<$MTEntryDate format=%B %e, %Y %l:%M %p"$>
Amy Kimmes, director of Field Operations for Technisource, has written a lighthearted guide to recruiting, er, dating.
I suppose the comparisons are inevitable. I try to avoid them.
She handles the analogy pretty well. You can read it on the ERE Web site.

Dating rule #6
Don’t talk too much. People who express the “enough about me, what do you think about me?” attitude sit home alone, a lot.
Recruiting application:
The candidate should be doing most of the
talking. Assess what the candidate has to offer, what they need, and
then set expectations of how you will work together. Let the candidate
talk about the interview before you disclose the hiring manager’s view.
If you blurt out “they love you, you are the best candidate they have
ever met!” — what do you think happens to the candidate’s salary
requirements?
