Plan your recruitment- Hire the right man:

Have you ever regretted hiring the wrong man for a job because you were in so much of a hurry to get someone hired? Most Small Businesses are run without either the support of a Human Resource department or without sufficient amount of planning in hiring the right candidate for an important job opening. Although time is a precious instrument in running a business, some of it needs to be spent planning out the employment process to get the person right for the job.

There are various ways to… Continue

"How much for a recruitment video?"

Recruiting Has to Go Video, right. Video, combined with the Internet, is a game-changer for recruiting, right, as Kevin Wheeler has stated recently.

But I still hear it all the time - "How much for a video?," "It too expensive?" In ADOTAS I came across an article that is retweeted below. This article answers the cost question very well, but the answer is it depends. Read the article to see why. When thinking strategically about your… Continue

Will the REAL Recruiters please stand up!

Buzz buzz. This'll be fun. In the middle of the day from hell I had today, my mind drifted to a more secure, happier place, and began to use itself again to think. Unfortunately those thoughts are always that great. I do amuse myself though...

Here I am neck deep in URGENT requisitions, you know the kind where the world will end or the company will go broke if I don't find a two toed camel herder with 6 years java development skills. I have my C level executives calling me, wondering… Continue

Easy Recruitment Model for Today's Economy

Put These in your Break Room. Star Wars Chopsticks!!

Everyday recruiters get up, dress, put their shoes, go to work and try to hire someone.

But it’s been a nightmare.

Hiring Managers have been overly picky. Candidates go through a multiple round of interviews, given urine, blood, and semen samples just to prove they can do the job.

Then after they get hired, it’s like Welcome to the U.S.S.R all over again. Community coffee spoon, handful of napkins, and a few abandoned coffee mugs in the… Continue

Making Money with Twitter Pt. I

In part I of our series on how to monetize Twitter, we explore a very basic method. If you haven't yet heard, Twitter is the new "big thing" on the interwebs. Everyone and their mother is on Twitter.

A Change in the way you will soon be reqruiting...that makes alot of sense.

Hello,

I am reaching out to you personally to share something that everyone is finding quite amazing. As an HR specialist I'm sure you can appreciate the following observation...that the staffing and HR placement process has serious flaws causing serious overhead expenses to the client. What happens all to often is that a candidate is selected for a various role and after a short period of settling in either the client or the candidate is not a good fit. This candidate churn can cost… Continue

Recruiting Model & Actionable Information

From $ apropos

This post will be somewhat tangential in terms of the SNS line of thought, although I would like to respond/think about Ken Forrester’s blog post “Searching for the New Recruiting Model”. Ken describes a conversation with a contact about how everything is being turned upside down, and that we now have a need to reassess what constitutes a workable recruiting model.

A lot of information is… Continue

The Art of the Casual Greeting

The art of the casual greeting sounds simple in terms but can be daunting (or forgotten) to some. I’ve recently coached a few candidates who were afflicted with that serious condition that I have termed to be “greeting-challenged”.

The greeting-challenged individual has trouble remembering to keep their energy up when meeting a new person. They forgot to reciprocate with questions when someone asks them how they’re doing. They omit a positive sentiment, leaving the listener amid a… Continue

General Interview Tips

1) Be flexible in what you are willing to do in the position you are applying for. 2) Don't discuss salary on the first interview. 3) Always be dressed professionally for an interview. Wear a suit (preferably navy blue, black or gray). It is always better to be as conservative as possible. 5) Ask what the company or manager is looking for in the person they will be hiring, what is important to them aside from the technical skills necessary, and what… Continue

Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause or Play Your Career …

Our careers are continually in motion. You move in real time whether you are currently employed or not. It does not always feel like you make progress as you measure your success by how much you have truly accomplished and in what period of time it took to get there. Whether you wish you could hurl yourself into the future and fast-forward your career into a more profitable time, or you could rewind it back to a place when you were perhaps at the top of your game, always remember the choice is… Continue

Social Networking Services - workflow $ apropos

From $ apropos

In my last post I spent some time worrying about whether adopting new SNS based technologies was really worth the trouble, and if it wouldn’t be better to sort of temper our acceptance of the technology with a need to preserve some of the more traditional ways of developing a professional network. With that in mind, I have laid out a few points to keep in mind when attempting to integrate… Continue

Winning Business

The Hub It is clear that the current recruitment market is a tough place to be at the moment. Over the last 10 years, the £26bn UK industry has been saturated by small entrepreneurial businesses looking for a slice of the action.
