Topic: Meet Pat Cronin, Vice President of Volt Professional Search: nd regular visitor to RBC was kind enough to introduce me to one of Volt’s senior executives. Pat Cronin has been in the Staffing Industry for 20 + years in various roles. His career began as a Recruiter. Pat was ranked 5th out of 300 + recruiters. After many successes was moved into management of a large group of Recruiters. He relocated and joined Volt Services Group as a Sales Representative where he was awarded "Rookie of the Year." Very quickly Pat was promoted to Manager and then Area Manager. He relocated and took a position as Regional Director for another large staffing firm. Pat returned to Volt in the role of Professional Placement Program Manager. He supports offices throughout the United States in their Professional Placement endeavors. The areas of expertise in which his division recruits are Life Sciences, Information Technology, Engineering, Technical, Accounting/Finance and Administrative. His current title is Vice President Volt Professional Placement. Pat is also a Six Sigma Black Belt. Q& A with PAT CRONIN Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world. PAT CRONIN: My domestic Partner, Brian Barnes, and I have been together for 7 years. Brian is a Deacon in the Episcopal Church and has his own bodywork therapy business focusing on Myofascial Release techniques. We met in San Francisco while I was on a business trip visiting from Seattle. After a year of commuting back and forth, we purchased a traditional San Francisco Victorian home in the heart of the city. Truth be told, Cooper, our dog, and Cecil, our cat run our home. They just allow us to reside with them. While in college I became a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified Scuba Diving Instructor and taught classes to many friends and Fraternity Brothers. Scuba Diving was a large part of my childhood as my father was President of U.S. Divers Corp and founded PADI. Rather than following in his very accomplished footsteps, I decided to make a name for my self on my own and stumbled into Recruiting. Years later, I did re-engage with PADI…I sit on the Board of Directors. When I first moved to the Bay Area, I volunteered as a Chaplain at San Francisco General Hospital. It was incredibly rewarding yet emotionally draining at times. I would work all week and then on Friday nights would spend 4 – 6 hours in the emergency room helping the marginalized population of San Francisco. Nothing could have prepared me for the trauma victims I would encounter in this setting. Most people were grateful to have the company of a Chaplain during such a stressful time in their life. You get to see human nature at its “rawest” when people are in crises. I do remember one rather humorous situation….a woman came in for a minor treatment. I came into her room and said…”Hi my name is Pat. I am a Chaplain here at SFGH.” The poor woman immediately panicked and said…”A Chaplain, why do I need a Chaplain? I only cut my foot. Do you know something I don’t know? Am I going to die?” I laughed and reassured her that no, she would be just fine. People react very differently when they are scared and facing an emergency. Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry PAT CRONIN: I started in the recruiting business in 1985. (I hate saying that because it makes me sound so old. I was right out of college…..honest! ) Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter? PAT CRONIN: I got into this industry by chance as many of us do. I had a friend who worked for a staffing firm. She told me about her job and I thought it sounded interesting. I also had an ulterior motive. I thought it would be a great place to find a “real” job. My thought was to look at all the positions that came into the office and if and when I found something that sounded more interesting, I would pursue that career. I know it sounds a little corny, but even after 23 years nothing is more fascinating that the search industry. In my years in the staffing industry, I have worked both Contract Staffing/Temp side and Search. The first 5 years of my career, I worked a desk in Southern California. In 1992, I moved to Portland OR and came to work for Volt. I was an outside sales rep for the temporary division. It was so different from the search side. I learned about account development and how to work in a fast transactional environment. I was “Rookie of the Year” and was promoted to Branch and then Area Manager. During my time in Portland, I was able to develop an on-site managed program for a large Bank. I left Volt for a short period and took a position as a Regional Director of another very large staffing firm. With in two weeks I knew I had made a gigantic mistake. While I was gone, two of the Senior Vice Presidents at Volt decided they wanted to develop a Professional Search strategy for the company. I returned to Volt in the role of Professional Placement Program Manager. I began collaborating with the incredibly talented people through out Volt to creating all the tools, infrastructure, policies and procedures, training and development, which helped Volt enter the Professional Search segment. In 2002, Volt was the first Staffing Firm to fully embrace Six Sigma and I entered the Black Belt training program. In 2005 I was certified as a Six Sigma Black Belt. Shortly after that I was promoted to Director of Professional Search. Using Six Sigma tools, we ran a Six Sigma project to determine how we could increase our market share in Professional Search. I am currently the Vice President of Volt Professional Search. The group of Professional Search Recruiters I work with each focus on niche specific positions nationally and are separated into distinct Search Groups (We are looking for talented Professional Search Recruiters and Search Managers. