In some circumstances, taking an hour to get to know a candidate may not be the most effective use of time. The individual could perhaps be only moderately interested in other opportunities, or is locked in where they are an extended period of time due to a large bonus or contractual stipulations, or be outside the scope of your defined niche but still possibly a placeable candidate in the future. The Condensed Candidate Data Sheet (CDS) form allows you to ask the most critical information, in five to ten minutes, that you can then keep on file for future searches and conversations.

Not every candidate warrants a full CDS dialogue; using a Condensed CDS Form will allow you to ask critical information, in five minutes or less, that you can then keep on file for future searches and conversations.
In this clip from the NLRT DVD Series, Jeff Kaye shares how to use a Condensed CDS with candidates only moderately interested in other opportunities, or possibly someone who is locked in to their current company or situation for an extended period of time.
