The World's Most Innovative Companies

It is interesting that Nike is the only one listed that was also on the list last year. I am surprised LG wasn’t higher

I learned the value of a personal network.

I have only been in recruiting for a year and a half now. My first gig after going through Internet Recruiter training at Duran HCP was at Google, where I was able to build a small network of friends. When my contract ended, I applied for every sourcing job I could find and some would get back to me, but they went no further. Instead it was through a friend I met at Google that I was able to score my next gig at Yahoo!. At Yahoo! I met many more people, and when my contract ended there, they… Continue

How To Bond Without A Camp Fire

There’s an excellent article today by Ken Forrester over at ERE titled Bond With Your Candidates that boldy asserts that “before the Internet, Recruiters successfully filled jobs without a Resume or Job Description.”

Imagine that!

All kidding aside, he’s absolutely right and this reminder - slash - piece of advice can also be extended to not only our… Continue

Recruiting the Old Fashioned Way

Okay... I admit it... Traditional networking and headhunting isn't as easy as it used to be. It's difficult to get back into the swing of "dialing for dollars". Any new tips on luring skilled IT professionals who are otherwise 'not looking'? I am still confused about how to go about blogging so any tips on that are also greatly appreciated. I am sure my colleauges would like any tips on using the Internet as a tool as well.

Happy Hunting!

Accountability

You know what they say, be careful about pointing a finger at others because you’ll have 4 more pointing back at yourself.

Sadly, there are far too many so-called professionals who fail to take responsibility in even the most trivial circumstances.

“Accountable” can be defined as being “answerable” or “responsible” for one’s actions. Unfortunately, organizational accountability today is lacking.

Specifically, I want to focus on personal accountability of the… Continue

The Future Lies With The Olds

In the online recruitment world we spend a lot of time asking questions like “What’s the next social network the new wave of job seekers will be using?” and “How can we reach out to Generation Y?” The truth is we should probably be putting our effort into answering the question “How do I get my dad to use a job board?” Why?

My first blog

Okay, so I have to admit that this blogging thing is all very new to me. Usually I do not have time to do this type of thing during the day and I want to leave my computer off when I go home. However, I have really been trying to open up my network even further and take my recruiting to the next level.

Customer Love & Diplomacy

I clicked on a website recently and found the words “Customer Love” in the “About Us” section of the page. I was reading the recent press release about the company and when I got to the last paragraph, it said, “For answers not appearing in our FAQs, please contact Customer Love” at such-and-such number.

Customer Love?

That sounds a lot like Dubya saying, “Too many OB-GYN’s aren't able to practice their love with women…”… Continue

1. You meet the IT Hiring Manager of a company you are prospecting to in the elevator, you have already left voicemails for him and you now have a minute or so in the elevator with this Hiring Mgr. This Hiring Mgr knows your name already from your voicemails. How would you sell your services and perhaps arrange a meeting with this Hiring Mgr.

2. You are given a referral by a consultant who just came off a project… Continue
