On Wednesday, 1/18/12, The Recruiting Animal welcomed me back to his BlogTalkRadio show for the 4th time to discuss contract issues for recruiters and their principals. I was intereviewed for a little more than an hour regarding ethical & conduct reltated issues among recruiters & HR professionals. The interview is here (MP3) or here on Recruiting Animal’s site.

The intereview ranged from some pretty serious & intense issues to me singing Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now” with the Recruiting Animal. Here’s some comments about the interview:

Comment by Tim Spagnola on January 19, 2012 at 9:05am: Animal – solid solid show. Did you mention that Charles going to be a semi-regular guest? He really offers great insights on things that you often don’t think about till it is too late.

Comment by Recruiting Animal on January 19, 2012 at 12:59pm: Charles has been on a few times. Here’s his 1st appearance 3 yrs ago - http://bit.ly/A1xmnM

I wanted to discuss each one of the topics I talked about yesterday in individual spots every few weeks at the start of the show but because I didnt have a guest I kept him on thru the whole thing and then Jerry had him on for another half an hour so I was thinking I wd postpone his next apperance. I also have to come up with more stuff to talk about

Comment by Recruiting Animal on January 19, 2012 at 1:00pm: His previous appearances were livelier. I think I let it be too sedate yesterday. There were few challenges to what he was saying and there is always a danger with this kind of discussion that it drags on beyond interest because I dont understand what we are talking about and cant interject.
