I have seen so much great talent this year and even more companies that ignore the fact that they have stiff competition for talent. I see them assuming that the "same old same old" will hook them and land them too.

My take on MPC Candidates

This is a response I wrote to a question on linkedin a few months back.

An MPC has to have it all there in the first place - the skills, the work history, realistic compensation expectations.

However, here is what seperates an MPC from just a good candidate - in other words, someone I'm going to spend TIME marketing....

1. Loyalty and exclusivity. I ask my potential MPC's for 2 to 5 day EXCLUSIVITY - in other words, someone my competition can't deliver to the… Continue

The process of building a webpage is much more than learning code and picking colors. It actually forces you to crystallize your offers and build a cohesive brand around those offers. It was in this process of… Continue

How to Tame 500-Pound Gorillas (a.k.a., Your Hiring Managers)

I came across this on www.ere.net. I thought I should share this with all.

In a recruiter survey, 50% of most hiring problems are attributed to the lack of assessment, interviewing, and recruiting skills on the part of the hiring manager.

Taming this 500-pound gorilla is the big problem that should be addressed, not seeing more candidates who won’t get hired by anyone. From this cynical perspective, here are some ideas on how to tame your personal gorillas:

Email killed the telephone star . . . ?

From Christmas luxuries to true love, the internet now professes to be an in-house, at-your-fingertips solution for almost anything.

Now web experts www.peoplecompare.co.uk ask whether the ever-growing convenience and popularity of the medium means vocal communication will eventually get a… Continue

Claudia Help!

I have noticed more and more candidates blurring the lines of business and social networking online. Here’s a recent example that almost caused me to lose a client: one of my candidates sent a LinkedIn request to a hiring manager before her interview. Both the HM and I thought that was odd, but we thought it was just over-enthusiasm. She didn’t stop there though; she invited the CEO to connect as… Continue