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself….We are hiring! We have more client requests than we can handle!) http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1446058&trk=tab_pro Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting PAT CRONIN: In the beginning, I was horrible. My idea of a telemarketing call was…”Hi, This is Pat Cronin from XXX Company. I am just calling to see if there are any positions I can help you with?” Or, “I just interviewed someone who would be perfect for your position!” I was so green! I honestly could not understand why I was not getting any business. Finally, after a few months, my boss said she did not think I was right for the business. She gave me a final warning. I had one month to produce twice as much as I had ever produced, or I was going to be let go! I remember saying to her….” I am not leaving here. You’ll see, I am going to pull this off.” That was when my career really began. I had nothing but sheer determination. I did not know how I was going to do it, but I was going to succeed. I asked everyone in my office for help. I listened to the best, mimicked them and did everything I could think of to produce the numbers I had to produce in order to keep my job. I loved this business and I would not accept any other result than success. That was the toughest month of my career. There were times where is looked impossible. However, I was determined. It is amazing what power there is in “commitment.” The last day of that month, I made a placement that pushed me right over the goal. I did it! That month taught me more about myself than anything I learned in college. Determination is what makes people succeed. Sounds so simple, but when you really, really “get” that, any thing is possible. Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after? PAT CRONIN: I have had many mentors. The first was Wendy Hall. She hired me and helped me personally grow into a business professional. The team of people I worked with back in 1985 all contributed to my success as well. Margie McKay and Christina Harris, both Senior Vice Presidents at Volt gave me the opportunity to create a phenomenal career in Professional Search at Volt. Six Degrees: Tell us about your executive responsibilities at Volt, Pat: PAT CRONIN: My role is Vice President of Volt Professional Search. I am responsible for Professional Search for Volt Technical Resources throughout the U.S. and Canada. It is an exciting time at Volt Professional Search. We are developing even more robust and comprehensive infrastructures, which will allow us to elevate our delivery model and break out of the industry norms. We want our attention to remain on the customer and candidate experience while producing respectful financial gains. " align="left" border="2" /"> We have done extensive market research, analyzed business trends and emerging markets and utilized Six Sigma statistical business models to identify the best combination of process and talent. All over North America, we are expanding our investment in the most critical aspect of our business….our people. We are re-branding, re-evaluating and re-inventing every aspect of our current model. Our goal is to emerge as a World Class Executive Search organization.

Topic: Meet Jacki Leonard, Regional Manager - Workforce Solutions: rt if in addition to volunteering,) –New Hope village –offering services to people with disabilities, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer • Office/Cell Number; 415-613-5863 • Personal Email – jacksf@live.com Jacki Leonard is a strategic leadership professional with a focus on defining and implementing business strategies that surpass expectations. Expert in mentoring, coaching and developing teams to achieve their ultimate potential and exceed company goals. Hands-on approach to business development, working with account managers to develop strong client relationships and ensure value is being added. Strong business managment experience with focus on budget/P&L and corporate goals. Her specialties include Team leadership, Critical Thinking Skills, Training & Development, Managed Service Programs, Recruiting Strategy Development & Execution, Strong Client Relationships, Business Development, P&L Management Q&A with Jacki Leonard Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world. I have the great fortune of living in one of the most amazing cities in the world, San Francisco. I relocated her 14 years ago from Seattle, Washington, another great city. I live in a cottage in the heart of the city and enjoy all the friends and family who come to visit (although, I do wish I had a bigger house ). My cat, Riley, spends most of hers day sunning herself on the deck –that is, when we have sun. This city offers a great balance for me – it is very fast paced, lots of hustle and bustle but there are also many great things to do outside –like Golden Gate park –one of my favorite things to do on the week-ends…take a long walk in GG park –either to the museums or to the ocean. I’d have to say my greatest interest and one of the reasons I work so hard, is to be able to travel. I’ve been privileged with visiting much of Europe but some of my favorite places are; Prague, Moscow, Stockholm, Paris, Copenhagen, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. I can’t think of a prettier place than the Amalfi Coast! Who knows where my next adventures will take me, but be assured –they’ll be some place amazing. Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry? JACKI: I’ve been in the staffing industry for 19 years (for those of you doing the math, I started when I was 12 ) Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter? JACKI:Funny story how I began my career in this industry. I had just moved to Seattle and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for work. I registered with Adia (now Adecco) and they sent me on a one week receptionist position for a shipping company. I had come from the restaurant business prior and was running at about a hundred miles an hour, so sitting at a desk waiting for the phone to ring was really painful. After my 1 week gig there I registered with Volt. They immediately offered me a temp job in-house to do some project work; one thing turned into the next and before you knew it, I was hired as a recruiter assistant. I quickly progressed up the later and was promoted to recruiter after 2 months. Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting career? JACKI: That’s a tough one. I can’t think of a single event but I did learn early on that building your network and staying in touch with people is a key part of your success. I can’t tell you how many times a past candidate has turned up as a potential client someplace…and I was always thankful that I had treated them with respect. Also, there are so many great tools available to recruiters today but none better than referrals (in my opinion)…so, keeping those relationships going is huge! Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after? JACKI: I’d have to say I have a couple of mentors. Margie McKay was the Senior Vice President that I worked under for the last 14 years of my career. She was incredibly innovative, took risks and was willing to give those that she trusted and believed in, chances. Margie taught me that a good leader/manager is someone who has developed a strong team around them. She focused on ensuring that our recruiting practices were solid – we did what we said we would do. We provided exceptional service to our clients and our candidates….you treat everyone with respect. It’s a basic concept but one that I think is often forgotten. My other mentor would be Debbie Crandall. She was my manager for 2 years at Volt and is now the CEO of Parker Staffing in Seattle, WA. Debbie is a very astute business woman. She is driven, motivated and passionate about what she does. She had a big influence on me as she pushed me to get out of my comfort zone –try new things, be creative and take risks. I am a much stronger and better recruiter, sales person having worked with both Debbie and Margie. Six Degrees: Tell us about your job JACKI: Most recently I worked as a Regional Manager for Volt Workforce Solutions in the Bay Area. I was responsible for the development and profitability of 6 branch offices and 3 on-site managed programs by setting strategic priorities, driving sales/service expectations, designing recruiting strategies and coaching/developing staff. Our area of specialty was; Administrative, Sales/Marketing, HR, Acct/Finance, Customer Service, Assembly/production. I also was responsible for a team of Professional Search Recruiters who focused on Technical, IT, HR, Sales/Mktg and Acct/Finance. Six Degrees: (A) What other companies' recruiting operations do you admire or have heard are best-practice examples? (A) There are so many companies out there that continue to excel at recruiting; it is hard to just identify one or two. I think the best one’s continue to progress, use new tools and technology and don’t rest on their laurels. I would have to say that Microsoft and Google continue to be creative in their approach. (B) In what aspects are they superior? JACKI:Creativity, thinking outside the norm and continuing to see the value in proactively building their pipeline. Six Degrees: What recent general news story or industry trend do you feel will have an impact on your work in the future? Why? JACKI: Social media by far! We have entered a new era in the way we do business, communicate, look for work, network etc…..It is moving and changing so quickly. It is fun to see companies embracing this approach and jumping on the bandwagon to attract top talent via the various outlets. Another area that I see continually growing is the use of videos in the hiring process, whether as part of the resume presentation (video introduction) or as a cost and time savings approach for initial interviews. Budgets are extremely tight now and will continue to be…even when things improve, which they will, I believe companies will still be conservative in many areas –and travel costs will most likely be one of them. The use of video technology will continue to be an efficient way of not only interviewing their candidates but building and keeping their pipeline warm for future needs. Six Degrees: Tell us about your broader involvement within the staffing industry. JACKI: Over the years I’ve been involved with various networking group and associations –such as SHRM, NCHRA, CSP, and SF chamber of commerce – all very good associations. Additionally, I try to attend as many business conferences as possible to network and learn from the experts. Most recently I attended the Professional Business Women’s Conference in San Francisco. This event was kicked off by Peter Lencioni –who wrote the management books – ‘5 Dysfunctions of a Team’, ‘Death by Meeting', He was a really great speaker with amazing insight and passion for what he does. This event had had more HR/Recruiting professionals speaking than I’ve seen in the past. It was great to get the corporate perspective on how they are using social media to attract talent and how they are handling the downturn in the economy. They are all doing more with less…which has been the theme for the past 9+ months. But everyone was very optimistic and preparing for a healthier 2010. Six Degrees: Can you detail how the recession has affected your particular industry niche? JACKI: The industry I was in has been hit quite