Actuary Recruiting

Does anyone have any advice for recruiting Actuaries. I am new to the business.
Are there any books, tapes etc. to help a new guy in the business. What are recommended search sites that I can use other than the SOA site. Any suggestions would be graetly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

I suggested several blogs and Twitter... and OMG, here is a man surrounded by complex systems in an aircraft but a simple sign up procedure became more difficult than landing on an aircraft carrier. I'm sure when I reach his age my children will be taunting me with new… Continue

Career Planning, Career envy

It is a challenging thing planning a career in the Recruiting world, the starting point seems fairly straight forward...... Most people fall into it don't they? I don't know many (or any) who can answer the question "How did you get into Recruiting?" with a, "You know, it's just something I always wanted to do!"

The Interview Experience

Even as the economy crumbles and more companies lay off their workers, it is more critical than ever to sharpen the interview process in your company. Candidates today are more cautious, and less likely to leave the companies they are with. The ones actively looking are talking with a number of companies and have screening experiences to compare.



I recently went in for an interview with a staffing organization about a month ago. They came across my information and asked me if I was… Continue

But when you do learn of a new opportunity or receive a new job offer do you find yourself humming this question posed by the Clash - “Should I Stay or… Continue

Be a Closer

I for one hate lose ends... Drives me crazy. Great article!







Author: Toni Bowers TechRepublic.com

Having an employee who can complete a task and tie up loose ends is a godsend to bosses. Are you that type of person?

There are two types of people in this world: Those who close drawers after they get something out and those who don’t. My husband is the latter. That man cannot close a cabinet door to save his… Continue

Bob sent me this. I thought you might find this humorous, or at least interesting. On this day, one to make you smile a little. He was lucky to get off with just scatches and a few bumps. Deer are mean.
