Job Boards

Last week, while looking for a specialized candidate on a job board, I found a very good fit (at least at first glance). Skills matched nicely, salary needs were close but he lived about 30 miles from the site. Not to worry! His profile said he would drive up to 100 miles! A recent consultant of mine, drove about 150 miles round trip daily for over 9 months. Upon calling this candidate, he told me anything over 15 miles each way was out of the question. I figured he made a typo but he implied that he set parameters high to get calls. Do not do this ever! Most recruiters will agree with me that once this happens, they will keep that candidate's name in the back of their head for a very long time!!
