Increased applicant flow is giving you a false sense of security

Times have changed.... quickly.

Companies have re-gained the upper hand in the previously so-called 'candidate market'. Applicant flow for open positions is growing, almost to where it was right after the Dot.com bubble burst.

The 'post and pray' strategy is now the 'post and pick' strategy. The mis-conception is that quantity = quality, sure it increases the liklihood of a successful hire, but your screening and your interview process needs to be… Continue

My Networking Value...

Over the the last 5 years my networking strategy was really more about quantity. As I watched my networking value grow in terms of quantity, the necessity for an infusion of quality became much more apparent. For the past year or two my efforts in growing my networking value have been great, but not entirely focused on quality.

2009 is all about quality, as I often find myself wasting time with serving only the quantity side of the balance in my network.

I'm very much… Continue

Using Twitter as a Recruiting Tool

Who likes a clock watcher anyway?

My desk is situated in either a very fortunate or unfortunate position depending on who you ask. I'm close enough to a window to see what the weather is doing if I feel so inclined, but more importantly I am located right next to the door leading to the exit of the building. If I were the clock watching type it would mean a very speedy exit at the end of the day, but since I am not, I instead get to witness the mass exodus.

As I witness this take place each afternoon I begin to… Continue

Two Fundamentals to Hiring Top Talent

To hire top talent you must have something valuable to offer them. You probably think I am talking about valuables like salaries and benefits. No, these are not valuables, these are basic need requirements. Valuables are more substantive and far more important.

The valuables I’m referring to are 1) A sound business model, and 2) Great leadership.

No one wants to work for… Continue
