TMI?

That's shorthand in this text-message obsessed world (would you believe I've NEVER sent a single text message to anyone in my life and I'm supposed to be part of this tech saavy generation? I'm already a "freak" with my red hair, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I should add "weirdo" to my Bio!) for "Too Much Info" and I've been thinking a lot about transparency as it exists today in corporate America.

Obviously, we're all well aware of the impact that social networking sites have… Continue

Speed Doesn't Kill

In Recruiting, speed doesn't kill. In fact, it's absolutely critical to success. When's the last time you heard a new hire criticize their new employer for moving too quickly?

Don't believe me? Just stop and think about all the times you lost the perfect candidate to another employer - hopefully not a competitor - simly because your interviewing/hiring process was too long.

Still don't believe me? Then take a moment to read John Sullivan's recent ERE article titled… Continue

You can not be anything you want to be.

Almost everyone was told growing up that we can be anything we want to be if we just try hard enough. Unfortunately, this is not true.

For instance, let’s look at Michael Jordan the basketball player:

n 5 time MVP

n 10 time All NBA First -Team selection

n Selected as one of the “50 Greatest Players in NBA History”

n Member of 6 NBA Championship teams

n 6 time NBA Finals MVP

n 9 time NBA All-Defensive First Team Selection

n NBA Defensive Player of… Continue

Firefox is a sourcers best friend.

So I am updated to Firefox 3.0 and with the exception of signature all of my favorite add-ons have been updated. It is these add-ons that make my life as a sourcer much easier. So below I have listed the addons I use and what they do for me.

Google Toolbar - Besides the search and the Google dog food here are what I believe to be the best reasons to use it. The site search button - you find a site that you want to explore. Instead of typing out site:webaddress.com you just press the… Continue

I survived the Recruiting Animal!

Sure, some say he was nice on me, even though I was SURE he was lurking... just waiting to HAMMER me.

Some say he should have investigated my threat against Shannon Underhill* more deeply.

But everyone agrees it sounded fun.

Either way, here is a nice link to check it out on your own:

Wednesday Wisdom: Fool me once, shame on you...

Dear Claudia,

I am a corporate recruiter who manages an average of 30 technical positions at any given time for my company. On a good day, let’s just say I barely have time to go to the bathroom. I followed up on a great resume this week that came in response to a posted position, and discovered to my amazement that the phone number was directed not to a candidate, but to an agency recruiter. I was shocked, but it gets worse: when I complained to the agency manager about the… Continue

Where is YOUR Resume?

Checking in on my train ride home - this will be another one of my 30 min blog ideas. My 'train' of thought is that if it takes me longer than my train ride home to come up with something to write and get it posted - it must not be what I should be blogging about. That said,…
