<p>Within the last two to three months candidates are interviewing for one or more positions at the same time. We no longer have the luxury of "taking our time" to find the right candidate. The "right candidate" is now coming to the interview while engaged in two to three other opportunities. <a href="http://www.mnheadhunter.com/mh/2010/04/no-longer-available.html">Continue reading ...</a></p>

Last week, a final year MBA student wanted me to coach him, as he was keen to move into HR, in itself a little unusual career choice. In talking to his university career manager, he was an excellent student with a passion for HR.

<strong>SEO Is just a tool</strong><br />
<br />
At the end of the day, SEO is not the end all and be all. It is one tool that can be very effective to have in your tool box. No doubt, if done correctly, search engine optimization can work wonders for getting your jobs seen by people using search engines but it goes beyond just a platform or technique that helps to get your jobs visible in Google. In fact, it's really about optimizing your entire employment brand on the Internet.<br />
<br />
<strong>SEO may not be for everyone</strong><br />
<br />
There's more than just keywords and a few meta tags that go into a successful SEO strategy, if you're not willing to look at SEO as a long term investment, it might not be the best fit for you. Maybe something more instant like SEM (PPC) might be more what you're after. <a href="http://www.hrmbusiness.com/2009/11/seo-in-online-recruitment.html">Click here to read more.</a><br />

A common concern when hiring a candidate is whether the applicant has told the truth about various aspects of their background. It is not unlikely for applicants to feel that they are more likely to get the <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/"><strong>job</strong></a> if they distort their age, cover-up gaps in their work history and claim to have educational qualifications they do not actually have.<br />

<br />
While there has been relatively little research on the accuracy of applicant information, there is some evidence which can shed light on the facts. A study by a verification service in Minneapolis (U.S.), found that almost 33% of applicants' academic and employment records were inaccurate. An examination into 111 application forms submitted by people applying for jobs as nurse aids, found that forms were frequently incorrect for previous salary earned (72%) and duration of previous employment (57%). 15% of organisations cited by the applicants as being previous employers, had no record employing them. <a href="http://www.mnheadhunter.com/mh/2009/08/do-job-applicants-always-tell-the-truth.html">Click here to read more.</a><br />

<br />
I had the honor of meeting with a very senior candidate recently, who is going through the career transition process. In fact, the candidate had their workshop curriculum with them, a folder that had all the course information and work sheets within it. Being the curious recruiter that I am, I asked my candidate if I could take a peek at some of the workshops they were about to attend. I automatically found the resume section and started to scan through what these Career Transition Specialists were about to teach my candidate. <a href="http://www.mnheadhunter.com/mh/2009/08/career-transition-companies---are-they-the-right-solution-for-it-specialists.html">Click here to read more.</a><br />

<br />
<strong>Research</strong> - Research recruiters before contacting them to ensure that they cover your field, industry, location and salary range. You can usually do this by visiting their website where they generally list their specialties. Some recruiters list current opportunities and filled positions which can give you an indication of what types of jobs they fill. <a href="http://sweetcareers.blogspot.com/2009/03/your-recruiter-is-there-to-help.html">Click here to read more.</a><br />

According to Sullivan, furloughs are used instead of layoffs by companies that "lack the courage to look employees in the eye and terminate them." He goes on to list the many ways that furloughs can ultimately do more harm than good. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2009/02/furloughs_only_work_for_the_mi.php">Continue reading ...</a>Advice for College Students and Recent Grads From an Executive Recruitertag:recruitingblogs.com,2009-03-13:502551:BlogPost:5893272009-03-13T20:32:43.000ZCandice Arnoldhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/CandiceArnold

There is no denying that the current job market for the upcoming graduating class is a challenging one. However, there are still jobs out there and qualified, proactive, well-trained candidates will be able to snag good ones.<br />
<br />
Many career counselors are urging students to skip today's job market and go directly to graduate school but that's really the wrong idea right now. Rather than piling on more debt to get a graduate degree before they have any real industry experience, they need to do whatever it takes to find a position, any position in their industry. As the economy starts to recover they will have extra experience and contacts needed to build their careers more quickly.</a> <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2009/03/advice_for_college_students_an.php">Continue reading ...</a></em>Furloughs Only Work for the Militarytag:recruitingblogs.com,2009-02-27:502551:BlogPost:5702082009-02-27T13:42:45.000ZCandice Arnoldhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/CandiceArnold

<br />
According to Sullivan, furloughs are used instead of layoffs by companies that "lack the courage to look employees in the eye and terminate them." He goes on to list the many ways that furloughs can ultimately do more harm than good. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2009/02/furloughs_only_work_for_the_mi.php">Continue reading ...</a><br />

<br />
Attracting <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/"><strong>job seekers</strong></a> to your company requires more than just creating a page on Facebook, then sitting back and hoping "they will come." They won't. They have to be invited and once they arrive, they have to have something to do - like interact with employees. Singh advocates using employees as company ambassadors to help candidates feel more engaged with your company's page. Not only would employees be allowed to blog about the company, but they would also be permitted to post <strong>job opportunities</strong> directly to the company's Facebook page. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2009/02/facebook_helps_employers_get_i.php">Continue reading ...</a><br />

