If a Tree Falls in the Forest...

Dear Claudia,

A friend I went to college with has applied for a position at the company I work for. He's been out of work for a while and definitely has the skills to do the job, but there's a small problem: he lied about graduating and his degree on the resume. We don't verify education in the background check, and I really don't consider this to be a deal breaker; should I just let it slide?

Gatekeeper

Dear Gate Keeper,

I'm not sure I… Continue

The NY Post kills Wall Street pay packages!

...by paying outgoing News Corp President Peter Chernin a severance package worthy of the Wall Street folks they love to hate.

As part of Mr. Chernin’s severance contract, he will receive lucrative television and movie production deals with the company, as well as perks like a car and driver and the use of a private jet. He received a $34 million pay package last year, according to a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Mr. Chernin’s TV and movie deals… Continue

Twitteriffic Susan Kang Nam Gets Creative with Reasons to Twitter

Award_Image1 by pinkolivefamily. A big question I am often asked about Micro-Blogging service, Twitter, is simply this, "So what do you do on Twitter, just tell people what you're doing?" And my answer is usually, "No". I use Twitter to network with early adopters and people all over the world who have similar interests in social media and web2.0 technology. I post helpful links about careers, employment, and job searching. And I use it to promote my…

No thanks, I just don't like them

There are a plethora of reasons why a manager can (and will) disqualify a candidate. Sometimes this decision is made for a logical reason, other times it seems as though they reject resumes a la cranky toddler rejecting vegetables. If the latter is the case, how and what can a recruiter communicate to the candidate?

I have been in this dilemma before and if the explanation was too outlandish or altogether nonexistent I could be vague and apologize to the candidate that our customer… Continue

memoirs of a guest host on TTC

I can't thank Susan Burns enough for allowing me to host TTC last week. Donato was very kind to jump in, always adding great insight into any discussion on search.

I hope that you may have learned a little, or we were able to get you to expand your definition of what search includes. Thinking outside the box and being quick to adapting your strategies is often the key to success in this environment.

So as promised, Donato Diorio of… Continue

Pre Employment Tests Affected by Disabilities Act

A change to the Americans with Disabilities Act could effect the way most companies conduct pre employment tests.

Amendments were made to the ADA beginning January 1, which broadened the legal definition of a disability to include more physical limitations. And while job applicants are usually used to getting a job offer, passing a pre employment test an drug test and then getting hired, that soon may… Continue

Building My Case...

I've always wanted to make a career of writing. Recruiting is something I got into after college because nobody wants an English Lit major to write for them unless they've already written something that's been published but nobody seems to want to publish your stuff unless you've been published (the ole Catch 22.) My first real job after college (after a brief bought of delivering pizzas--long story) was as a project manager for a sign and lighting maintenance company. Consequently, I know more… Continue

Are you listening?

Interviewing can be stressful for everyone. But one of the most important things to do when you are in an Interview is LISTEN. In feedback that I have been receiving from clients today is that candidates right now are not listening to the questions that are being asked. They are just diving into why they are the right fit for the job.

Make sure you listen to the questions that are being asked and answer the question is a direct way back. Too wordy of an answer or giving too many examples… Continue

I'm Abe Froman!!

I know what a friggin’ Recruiting Pipeline is. It’s simple! You bundle up some resumes and email them on a regular basis to a hiring manager. Done! Pipeline! Bam!

However, this fresh-out-of-school, Jonas Brothers listening, scruffy Nerf herder Recruiter was telling ME that I didn’t know what a Recruiting Pipeline was. He said I had it all wrong. Me?! Wrong!?! Wha..wha…I’m Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Recruiting!!!

I took a deep breath. I had to calm… Continue

You Make Great Mistakes

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.

Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.

And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough… Continue

Shark Attacks down, economy seems to be the cause

http://tinyurl.com/sharkattacks

Shark attacks are down. Seriously they are. Why? Less people are going on vacations where they can get eaten by the big fishes.

I try to see the silver lining in things when possible, I guess this counts! Anybody else have anything to report on the economy that is positive? Please throw it in here.

I also heard condom sales are up significantly, but that is a story for a different day (or format)......

Taking the Mystery out of the process – companies trying to catch up

As a 3rd party recruiter I’ve talked with my client companies and candidates about how one of my major roles is to take the fear and mystery out of the interviewing process and to fill that void with information and certainty. Well it now looks like some companies may finally be getting around to understanding the benefit.

In doing some recent marketing research I found one company that actually spelled out their process for candidates on their website, and even explained both the… Continue

Resume Writing: What do I do?

‘What do I do’ is an interesting question you should be asking yourself when you are writing a resume. Let us begin with the following idea:

If you do not know, how is a recruiter going to know?

You may find it amusing that I mention this; however it is not uncommon for me (and many others within the industry) to read the resume of a candidate and come out if it wondering what this person actually does. This person is one who has many skills and tries to convey… Continue
