Tom,I guess you didn't read the part about why recruiters don't leave specific info on your voice mail, but I do know one guy that got fired because of the kind of message you are asking them to leave.-Paul

Rick --Can you train your staff to leave more information in their voicemail messages? Just giving their name and a request to call back is not so effective. If the recruiter is looking for me for a specific role, how about giving some detail, at least the ***le, giving me a reason to call him/her back rather than ignoring the message?Thanks,Tom

We at Girard/Richardson Inc would like to apologize up front for any messages that might have been perceived as "shady" or “slimy”. We hold ourselves to the upmost standards of professionalism and we are very good at what we do.  I would like to take this opportunity to present our case and shed some light on our business. “GRI” is a boutique professional search firm specializing in the recruitment and placement of Engineering and Executive talent for some of the hottest technology companies on the planet.  We cater to two specific areas: 1) Stellar companies looking to build a solid technical/leadership foundation.  2) Developing relationships with outstanding talent. We are not a “telemarketing” firm. Nor are we attempting to sell you anything.If you have been contacted by us, you have most likely been referred to us by someone in our network or we had prior knowledge of you in the past. You might have even sent your resume to us at some point in your career progression.  We do realize that you might already be engaged which is why our call is of a “sensitive nature”. Our voicemail message is simply designed to protect the designated recipient.  Fact is, we do not know who checks your voicemail and we would not want to do anything to jeopardize your current work situation. If you have received a call from an 808 number then it is a direct extension from one of our team members in our Honolulu location. Some of our team has been fortunate enough to be located in Hawaii.

Got the call on my office phone, maggie beach: "Time sensitive, call before 3:00" called back and asked person who answered 'what company is this and like others was told they handle calls for various businesses. Told them if it's important they'll call back and refused to give any information or speak further.
