Does recruiting make you crazy?

I have been in the recruiting industry since 2002 and am convinced that recruiting makes you nuts. I don't know what it is about this business, but it seems to drive everyone mad.

Is it because we deal with people on a daily basis and because of those interactions we lose ourselves? How many times have you had a candidate lie to you? Tell you to your face one thing and then completely do the other. How about the temporary candidate whose Grandmother has died 6 times in the past 6… Continue

Staying Busy

I haven't written anything in a while and thought I'd leave an update. Spent most of last week searching for the right candidate for a house job order. Very difficult search, but I think I found the right person. I'm waiting for feedback from the client.

I have not been pounding out the marketing calls like I had hoped I would be. Mainly due to other things that need to be done. We are getting ready to go to CTIA in Vegas in a couple of weeks. We want to do something special on the… Continue

When Blogs Die

As a part-time blogger I was intrigued by a recent article in the Business Journal about the death of the corporate blog. It seems that many of the blogs started by high-level executives have grown more dormant than the planning committee for Rudy Guliani’s inaugural ball.

Can anyone be at all surprised? I hope not. Even a short stint into the corporate world makes you realize that many companies are far too eager to find a panacea for all of their ails.

While I applaud… Continue

Do you need a leader or a manager?

Let’s face it, not everyone is cut out to “lead” others. We have all witnessed people in and promoted to positions in which they are just not a fit.

Getting off to a good start--how many calls a day do you make?

You've just hired a new recruiter and want them to see success as soon as possible, to keep them motivated and excited and making money.

I was having this conversation just the other day with a good friend who has hired her first employee and as I'm getting ready to do the same, we were brainstorming, trying to remember back to the days when we started and how we worked then versus now.

We both agreed that having a daily plan is crucial, as is having set productivity… Continue
