Recruiting Via New Media

Most people recognize that we are in the middle of a new media revolution, so why aren’t we seeing more recruitment advertising within online broadcasts?

Ok, from a media consumption perspective I’ll admit my household is a little extreme. 99% of all news, video and audio is delivered via the net [continue…

3 Common Interview Errors (made by the Interviewer): Lou Adler

Added by Dennis Smith on April 18, 2008 at 12:09pm — No Comments

Which offer?

You just got an offer for the services of your consultant from two clients - now what? Well first off this is a good problem to have - it shows that you're doing a good job assessing talent. But this situation does need to be handled delicately from many aspects, especially when there are multiple salespeople & clients involved.

From the client perspective we've got a "first right of refusal policy" that basically says first company to interview gets 24 hours to offer before… Continue

Alexa Changes Algorithm; Readjusts Blog Evaluations

I've never been a big fan of social media measures, but other people like them. "That's the best we have," people tell me.

Alexa, for example, is a longtime favorite for people to gage traffic, despite its obvious and admitted shortcomings. Some bloggers have even taken to using it as a valuation in order to determine ad rates. Maybe not any longer. Alexa changed its algorithm and plenty of people are cheering and weeping. Me, I'm just laughing because I had doubts (and still do)… Continue

Another great search engine.

So we all have used Google, Yahoo!, and some of us have even used Microsoft Live and Lycos. Well one search engine in particular has become a favorite of mine and that is Exalead (www.exalead.com). What I like about Exalead is its preview function. It allows you view the document in an HTML format with all the search criteria highlighted. If you click on the highlighted text at the top, it will automatically take you to where the word is located in the document. Then when you are done, with… Continue

Communication 101 - Information exchage

Communication: \kə-myü-nə-kā-shən\ - a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system

I think that we’ve all heard how email communications are a poor substitute for speaking on the phone, and that most of us believe that since the aspect of understanding someone’s emotions or sense of humor is just so tough.

However, I’m not here to complain about misunderstandings that email creates (deal with people). I’m here to talk about how the… Continue

How To Keep Going During A Slump

Everyone depends on you. Your sales efforts impact everyone. Without them, everything stops.

That’s how important you are to your company and the people in it.

Each sales week and month, you and your team will almost certainly be presented with sales challenges and periods of time that test your resolve to make the next call and, in some extreme cases, even question your career choice.

Perhaps this happens more for those of us in Recruiting and Sales because our… Continue
