The question of whether a website is important to your firm’s viability is long answered. The days of existing outside or, at best, on the outskirts of the digital landscape have expired and the ability to move into the future is largely based on one’s online presence. Today it is not only the lack of an online presence but the lack of an effective one that can limit…

The recruiting industry is no different than any other in that now more than ever it exists largely within a virtual environment. Consider the variety of resources you access daily to assist in your recruiting efforts, whether it is email, social media or other digital services. Your business undoubtedly relies greatly on a variety of digital platforms. While some…

You keep tabs on all the news stories just to let your readers stay acquainted with all that is happening in this world, but when your blog depends on a news story that is a hot topic at the moment and everybody is writing on it, then my opinion for writers would be to wait for a week. This may sound crazy, maybe your writers send you emails suggesting this story as your next topic, but remember that they read your posts because they like your judgment and thus they would like your…

Recruiting has come a long way since the days of classified ads in the newspaper. Today, there are thousands of platforms to advertise your openings to prospective employees. Yet somehow, hiring managers still struggle with not getting enough applicants – or the right ones.

Where are hiring managers going wrong? The post and pray model has been around for …

There are several reasons as to why people engage in the blame game one of the many reasons being either insufficient information due to lack of clarity in ones duties and responsibilities.

Sourcing on Facebook is completely different to sourcing on LinkedIn, a Job Board or even your ATS. All those resources rely entirely on what a person says about themselves where as on Facebook you can find people based on entirely on what other people say about them.

In this video I demonstrate how to find people based on who their friend are and what photographs they may happen to be tagged in. With these two techniques I can find people who may have a very low profile anywhere on…

Sure, there are some interesting "sourcing" products you'll see sponsoring all of the big events. But are they worth it? I should know, after all, I was part of the beta programs.

Before I start let me preface this by making it very very clear we in the staffing community are amongst the most helpful there is. We will always help those who need it. That said keep in mind we are also very very busy, and asking the same type of question over and over again, instead of looking first is really a waste of everyone’s time. What started this…

It should come as no surprise that leadership is a skill best learned through hands-on practice rather than through taught theory. There is a difference, after all, between talking about something and doing it, particularly when it comes to dealing with people, assessing and managing risk, and making major decisions. Learning these skills and applying them…

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

South Africa recently announced that it's considering a national minimum wage. The government proposed wage of R3,500 per month ($267.23 USD), or R20 an hour ($1.53 USD), is a small sum for Africa's most advanced economy, but close to the median income in a country where nearly half the population lives in poverty. If passed, the new wage laws could go…

As the economy continues an upward trajectory, it's becoming harder for some employers to secure top-end employees. While there's only so much you can do in terms of salary, there are options for those who want to become top choice employers. These options emphasize working with what your business already has and seeking out creative solutions that are more likely to attract good employees. Most of what can be done truly requires a business to look at its current assets and…

If you watch the TV or read the newspaper over the past month you have seen a rash of incidents in which the new president says one thing and his cabinet members say something entirely different. This inconsistency of message leads to an inconsistent message to the employees of the government, our allies and more important to the customers of this country – its citizens. I hear many media pundits who lay out what this could mean for the country in the years to come. This is not a political…

We demand RPO Excellence!

When I talk to organisations looking to outsource their recruitment, the most frequent area of conversation typically revolves around this:

Howard, RPO’s tell a good story, and we are pretty sure they can handle our core transactional recruitment requirement. But how can we tell a great RPO from just a good RPO? How do we make sure we choose the RPO that is really going to deliver Recruitment…

It doesn’t appear to be an education issue either, as women hold more Bachelors and Graduate degrees than men. Many companies argue that the gender gap is a simple pipeline issue,…
