Office Professional 2010 blog recruiter-cold-calls
 

As various of you realize, among the missions of my team here at Microsoft is to uncover and appeal to what we call “passive candidates” … that is, persons who have not applied to Microsoft or, for that matter, have never expressed interest in looking for a new job at all. It’s all that behind the scenes detective work you never see. My teammates and I are looking at how best to approach the passive candidate community while still maintaining a high-level of customer service (black hole be damned!),Office Professional 2010, and since you all always provide me with such candid feedback, I developed a little (entirely anonymous) survey to gather your thoughts. If you are interested in helping provide feedback on this model before it is fully realized, click here to answer a few questions. We’d love to hear from everyone … active candidates, passive candidates, confused candidates … even current Microsoft employees. I hear many funny recruiter cold-call stories from MS employees … that is for sure. Thanks as always!
gretchen P.S. I signed up for a trial membership of zoomerang so only the first 100 respondents can record answers. If a see numerous interest in surveys like this, I'll look into signing up for a more permanent solution. P.P.S. Remember ... check out the survey! Leaving comments right here is fine, but I have specific questions in the survey.
