Staffing Agencies = Training Ground for Corporate Recruiters?

 

I never thought I’d be a corporate recruiter.  Well, if we go back far enough I never thought I’d be a recruiter.  In fact, I don’t know a single recruiter who set out to BE a recruiter, on purpose.  We all seemed to kind of fall into it, but I digress.

Try asking your clients and colleagues to define the term, and we guarantee that you will get very different responses. Recruitment Strategy means entirely different things to different recruitment stakeholders (line managers, hiring leaders, HR professionals, recruitment professionals). Still searching for answers…try googling the term or searching through respected industry…

How to improve the Home Run Derby (& your Recruiting)

As I was driving into work this morning, I was listening to 98.5 The Sports Hub (by far the best sports radio station in Boston) and they were talking about last night’s All Star Game Home Run Derby.  However, instead of talking about the great performances of Adrian Gonzalez and Robinson Cano (who won), they focused on one topic: how could they make the event better!

 

To this one simple question, listeners and the on air personalities were able to come up with a bunch of…

A Jobvite survey out this morning says 89 percent of the respondents to its poll (most of them not Jobvite customers) said they are either already using some form of social media in their recruiting or will in the next year. They are also having success; 64 percent said they’ve actually…

Give those recruiters a red card, ref..

Anyone can tell you that a bad experience tends to unfortunately stick out in your head more so than a good experience. It can just take one person to really upset a company brand but a whole group of people can do some serious damage and in this case, it most certainly has.

The following tale is by no means tarring the bunch of wonderful recruiters that are out…
