“Great opportunity for an experienced widget maker”

Then it will state the critical information.  The main idea is to peak interest and give the critical requirements that you are looking for.  You want the right candidate to recognize that they fit and generate enough interest for them to want to explore it and find out what makes it a great opportunity.

The unemployment rate has been trending down since 2010.  That’s a good thing even considering the fact that we were in really bad shape then and the numbers are regularly massaged.

If you include the underemployed (those working at lesser jobs than they really need but still not qualifying for unemployment) the numbers aren’t nearly as good.  You really have to include the underemployed to get a feel for how good or bad the situation is.  The underemployed don’t make enough money and…

Hiring is an incredibly exciting time. Attracting talent to, and growing your team, is huge for your organisation. So why simply write a cut-and-paste job advert that insinuates that there’s a real shortage of creativity? Here’s how to attract the best candidates, through a…

There is no shame in not being the right fit.  Many candidates feel rejected when they are passed on by a hiring manager.  Recruiters, especially early in their careers, can sometimes feel rejected when their candidate is not a fit.

I’m not the right fit for the Golden State Warriors at small forward and I’m not the right fit for manicurist at the local salon.  No shame in that.  Recruiting is about finding.  Finding the right candidate.  Finding the right position.  Feeling rejected…

There is a simple, yet strategically significant difference in the communication styles of leaders and managers.…

When I was in high school I applied for a job at Pizza Hut. A few of my friends worked there and I hated my current job so I figured I’d try it out. The day of the interview I was a little nervous - standard nerves about an interview - nothing crazy. The manager came to the front of the restaurant to meet me and we sat in a booth to begin the Q&A. The first thing he asked was, “So that’s your real name? We all were taking bets it was a stage name.” To say that I was shocked would be an…

If you want to know why you recruit, ask yourself why you are in business.  Companies are in business for a reason or for a number of reasons.

• To make an impact on the world.
• To satisfy a need.
• To make a given set of people happier.
• To make things easier for a given set of people.
• To make money, employ people, produce something useful……..

If you’ve got a reason to be in business then there’s a reason you need to recruit.  In…
