Why Sarah Palin Beat CareerBuilder on Facebook

I recently wrote an article on Sarah Palin vs. CareerBuilder on Facebook - and wanted to share with the RBC Community...

With hundreds of investments you can make with online advertising, the CareerBuilder ad deal with Facebook, hasn’t proven to be one on the top of my list. What was touted earlier this year as an innovative way to break into the social media and networking space hiring - and the next big thing for CareerBuilder… Continue

Another example of why government cannot be trusted

This post is political in nature. Other than the next clause, I won't mention the word "recruiting." But in the longer term, following and understanding political, economic, social and technological issues is critical to the services we provide the business sector... Remember, be a PEST.

Finance fascinates me because of it's nexus to politics - financial policy is always tangled with political intent: The impact of lobbyists and related influencers on the… Continue

Many Retirees Must Return to the Workforce

The value of retiree's savings along with their homes has fallen and this coupled with inflation and the huge costs associated with health care** has resulted in many finding they must return to work if they are to live a lifestyle any where near what they planned. Unfortunately the current job market is such that it is particularly difficult to find employment regardless of age.

A number of retirees have found it is possible to get a part-time or temporary job or project assignment.… Continue

Turning Internal Recruitment functions into its own profitable business

A presentation I attended from Carol Mahoney (VP of Talent Acquisition @ Yahoo!) at the Australasian Talent Conference back in April has had a profound affect on me... It has stayed in my thinking and has now bubbled to the top, it is an idea I have to action, something I have to make real... Only problem is... I'm not sure how to.

Whilst her points about branding, buzz marketing, purple squirrels and purple berrets left their mark. One of the points Carol… Continue

China to spend $586 Billion on infrastructure and social welfare

Can you imagine how much human capital we could create here in the US if we spent a sum equal to the recent bailout of a bunch of spoiled risk takers on technical education, literacy, housing, and wellness? On innovation and patent protection? On civility?

Imagine so much talent that recruiters would have to really sell the company and the opportunity because of competing job offers at all levels? That would separate the wheat from the chaff!

This is what… Continue

Using Assessment Tests As A Hiring Tool

Part of every sales manager’s job is to add to the team. Hire new talent. You think you know what you’re looking for: that “spark,” that intangible “it” factor, that “something about this candidate” that tells your intuition that this is the one. You do look at resumes and previous sales figures (if they have them), but you also look for personality, drive, determination, and people skills. Not exactly an exact science, is it? There’s lots of room for error. So how do you combat that… Continue

Is anyone out there?

Good Morning, all.

Following Katrina in 2005, I relocated to West Hollywood, CA with my band from New Orleans and fell into recruiting in Downtown LA; I haven't stopped playing music and placing people since, haha.

I'm new here and am looking to link up with other recruiters to expand my market intel and to help minimize delivery time for some of my tougher requirements- namely DoD clearance level positions- a huge thorn in my side. One of my other passions is helping… Continue

Frustration is spelled R.E.S.U.M.E.

Someday I hope to find whoever instructs my 10+ year veteran consultants to turn their incredible careers into one condensed page of confusion – and kick them in the shin.

Now I realize that there are SEVERAL schools of thought with regard to resume writing. Let’s face it – selling yourself on paper is probably one of the most difficult tasks other than perhaps – changing a tire without scratching your knuckles on the pavement. As the years have passed, I have found myself the career… Continue
