Newspapers

This is an important relationship as well. Prior to the fair, advertising is key to let students know you are coming.

How would an Ideal Applicant Tracking System look like ?

Despite the widespread availability of applicant tracking and resume management solutions, none of

tags, and are bloated with features like ERP integration and succession planning that are irrelevant to

alot of businesses, leaving them with no choice but to rely on informal methods to manage job applications.

In my opinion an applicant tracking system should:

Making the Case for Executive Search

With the state of the current economy–I’ll go out on a limb and say virtually all companies–are toning down their forecasts for the coming year–battening down the hatchets so to speak. So why would anyone spend money on an executive search firm to find talent–particularly with unemployment running so high?

First, think of how hard it was to get approval to hire that open headcount. Clearly the business sees filling that role in this economy of paramount importance. Otherwise, you’d… Continue

Contingency placement: The recruiters craps shoot

We all understand gambling (i.e. the house wins) and its high risks and long shot rewards, but what many people don’t understand is that most recruiters do it everyday and lose.

Contingency search is the bread and butter of our industry allowing companies to view prospective candidates and only incur a fee if they hire the candidate and on the surface it looks like a win-win. However, with the state of the economy many companies are unintentionally using this search model against… Continue

Staying Focused In A Down Economy

I've had the opportunity to chase a couple of searches in the last six months that were out of my specialty. Two companies wanted local marketing experts, a Seattle company wanted a recruiter, two tech firms wanted some high value placements and I worked on some splits with a friend.

The results were mixed, because I found candidates and made a placement, but the time lost in pursuing candidates outside of the social media field was a real drag on my other business, and the social… Continue
