interest. The main reason for the lack of interest is simply a

lack of posts by the blogger. Regular, frequent posting, which

will boost your blog’s ranking in search engines, is essential

to the survival of any blog.

You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting?… Continue

Rookie Mistake

So, I made a rookie mistake this week. I have a candidate that I have become friendly with and we talk and goof around through e-mail a lot. I set up an interview for him this past week and after it was over he e-mailed me and told me the interview was lame and the interviewer wasn't exactly a rocket scientist. My candidate is a high-level risk modeler and analyst and this company is smaller and I guess still immature as young capital companies go. Anyhow, after I received his feedback I… Continue

I Passed my Certification for the PIAV Assessment!!!

I have spent over a year working with and getting trained on several assessments produced by Target Training International. Recently, I have started studying for the certification exams for the DISC and the Personal Interest, Attitudes and Values (PIAV) assessments. Wednesday night I took the exam for the PIAV and found out the next day that I passed!

Creating a Positive Candidate Recruiter User Experience

I have been thinking about many things and experiencing “Web 2.0 overload” in my attempts to secure a new position and get my own enterprise off the ground. While some of what I am going to discuss here is obvious, I feel compelled to write about it.

There was an excellent discussion on RecruitingBlogs.com started by Jennifer LaVigne entitled “Cold calling and your best pick up line.” There were insightful comments from every smart person that participated in the discussion. What… Continue

The Client Side - Pitchers and Catchers Report

Today is the day that Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training. One of the Great Days for baseball fans. This has been an exciting day for me for most of my life. I love baseball and even with all the problems the sport has had in recent years, it's still the greatest game to me. I love the strategy of the game and see some great parallels with our business.

For one thing, baseball is situational. There's no time clock so strategy is centered around situations, circumstances… Continue

Direct Placement Freak Out! Need your help.

I recently placed a candidate in a position within a large Defense Company. The candidate went for his interviews, did great and was offered the position. The candidate got an offer letter with a very nice relo package. All was well on both sides and the candidate is scheduled to start 2-23. The company came to his house and appraised his stuff for shipping; they even measured the length of his dog to size for a crate. The whole nine.. I just go a call and they told me that his status has been… Continue

So the wind was let out of my sails a bit. What now?

As much as I hate to admit it, the honeymoon period seems to be coming to a close for me. In no way does this mean I dislike my job, who I work for, or the people I work with. Rather, this week finally brought forth irrefutable evidence that the company I am working for is not, in fact, immune to the recession.

In all honesty I knew this was the case all along, but at least for a while it seemed as though the proactive stance that was taken to operate as frugally as possible was… Continue
