The recruiting industry is a fast growing one, and with the world of recruiting becoming an international scene, in the past five years or so we have witnessed a growth in both numbers of recruiters and in the variety of solutions.

 Yet, when you get down to it, in the matter of deal-types, there are still only two - Contingency and Retainer. Two models, both…

As a software developer the number of “job opportunities” that reach my inbox is staggering. For most people this would seem like a good problem to have. But that is not the case, most of these “opportunities” as very mismatched, and more often than not, just blatant spam. 

The problem seems to stem from either the lack of care from the recruiters, or the lack of proper tools. I want to believe that it’s a lack of data about candidates and thus a problem of not having the right tools.…

Hi all,

I'm working on an upcoming monthly community-based series for the Social Talent blog, where we ask a question to recruiters around the world to get opinions on a specific topic in the recruitment world.

In this week's instalment of Game of Thrones, we saw Jon Snow and Sansa Stark start off on a recruitment drive to gain colleagues to join them in waging war. It was a week of highs and lows for the pair.

The recruitment drive starts with a plea to the wildling's to join the army, and this is undoubtedly the highlight of their recruitment drive. 

 Jon begins his…

The hunt for catching that needle in haystack candidate is not easy and even more so when you have a niche requirement. With your relentless efforts at times you may still not get the candidates with the right calibre. Thus, some organisations tend to rely on agencies to help them find talent that they desire.

While that may be a great alternative to get the Talent you’re looking for it is important to pick the right agency hence the question, “How do you find the right agency for…

I know we all have a job to do…for recruiters it is finding people for our open positions.  I know it is not an easy job to do at times, but we need to do it in such a way as not shame our companies.

For example, before you reach out to a potential candidate by email or phone…do you at least review his or her resume or LinkedIn profile?  I would think this is common sense, but I got a call this week for a JD Edwards position.  I asked the recruiter why he thought I…

Up there with a call enquiring after that recent accident you didn’t have, cold calling is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

A gatekeeper worth their salt or anyone that’s even a little busy will prevent a cold call from reaching its intended target.

Earlier this year, I presented at the recruiting conference - "2016 Sourcing Summit Asia in Singapore" and had a blast presenting on 3 different topics. The first of three was "Headline Recruiting: How To Source Passive Candidates from the News."

This was my session description...

Headline Recruiting: How to Source…

My blog post from last week stressed that we should not measure for the sake of measuring. The same concept goes for determining what projects to begin. I do not care whether you are an IBM or the corner mom and pop store, you do not have the capacity to take on every project that may be needed to resolve obstacles within the organization. So if we can’t undertake everything how do we make the value of the projects understood by the organization as a whole?
