I have a very different take on good communications skills because speaking English is only a start. I have worked with several consultants and managers who are very knowledgeable, but cannot educate those around them. They either talk way over their heads, or digress so often that they are impossible to follow. In my mind, those who can answer a question in such a way that the person who asked it understands the answer is probably the best communicator of all.

Too bad candidates can't request the same of the recruiters... there have been several instances I really felt like asking how well the recruiter could speak the english language or even request they just take a course in speaking english, but held my tongue... Of course I can choose to vote with my decision NOT to work with some recruiters...

I can only hope members - active participants and 'lurkers', newbies and long-timers alike - have a deeper appreciation of why so many employers request candidates for any position have "good communications skills."
