Tiffany is very articulate and quick on her feet. The Animal Panel got mad because I didn't berate her for anything but, in fact, I only get mad when I have a reason to be. And she didn't make me mad. Except that she doesn't seem to have a Twitter address - an issue I forgot to take up with her on the show.

The callers and the people on Twitter seemed to like her too. I hope she comes back again.

Lesson #1: 

You may or may not be able to train a monkey to recruit

I met Michael Heller a few weeks ago on Twitter. He was arguing with me about something so I invited him to try his luck on The Recruiting Animal Show.

Recruiting Animal Show - Recording - Feb 27, 2013

Yes, I'm the host - but is everything my fault? Is it my fault if the guest calls in from England on a bad line? I beg the guests, I implore them, over and over: "Sound is important" I say. Then on the show, the other schmoes tell me, "Shut up, Animal, we can hear him…

A few weeks ago I received a marketing email from Zao.com. I replied to say that I wasn't interested but that I would be happy to have them on my show if they wanted exposure. The CEO, Ziv Eliraz, told me that he would like to come on., I warned him that it might not be the best venue for new technology. His interest was not…

As a Southern California native, consuming (and/or cooking) mass quantities of Mexican cuisine is a way of life. One of the more delectable ingredients in many tasty recipes is refried beans. Ironically, the way these beans are made involves methods other than frying or refrying. So while they are still delicious, the name is not…

Most likely I’ve shared before that I consume A LOT of content (daily) on various business topics – a hefty chunk of it being HR and recruiting related articles, blogs and social media conversations. Earlier today I came across this post describing 5 Things a…
