Shally Steckerl Facts (yes, it's one of those days)

posted by 
Steven Levy (310)

Chuck Norris can't source no matter how tough he is; but Shally Steckerl can...

 

If at first you don't find resumes on the Internet, you're not Shally Steckerl.

If Shally Steckerl were a calendar, every month would be named Shallytober, and every day he'd find more resume better than you.

Fear of not finding enough qualified candidates is not the only emotion Shally Steckerl can smell. He can also detect hope, as in "I hope my company doesn’t hire Shally Steckerl to replace my entire sourcing team."

Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Behind every fired sourcer, there is Shally Steckerl.

What’s known as the CIR, or Certified Internet Recruiter, doesn’t use its full name, which happens to be “Certified Internet Recruiter, Non-Shally-Steckerl-Trained”.

There is endless debate among astronomers about the existence of the life on other planets in the Universe. Well it does exist because Shally Steckerl wrote a Boolean search and found it.

ERE did not hold it’s first international conference in Europe until 2005 because until then Shally Steckerl was sourcing for all companies in Europe; why have a conference if recruiters would have no opportunity to practice what they just learned?

Shally Steckerl doesn’t use a keyboard; he stares at it until the keyboard types in the Boolean that Shally wants.

As Bertrand Russell wrote, "Those who fear life are already three parts dead; those who fear sourcing need to take a course from Shally Steckerl."

 

Feel free to add more facts about Shally in your comments.

Shally Steckerl doesn't daydream. He's too busy giving HR people at other companies nightmares from finding their employees' resumes online.


When Shally Steckerl was a child...

When Shally Steckerl was a child, he was banned by all the parents in his neighborhood from playing hide-and-seek because their kids always came home from the game crying, "He always knows where we're hiding!"

If Shally didn't find you, you're a figment of your own imagination.