hard…staffing companies are typically the first to feel the recession coming on and the first to see its recovery. There have been quite a few reductions in force, which many companies needed to do in order to stay financial stable and strategic in their approach. Six Degrees: Aside from simply the generic term “Networking” what specific efforts have you made on your own behalf, or on behalf of colleagues to broaden your opportunities. JACKI: I’ve been using LinkedIn a lot lately to connect with other professionals throughout the area. I’ve found most people are extremely receptive and willing to help and provide information when they can. I think reaching out to as many people within the type of work your are looking to get into is one of the best resources out there. Six Degrees: Given your own Trial and Error experiences as a Networker, what advice do you have for your peers on what NOT to do? JACKI: Be careful not to ask for a ‘favor’ or help right off the bat. People don’t know you yet….they need to see/know ‘what’s in it for them’ too…..networking takes patience and persistence Six Degrees: What is your next career goal? What do you need to do to get there? JACKI: My ideal position would be to get into the Corporate side of the business. Work as a Staffing Manager, Talent Acquisition Manager within a mid-large company. I know my background and experience in the staffing industry will transition quite nicely.…; Added by Dave Mendoza at 10:18pm on August 2, 2009

Barbara.ling • Personal Email Barbara Ling is a "Deity of Internet Smart Moves" She has been both an Entrepreneur and Internet recruiting pioneer since 1997. She was one of the original Master Trainers of demystifying online recruiting. She has since extended that concept to teaching individuals how to become an authority in their niche (Income Fitness). Barbara is an author of over 25 books and ebooks on entrepreneuring, Internet recruiting, marketing and business. She was spotlighted by Microsoft Corporation as the Small Business of the Month. *Over-delivering is her trademark!* She offers free resources like those found at her Virtual Coach Income Fitness Community at http://www.virtual-coach.com/forums/forums.php Q & A with Barbara Ling Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world. BARBARA I’ve been married now for 16 years to the most wonderful man on the face of the planet, and have plethora of kids that range from the ages of 13-going-on-18 down to 6. Additionally, the Ling Clan hosts 2 mooses (okay, moose-sized doggies) and 12 Twitter Budgies – you can read more at http://www.squidoo.com/barbaraling . If you were to consider one key word to describe my family, it would be “character-building.” I always view any problems encountered in life as misunderstood opportunities that are craving to teach us something, and instill that view in my family as well. Six Degrees: What do you do for personal fulfillment BARBARA Gosh, where to start? During my venerable lifespan, I’ve dabbled and/or mastered: • Stained glass design • Telephone insulator collection • Computer hacking/security • Dog training • Teaching kids to read • Playing the trumpet • Hustling kids in video games (okay, that was in college ) • Karate • Twitter Budgie Mastering • Video making and parakeet humor -- among other things! When I was 14 years old, I was a professional comedy dog trainer and visited many nursing homes and hospitals across NJ. My doggie back then was a German Shepherd/Collie mutt, and we specialized in bringing smiles to people who otherwise led a very depressing life indeed. And would you believe, I’m one belt away from earning my black belt in Gojuryu karate? It’s true – right after the Virginia Tech Massacre, I realized that while I might have taught my children everything about academics, their education was sorely lacking in street smarts/get-out-of-the-way abilities etc. So I signed up my entire family for karate and we’ve been progressing together ever since. Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry? BARBARA Teaching/training-wise, since 1997, when I started generating high SEO for local recruiters, Recruiters Online and teaching recruiters how to find quality resumes for free on the Internet. Prior to that, however, I also dealt with recruiters on the other end (as I was a consultant to Bell Labs and AT&T after taking the buyout package in 1995). Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter? BARBARA It was a stark and dormy knight. I started as a recruiter back in 1997 (prior to teaching) when a local NJ recruiting company asked me to help them quality local techie folk for places like AT&T and Bell Labs. I quickly realized that I far more enjoyed the thrill of the hunt rather than using a (gasp!) phone to talk with candidates, so I started focusing my skills in the training/SEO area entirely. The owner of this particular company was good friends with my husband, and he had heard that I was a wizard with Unix and security. At that time, he was LOOKING for people with my skills, and asked just how I would go about finding them. The rest, as one would say, is a most magnificent history lesson indeed. Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting career? BARBARA Achieving an 8-fold increase in the SEO visibility of Recruiters Online at http://www.recruitersonline.com . You have to remember, I started building webpages back when Mosaic was released (ie, Netscape Version 1.0). Here’s a fun fact – did you know that back then, if an image was included in a webpage that DIDN’T exist, the browser would STOP loading until you acknowledged this horrible omission? It made for humongous, long-loading pages back then, I’ll tell you that. Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after? BARBARA But of course – Bill Vick, the undisputed sage of everything recruiting online. Bob Larson has also been inspirational to me too. I remember first meeting Bill back in 1998 – he was visiting NJ for the NJ Staffing association meeting. A dynamically brilliant guy, he ended up securing my services for providing SEO to Recruiters Online. Funny thing too – the next year, I was speaking at that convention. I will never will forget that. Six Degrees: Tell us about the “Barbara Ling” engine – tell us what those pistons are churning out on a daily basis! BARBARA Nowadays, I’m a powerhouse of one (count ‘em, one!) and focus on teaching people how to use the Internet to their best advantage (recruiters, business folk, career peoples, etc.). I am responsible for everything regarding my brand – writing my products, designing the copy, setting up the websites, generating the high SEO, supporting my customers, and the like. This is one of the reasons why I’m always up and about at 3am; it’s the best time to simply get things done WITHOUT having to deal with a passel of kids, 12 chirping Twitter Budgies and 2 mooses to boot. Six Degrees: (A) What other companies' recruiting operations do you admire or have heard are best-practice examples? BARBARA Maureen Sharib, Jim Stroud and Shally. (B) In what aspects are they superior? BARBARA Maureen embraces the phone (something I can NEVER do). Jim is a master at podcasting and getting the word out… and Shally, well, he’s SHALLY. And when you’ve said that, you’ve said it all. Six Degrees: Tell us about your broader involvement within the staffing industry: BARBARA LING I offer help via my blog and forums at http://www.virtual-coach.com/forums/forums.php I’ll also lend a hand when colleagues ask for assistance regarding their web design or how to find candidates online. Nowadays, I’ve broadened my focus to embrace the small business niche as a whole. I’ve learned that no matter in WHAT business you might have online…..some things will never change (the need for quality customer care, how to design an effective website, where to go for help online, etc.). Six Degrees: Can you detail how the recession has affected your particular industry niche? BARBARA For me, it generally hasn’t – people STILL want to be profitable online. But! For my recruiting customers - I’ve noticed quite the shift indeed. Many recruiters have abandoned the field in hopes of finding more profitable venues and are more open to different lines of work. The big-billers, of course, know how to weather the storm, but for others…the field was rapidly depleted of the individuals who weren’t in it for the long haul. Unemployment has become rampant, and yet at the same time, individuals are even more leery about where they spend what they still have. Thus, even recruiters who tried becoming job coaches instead found difficulty in employment as well. Six Degrees: Aside from simply the generic term “Networking” what specific efforts have you made on your own behalf, or on behalf of colleagues to broaden your opportunities. BARBARA I’ve been branding both my name and my sites now on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking platforms quite prominently. I use resources like Ping.fm and Social Oomph to get the word out. Not only that – because forums are great communities, I started my own at http://www.virtual-coach.com/forums/forums.php . To do that, I had to teach myself how to run the entire exciting thingee – that was character-building in the extreme! But I always say, “Fear is the main thing that prevents success” And I refuse to let such a damaging emotion sideline my efforts. Now, back when I was heavily involved in teaching recruiters, I would frequent sites like http://www.ere.net and the various Ning groups as well. I find those resources to be stellar in assisting recruiters to maximize their bottom line; http://www.recruitingblogs.com and http://magicmethod.ning.com are two excellent current-day resources too. Six Degrees: Given your own Trial and Error experiences as a Networker, what advice do you have for your peers on what NOT to do? BARBARA Got a couple of years? Here are some of the top tips I can offer: • Do NOT spam your blog for SEO. • Do NOT promote your C++ job opportunities to hard-core sys admins (I still get offers for that!) • Do NOT write anything that you’d be ashamed your children found out • Do NOT be arrogant online, but DO be confident • NEVER apologize for your own personal greatness • Do NOT EVER talk bad about your competitors. Compare and contrast instead. • Showcase WHY you’re the recruiter of choice – walk the walk you talk. Remember, it’s NOT enough for you to just make the placement. Theoretically, ANYONE can “make a placement”…but that’s a single, short-term goal indeed! You want the candidate to RECOMMEND you to THEIR friends as well. If you choose to get known for your superior customer service (read – you SOLVE potential candidate issues instead of treating them like a commission check), your reputation will spread like wildfire in a GOOD way; the candidates will do your marketing for you! Six Degrees: What is your next career goal? What do you need to do to get there? BARBARA I’m shooting for Empress of the Galaxy but will be willing to accept “All Around Deity of Internet Smart Moves” , in other words, the ultimate AADISM. I plan on becoming THE authority of choice when it comes to maximizing one’s business profits online. Recruiting, after all, is a customer service adventure – it should be hands on from the beginning to the end. And the Internet allows anyone to showcase themselves as THE recruiter of choice; it’s simply a matter of taking advantage of what’s out there an seamlessly adding it to your business online.…; Added by Dave Mendoza at 3:32am on December 14, 2009
