The Tone Deaf Candidate

It used to be called ‘optics’ but cleaver journalists have coined a new term—‘tone deaf’. It’s the descriptor used when, say, a company takes bailout money and buys a $50M jet. It’s the description of someone whose champagne tastes are out of step with our national beer budget.

Don't find yourself the ‘tone deaf’ candidate.

If you haven’t been in the job market for some time, you’ll be well advised to get current on the trends in compensation. Don’t find yourself… Continue

Overcoming Bothersome Meeting Behaviors: Blackberry Checkers, Cell Phone Interupters, etc...

Do you ever find yourself in a meeting sitting across the table from a coworker that has his head down, clearly not paying attention to what is going on in the room? Instead, he is sitting with his hands under the table responding to email messages on his Blackberry, while another participant's cell phone begins to ring to the tune of Fergie. Surely you are not the only person that has experienced these distractions.

Beyond.com recently polled its members to ask, "What behavior do… Continue

the little things do matter

- what can I do to set me apart from other recruiters…easy - the little things do matter. Do you actually listen to the candidates you are talking to? Some will tell you a story, about themselves, a pet or a situation. Take notice. Remember it.

Did they tell you a story about their dog - next time you are at the store, if there is a funny card, with a dog on it - send it to them. Did they tell you a story about going to the “big game.” Next time you see an article on the web, about… Continue

50,000 Jobs! Could This Be a GOOD Thing?

The NBC Nightly News reported that the US economy lost 50,000 jobs . . . TODAY! (That's right, in ONE day!)

This is frightening and disturbing news. For those who are currently unemployed, I'm certain this adds to the frustration and fear that they must be feeling. For those of us who still have our jobs this continuously bleak economic news gives us cause to look over our shoulder and wonder, "might I be next?" And what does it say about opportunities recruiters?

But what… Continue

How Good Is Your Mission Statement?

Many executives lose interest in them. Some communicators dismiss them. And a few people have called for their death. But a mission statement and its various counterparts — purpose, vision, core values — provides a brief description of a company’s purpose and answers why the organization exists for the publics it strives to serve.

As Philip Kotler once put it, the mission statement acts as an invisible hand that guides employees to work independently and yet collectively toward the… Continue

Job Orders and Bedside Manner

There’s nothing more basic—or more vital to your success—than the ability to write a strong, clear and qualified job order or search assignment.

Writing up a great job order is part art and part science. The science revolves around information: getting a description of… Continue
