This is one of those stories where it can be seen either as a sad commentary on urban America or a hopeful spot in the American job market. The Newark, New Jersey City Government approved a new law requiring small restaurants in the city to have an armed guard on the premises, during the evening hours. This comes in the wake of a drive-by shooting at a Newark restaurant where an off-duty police officer was killed.
According to the article on Reuters, any restaurant serving fifteen…

It is without a doubt one of the most historic times of our economic windfall. Everywhere you look there is doom and gloom discussion, individuals getting overwhelmed, and political rumblings, and a historic downgrade of the US credit rating. The Dow dropped 600+ points, but yet there is still hope.
We need to look long and hard these days at giving individuals hope. Is there any wonder that the Recruiting/Staffing professional of today can be a powerful voice that gets…

I guess the title is self explanatory. Companies are far less looking at recruiters to assess potential candidates. All they want is to steal from their competitors. If a recruiter works a certain niche market, he/she can make a good living just shuffling one person over to the competitor. Once that candidate has been with the competitor for 2-3 years (maybe more), the recruiter than takes that same candidate and shuffles him off to another competitor.There is no really 'assessment' of…

Tips on how to choose an appropriate RPO partner:
1. Specific or general?
If your recruitment needs are fairly general then you should look at a broad range of agencies. However, if you are in a highly specialized industry or require someone with very specific skills you need a sector specific agency.
2. Check their screening process!
You are paying for a service to save you time and money - you do not want to be wading through CVs that are not…

Look in the mirror and ask yourself -“Can I perform my duties to the best of my abilities today? Or is this going to be one of those rare days that I am just going to go through the motions?” Answer honestly, because that will set the tone for your day as well as set your mind-set (good or bad).

Creating a social media strategy is something that is quite commonly observed and encountered by the legions of Twitter, Facebook and MySpace users that log in every minute of the day. This approach to marketing via social media is a very cost-effective method of advertising and reaching out to consumers, especially when you consider the fact that you have consumers eying your ads 24/7. However, not every single marketing strategy using social media out there is successful. For every…

Inspired by Anthony Roberts of Kelly Services in Florida. From his LinkedIn Discussion entitled: "Are Recruiters Really Necessary" posted on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Discussion Group Aug 6, 2011.
External recruiters are actually not necessary if the internal process of recruiting quality candidates has been solved. However, plan on solving that challenge often, because each…

Fun week, wasn’t it? The Markets provided a lot of entertainment and food for thought this week. Meanwhile, business went on as planned. We had a good week, made placements, took on new job orders, set up interviews etc…. Business for us has been growing since it bottomed out in ’08 with the Financial Crisis. Yet there are a lot of bad things going on out there (long term unemployment for starters) and there is an underlying feeling that things are not so good. Here is an article from…

Why not see great candidates over 40, or even 50?
Does more youth = more energy and time spent working?
Do you dream younger people will stay with you 10-20 years?
Does being older mean being too set in our ways?
None of these things are relevant to age, and you know it.
The last 3 years has shaken the hell out of everything.
The right person for your company can be any age.
Here’s the criteria:
1. Not a job-hopper.
2. Current,…

After my two articles on Headhunting and The talk on discovery of candidates’ secrets held by Motibee Media of which I was a presenter, I found out that many people are really interested in problems in recruiting faced by a direct recruiter and an outsourcing agency. I want to share some more opinions of a recruitment agency hired to recruit labors with its advantages and disadvantages in “selecting talents”.
