Two guests today. 

1. @TylerAdobe felt violated when a recruiter called him at work. And when a recruiter emailed at work, he found that jarring. It was so upsetting he wrote an article about it. -- Tyler on LINKEDIN 

I was sitting in our corporate offices in a training session with 20 of my colleagues when my phone rang. It was a recruiter. It felt violating for the call to come through one of my employer's official channels.

This week, I received a recruiting email on my official Adobe email. Having this email show up in my corporate inbox was jarring.

@AlaRecruiter -- LINKEDIN -- 

"We've all worked with the hiring manager who says, 'Here's my job. I'm going to have ten interviews by Friday right?' No, it's up to us as recruiters to say, "Here's what you can realistically expect from me. I'm going to need three weeks. Are you open to that?"

"The average hiring manager has no idea of how the sausage is made so maybe we should share that a little more. I'm a big fan of telling you what you are going to do not what you want me to do. How would that resonate with you?"

"Mr hiring manager I will give this search as much priority as you do". If you have a hiring manager who doesn't have time to spend with you, it is not a priority for them. And if it is not a priority for him, why should it be for you? If you cannot do your job without a certain level of engagement from the hiring manager, why are you killing yourself on this search?"

I approached Amy at a time in my life when I was very frustrated and unhappy with the work I had been doing. Amy took it upon herself to help me in a way most wouldn't. -- Matt Kincer

@CSHAW4 -- LINKEDIN -- 

Been helping companies acquire top talent in the Bay Area since 1997. Began on the agency side, founded an engineering recruiting agency and proceeded to work in-house for Riverbed, Google and Twitter. Next was an a16z start-up called Illumio where I was the first recruiter in the door and built their recruiting program from the ground up. 

I'm now building Meteor as we experience exponential growth in our web development platform. 

Expertise: Recruiting team building, training and mentoring as well as the ability to roll up my sleeves and be hands on with sourcing and recruiting. 

Recruiting verticals: Engineering/executive sourcing/recruiting, International & non-engineering sourcing/recruiting and university recruiting. Each of these verticals I have been hands on, as well as built and managed pipelines from the ground up.