<br />
<strong>Work</strong><br />
<br />
Telecommuting has become more prevalent and Wheeler expects it to be "the dominant working style of the future," particularly for Gen Y employees, who seem to feel more comfortable with a telecommuting work arrangement than do their older colleagues.<br />
<br />
<strong>Recruiting</strong><br />
<br />
Virtual sourcing, Wheeler says, will continue to expand in usage among recruiters. Blogs and sites like Twitter "will become part of a complete sourcing strategy." Virtual screening and assessment will become the methods of choice in the near future for finding and hiring <strong>college students</strong> for <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/internship">internships</a></strong> and <strong>recent college graduates</strong> for <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">entry level jobs</a></strong>. "Very few candidates will ever meet a recruiter face-to-face unless they already have a natural physical proximity," Wheeler predicts. The first time new hires will see their bosses will be on their first days at work. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2009/01/recruiting_and_hiring_practice.php">Continue reading ...</a><br />

Millennials have gotten a bad rep because they have a tendency to change <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">jobs</a></strong> frequently. For them, the idea of staying with one employer for five years or more seems to be unheard of. But it's not frivolousness or flightiness that governs their actions. According to Philip Gardner and Georgia Chao of Michigan State University, in their white paper, "Today's Young Adults: Surfing for the Right Job," young adults change <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">jobs</a></strong> frequently and have many different experiences in an effort to discover their true identities.<br />
<br />
More than 10,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 28 were surveyed to help determine their attitudes toward work, life in general, and to discover why they job surf.<br />
<br />
One reason for <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">job</a></strong> surfing among today's young adults is a lack of loyalty. Already, many of them have seen friends and relatives laid off because of the failing economy. Reports in the news about large corporations going under only increases their uncertainty about the future, so naturally, if another company comes along with a better offer, they're going to walk. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2008/12/whats_the_matter_with_millenni.php">Continue reading about Millennials ...</a><br />

In a recent white paper, ''How Central Is Work to Young Adults?" written by Phil Gardner of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute (CERI) at Michigan State University and Georgia Chao of the Eli Broad College of Business also at Michigan State University, research was cited in support of the theory that today's young adults don't view their <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/"><strong>jobs</strong></a> as the primary focus of their lives, the way earlier generations did. Although work is important to them, they also care about having time to spend with family and friends, and doing things they enjoy like hobbies and/or volunteering.<br />
<br />
Ten thousand young adults between the ages of 18 and 28 were surveyed. The results of the survey - done in 2005 - were compared to one done in 1982, offering these three statements:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Life is worth living only when people get absorbed in work.</li>
<li>Work should be considered central to life.</li>
<li>The most important things that happen in live involve work.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Young adults in 2005 were more likely to disagree - either moderately or strongly - with these opinions than were their counterparts in 1982. The survey went on to break the results down into differences between genders and found that women were more likely to disagree with the above statements than were men - probably, they surmised, because women usually have other concerns like children and taking care of their homes. <a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/employersblog/2008/12/is_work_centrality_as_importan.php">Continue reading about the importance of work centrality ...</a><br />

<br />
1. Use a results-based decision-making process. What does this mean? Look at your current reps (most importantly -look at the high performers). What are their characteristics in common? Similar backgrounds? Similar degrees? What works for them will likely be what makes a good current candidate. They will “fit.”<br />
<br />
2. Talk to your top candidates several times. Make sure you’re getting a full picture of the candidate, not on just one really spectacular day. And, have others speak to them.

<br />
<strong>Sean Rice:</strong> A recruiter is responsible for assisting candidates in making successful, well-suited <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">job</a></strong> placements. In order to successfully place a candidate on a job order, a recruiter must know how to listen and they need to ask the right questions of their candidates. I believe that recruiters need to establish a trusting relationship with their candidate in order to receive honest information in return. The candidate needs to feel confident in their recruiter, as they are relying on that individual to assist them is finding a <strong><a href="http://www.collegerecruiter.com/jobs/">job</a></strong>.<br />

It's so simple, and so few candidates do this. And the higher up the management chain the candidate is, the more effective they can be using this strategy. Interestingly, the higher up the management chain the candidate is, the LESS LIKELY they are to actually do this!

<br />
But you've got to adopt a different paradigm - Flip your old way of thinking 180 degrees.<br />
<br />
Stop even thinking that a recruiter works for you...they don't. They work for the client, and are paid only if they find an exact match in a competitive recruiter market.

Even if you suggest that you'll throw business to the recruiter when you land your management job, a recruiter is in the immediacy business, and operates just-in-time. So next year or next month provide little incentive. <a href="http://www.cecsearch.com/WordPress/2008/10/10/the-inside-track-on-recruiters-top-10-tips/">Click here to read more.</a><br />

But it’s also your best weapon to landing interviews…<br />

LOVE THE PRE-SCREEN:<br />

Computerized pre-screens are a necessary result of the number of resumes that CareerBuilder and other job sites flood companies with. But pre-screens give you a job seeker a HUGE opportunity to stand out from the crowd, if you know how to “rig” your resume.<br />

So how can you get an Unfair Advantage? Do the same thing that SEO experts do to websites – game your resume to show up near the top of searches. It’s a technique called Resume Search Optimization, and the idea is simple. <a href="http://www.interview-on-demand.com/blog/2008/10/06/how-to-%e2%80%9crig%e2%80%9d-careerbuilder-and-other-job-boards/">Click here to read more.</a><br />

Although I am a niche recruiter (all medical sales-related jobs: laboratory sales, pharmaceutical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, biotechnology sales, surgical equipment sales, hospital equipment sales, medical supply sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, cellular products sales, molecular products sales, histology sales, etc.), all contingency recruiters work basically the same: Candidates pay nothing. Clients pay if a match is made. <a href="http://youngurbanprofessionals.net/job-search-how-to-work-with-sales-recruiters/">Click here to read more.</a><br />
