Recession Job Searches

There is an Allstate commercial that starts with Dennis Haysbert, who starred as President David Palmer on the critically acclaimed “24” and now heads up the cast of “The Unit”, saying “we may not be in a recession, but it sure feels like one.” Well, I would like to rephrase that quote to say, “we may not be in a recession, but the legal market is responding as though we are, and thus we must act accordingly.”

In the hallways of the top law firms, in the bar study courses across the… Continue

See you all around.

All the money wasted on newspaper advertising...

I recently decided to do an "old school" advertising campaign for a hard to fill position. We had a gorgeous ad and it ran all through a particular state. Results: no qualified candidates. For the cost, I could have run it on niche websites that I don't use all of the time. I learned that my gut instincts are correct and not to give into pressure to advertise where I really don't want to. Lesson learned! FYI - I recruit licensed allied healthcare professionals.

Structural Negotiations In Recruiting Sales

Cross-posted at StlRecruiting.com

I'm reading a book on negotiation, and it covers the importance of negotiating with decision makers. The example given is that of a car dealer, where the salesperson actually has no authority to make the decision on a deal.

If you've ever been annoyed when a car salesman leaves to go speak to the sales manager, it's helpful to remember that the salesperson isn't… Continue
