Recruiting a Recruiter: Like a Waitress Serving a Waitress?

A post on Recruiting Blogs by Rebecca Sargeant sparked my thoughts on this topic: (http://www.recruitingblogs.com/forum/topics/as-a-recruiter-what-do-except)

Waaaay back in my college days, I was a waitress at a well known chain restaurant. It was a fun job and I loved serving the customers and giving them great service (of course, I loved the tips, too!). Since that experience, I…

Recruiting Tool for Knockout Candidate Presentations (ComF5)

Working without the ball...

Wow, it's been a month since I last blogged. Amazing how time flies.

Recently, watching the World Cup, I was inspired by something that was said from one of the commentators. He said something along the lines of "It's just as important to work hard when you don't have the ball as it does when you have it."

I translated that to my world, and no, I'm not… Continue

The most important thing about finding your first job is to be realistic. You must not look…

Social Media as Part of a Balanced Diet

Even though hiring has slumped over the last couple of years, social media recruiting has been a hot topic and continues to gain traction. Many recruiters are already finding candidates through LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Other recruiters are still at the very early stage of understanding social media for recruiting. Guess what – it’s OK. If that’s you, you are really not that far behind.

Being a new blogger myself (I think that's what we're called) all I can say Mark is...

Bloody Well Put! (Big Smiley Face would go here if I ever figure out how to add graphics)

It is a Strange New World but if you can grow a thick enough skin, and avoid some of the bigger, badder bullies, it seems to be well worth it.

Are you ready? The job seekers market is about to explode.

Last few years were pretty tough on the American workforce. You could separate all people into two main groups: those who had a job and those who didn't.

Majority of those who had a job were just happy to have one and stick with it, no matter how much they were interested in doing something else or moving to a different company. Because more people were willing to trade their ambitions for a steady paycheck, the job satisfaction indicator fell to record low 45% by the end of… Continue

Know Your Blogging Etiquette or Face the Hounds..

Ok, So we all have to start somewhere and I have recently launched myself into the blogging sphere and not without a few bruises along the way!! It seems that there is a protocol when it comes to the blogging world, but a protocol that you are not warned or advised about, it's similar to going on a roller-coaster for the first time and hitting a peak at the top with a vertical drop, nobody told you it was going to be there you just had to… Continue
