Numerous viewers have sent me the recent Ny Times write-up about Google’s most recent hiring practice of getting candidates fill out an “elaborate over the internet survey that explores their attitudes,Windows 7 Pro Product Key, behavior,Microsoft Office Standard 2007, character and biographical particulars heading back again to substantial school”. Some readers (and internal Microsoft employees) have even written to tell me they think this is a great idea and have wondered if Microsoft should do a similar thing. So, let me tell you - I think it’s a rotten idea. As the New york Occasions write-up states,Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, these tools “have mainly been the trademark of large corporations recruiting armies of similar workers, like telephone service representatives or insurance sales agents”. Mass screening and filtering tools do streamline the process for the company, but they are built on a certain arrogance that someone already wants your job enough to wade through your personal questionnaire while gaining little information in exchange. Microsoft is sometimes guilty of a similar practice that I equally dislike - internally we call it the “e-screen”. Have you gotten an “e-screen”? It’s an email interview in which you answer a variety of questions but don’t actually talk to a real person. Saying I hate e-screens is an understatement - I despise them - and if I had my way,Windows 7 Code/, we would never use them. I think the best candidates know their worth and want to receive some information about the job and company before ever offering up their personal information in exchange. So, I wish Google (and all of the others who rely on impersonal interviewing tools) the best of luck,Office Standard 2010 Key, but I’m sticking to the belief that quality candidates want a quality experience. -Jenna
