is your responsibility to understand this purpose and then ensure that it aligns with you. If it doesn't you won't be happy and will not last long. Brad Remillard This is a valid point. Companies that have a higher purpose will also attractive better candidates.

I believe that recruiting and human resources are two of the most important functions in any organization -- at least conceptually, they should be. Unfortunately, these two functions are usually not staffed by the most capable people. I know I'm going to offend a lot of people by saying this, but I honestly believe that if every recruiter and HR person have the kind of value, skills, and sense of responsibilities like you, we'll have a much better professional world. Also, too often recruiters treat the recruiting process as a transaction -- screen some candidates, get someone hired, get commission, have lunch with the candidate, get connected with the candidate on linkedin, and then the process is over. Recruiter has the unique opportunity to play a much larger role in every job candidate's professional life -- no corporation will take care of individuals today. Every professional needs a life-long career coach to look after him/her, to help identify the next opportunity while the candidate is still employed, and provide coaching/feedback to the candidates' ongoing career progress. I'm so glad to find your blog -- I've read every single post you have on your blog, and it is very inspiring. I have long believed that job creation and helping people grow their careers are the most meaningful jobs in the world. I'm glad that I find someone who shares the passion. cheers, GeekMBA360 Excellent post.
