[one more thing - these cookie cutter specs do nothing to differentiate the position nor the company]

This is the real description listed under Wanted Dyamic Head of HR. Really. Things that are emboldened were… Continue

Is Bounty Jobs A Risk To Our Industry?

I just finished writing a piece in one of the forums regarding Bounty Jobs and it is something recruiters need to be warned about now.

Maximize the ATS 30 Day Trial

You have been searching for the right applicant tracking system (ATS) and have narrowed the search down to a few selections. Now what? Some folks simply select a ATS based on documentation and demonstrations, while the others go for free 30 day trials. The trials are offered by many ATS vendors, and it is my opinion that everyone searching for an ATS can benefit from a trial. However, it is important to maximize your trial experience to ensure the ATS is a fit for you and your… Continue
