How I won the SourceCon Sourcing Challenge by Joshua Kahn

Purple Squirrels and Paranoia: the first SourceCon challenge of 2008 and how I won it.

What a trip, I won the SourceCon challenge. The reasons I did are a mix of luck, timing, help from friends, inspiration, well placed breaks, spying on what the other contestants were doing, some slight misdirection, and some skill. I think with the right mix of those components anyone of the other people participating could've won. The differences between us all were slight.

I… Continue

A Poor Man's ATS

This posting is probably applicable only to contract recruiters, and people who are doing contingent placements on the side. About 6 months ago, I was trying to figure out away, to store all of the resumes I found, for future use. I did not like the idea, of keeping them on my computer, because of the hassles of transferring so many resumes to my computer, and then later using a client’s computer, and not having access to all of those resumes I saved. It also seemed redundant to always be… Continue

Building a recruitment strategy in a social world

I began writing a post on social networking the end of January – can’t believe it is already March! Due to a variety of events I’m just getting back to writing and what I quickly discovered is that this is a very different post than I would have shared in January and I think it has a lot to do with the continued advancements of social media. So, its quite appropriate to see that the subject has influenced the writer and I hope that I can share this learning experience with you as… Continue

Thought of the day - Is an intervention necessary?

I used to have a regional manager (when I used to work for that big, international, public monstrosity of a recruiting firm) that would make my recruiters cry every time he visited my office. We fought constantly over his approach to "managing" MY team. Although I think direct feedback is necessary as you develop people, it can be done in a way that doesn't leave your team member feeling like they were just hit by a mack truck.

I tend to be very protective of my peeps. I go to bat… Continue

List Metrics; how to measure quality in a list?

Proving ROI is what will empower one of my clients at Broadlook to sign up for year #2, 3, etc. Without good metrics, corporate budgets won’t open up year after year. To help my clients track ROI, I’ve put together some concepts over the years to help examine the pipeline of sourced data.

Without a perfect record of all hires, measured against years past, ROI is hard to prove in a single year. Don’t get me wrong, some companies do this very… Continue

Looking for something in all the wrong places.

I am looking for a software program where I can add candidates into a pool and have recruiters enter that pool and pick on or more then one to talk too about positions available. I want to have a bubble or something similar above the candidates name, or a roll over that would enable a recruiter to see some of the qualifications of that person in the pool. Does anyone know if something like this exists already?

March Madness and the Workplace

The 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship begins Tuesday, March 18. The tournament brings Cinderella teams, buzzer beaters, rabid fans and, of course, tournament brackets. And workplaces around the country are caught up in March Madness. The ease of organization is what makes the tournament attractive for office pools. Brackets are readily available for download from web sites like ESPN.com and NewYorkTimes.com. A recent survey by Vault Inc. reports that 57% of employees participate in NCAA… Continue
