Are you Taking Care of Your Clients and Candidates?

The most important part of sales is going out into the field and getting new customers. In recruiting we call this marketing or business development. The next thing is to keep them once you get them to give you a try.

Think about the last time you had friends over for a get together. The next day you got a call from a friend who was there you to tell you what a good time they had. Didn't that make you feel good?

If you call your client the day after you start working on… Continue

Celebrate The Little Victories...

My name is Mike Alaimo and I work with TransTech, an IT staffing firm based out of Chicago. My role is to lead and manage a team of 6 highly talented recruiters. I'm posting this short blog to share my recent experience in celebrating the little victories.

In recent years, we would get frustrated by earning second place in the interview process. The normal reaction would be to sigh, and justify why the client should have hired our candidate. Now, we're looking to celebrate being in… Continue

Radio Resumes by "The Bull" and Clear Channel. 94.9

The unemployment rate went up to 9.3%. Thats approximately 400,000 people in Georgia.

To aid the unemployed community, a Radio in Atlanta is doing something different,

something not many have thought about, something "out of the box...."

They are offering their listeners an opportunity to advertise them self, a 30 sec window to go on air.

They can mention their name and their story on the channels website, the radio promises to air it..

30 sec is a lot of time.. But… Continue

Greatest Guitarist Evuh!

Who is (or was) the greatest guitarist ever? I asked that question on recruitingblogs.com two years ago. It was a serious question. Someone recently replied Dolly Parton.

Think about it for a second. If you had to come up with a list of ten bands that really kicked ass where would you start?

Look, everyone has got an opinion here. But,… Continue

Need a promotion? PROMOTE Yourself!

I've spoken before about that success of an HR person, or a Recruitment professional in the corporate world is akin to an umpire in a sporting event. If you don't notice them, then they are doing something right.

However, as some of my English friends say.. "Bollocks to that"

In the Recruitment world, Agency or Internal, it is a challenge to get that promotion, unless of course you are the last person standing in an agency! I know many people who now run 200+ people… Continue

Is Social Media Changing Use of 3rd Party Staffing Vendors?

July 14, 2009

For the short term, I believe yes. It creates a forum for people to connect, and find new candidates in mass form. However, the great thing about Recruiters is that we take all the information in, whittle it down and create a nice tight package wrapped in the form of a great candidate. This is what we do.

Think about it – you post on Twitter that you’re looking for an Art Director. It gets retweeted time and time again until your inbox is overflowing and you don’t… Continue

My Bed Is My Office....

Some days there is nothing like waking up, stretching out, watching your dogs cuddled nicely on the bed, your lap top open and ready to conquer the world when you stop and wonder, why on earth would anyone want to drive into the office today? One of the benefits of owning your own business is that you can define your work life and your work place.

Why do Recruiters want to hear Objections from Clients and Candidates?

Did you know that over 60% of sales are made after the offer has been rejected 5 times? If you are a recruiter or an account manager then you need to make certain that you are hearing NO as it may happen 5 times before you get to a YES. It doesn't matter if you are asking for them to send you a resume or return a signed fee agreement. Unfortunately 75% of the recruiters and salespeople out there will give up after the first rejection. This explains why 20% of the team closes 80% of the… Continue
