Today I find myself in a place that I had hoped never to return to, at least not just yet. I now have to apply myself to the recruiting merry-go-round as an applicant. It will be interesting to note if I will see in myself some of the behaviours seen from the other side of the fence. More importantly it will be very interesting to see how…

I have here’s how and why…

"Hey, quick question."



I've found that this phrase has become the preface for the majority of questions at work. If you can't answer the question…

It’s pretty easy to recognize a terrible cover letter within the first 2 seconds of reading one.

I recently came across a resume that listed a summer cashier position in 1976 as part of a person’s “professional experience.”

Benchmarking Your Organization for Pay-Per-Click Recruitment Marketing

I’ve asked each and every member of the HireClix team, whether they think they can dance. The answers ranged from no, to heck no, to things I’d prefer not to put in a blog. While we might not know how to do the worm, HireClix knows…

For ten years I have been ranting about the inefficiency of the resume and how ridiculous it was that a marketing and sales document had become a de facto credit report type document that corporations used to "screen out" people based on the way they did their career selling. Pity…
