Dressing up like you are going to a face to face meeting also helps. I always put the animals in a separate room with their toys so the person on the other line cannot hear them and I'm not being distracted by them either. I would not recommend leaving them outside, though, since you never know how long the interview will take. Very well written, thanks for the great advice!

I'd love to see if there is a way to benchmark the impact of better questions... I am sure improvements in questions will impact the quality of submittals and result in an uptick in placements. The key will be determining how best to tease apart the data to determine the most successful drivers, as question quality is one of many variables. That’s a great example, Chris!

I'm already seeing our Technical Recruiters beginning to ask BETTER QUESTIONS through the written and verbal tools within VoiceScreener. The tool is forcing them to ask better questions. For example, rather than the standard, "How many years of experience to you have with BASIS," they are now asking, "From a general BASIS perspective what would say your strengths are: Performance Tuning, New System Installs, Upgrades? Transport Management, Security?" A HUGE upgrade in our quality of questions...which should lead to the MOST QUALIFIED applicant! I agree wholeheartedly with this.

Why is it that it takes about 30 seconds for a "bad habit" to form... but an exercise routine or a new diet? 21 days may be on the light side! :) I am going to borrow the “21 days” comment for my whitepaper, Chris!

I Will be forwarding to our team. As I've been saying...it takes "21 days to make or break a habit." Given time I feel this tool will help them become more efficient (and happy) talent agents!
