FEEDBACK and Grains of Salt

I like to see myself as an open person, willing to try things, willing to take feedback on board, give it a try.



When I was younger and not as confident, I would take things said to me as gospel, especially as I moved into a Corporate environment, where coming from the Agency world I did feel like a fish out of water initially. I was probably treated that way too, you know, a Agency Recruiter in an HR world. I was viewed with suspicion. Too Salesy to fit within the HR world. Feedback… Continue

Did Someone Tweet They Needed A Job?

RecruiterGuy on Twitter I find Twitter fascinating. I see it as many different things ranging from a search engine to an instant messaging device to a blogging platform to a time suck. And while these are just a few of the things that I myself have used it for - I love them all.



One of the first things recruiters have been struggling to understand since it's release is if… Continue

Leading in adversity. Your toughest test yet

Trust me on this. You have never had a test of your leadership until you have managed a recruitment business through a recession.



It’s beyond tough. Balancing falling revenues while trying to retain key staff. Communicating critical fee generation targets while at the same time not “spooking” the troops and leaving people depressed and panicky. And then there is the myriad of decisions about cost control, pricing levels, and strategy.



Really, who would want to be running a… Continue

He found a job: My Interview with Joerg Schulze-Clewing

I've started a series where I interview the every day job seeker and have them share what's worked in their job search. Thought you'd find it interesting.



Joerg-



Thank you again for taking the time to share with us what you've done to land your job.



Can you give a brief over view of your background and the circumstances that led to your unemployment?



My background is electrical engineering, my degree is from RWTH Aachen University in Germany. I… Continue

Credit Inquiries for the Jobless - Insanity

This is absolutely insane: http://tinyurl.com/msglu8



The New York Times reported that companies are now using credit checks to narrow down a pool of candidates - you're kidding me, right? I understand for finance positions, government jobs and other positions that would require stellar credit, but for data entry clerks and personal trainers? Give me a break!



It is hard enough in today's economy for people to find a job opening, stand out enough to get noticed with a cover… Continue

Are job boards dying…or evolving?

There are an endless number of articles predicting the imminent death of job boards. Yet this one caught my eye – it was thorough and it was re-Tweeted a number of times. (In the author’s defense, it was aimed at job seekers – and despite the provocative title, was fairly balanced. Nonetheless, CB took issue!)



But I (as you might guess) beg to differ. I think we’re asking the wrong question. The real… Continue

The Perfect Follow-up Letter is a must

Post Interview Follow-up



The Perfect Follow-up Letter



Mark Warren



Follow-up after the interview starts with a carefully written follow-up letter as soon as you can get to your computer. If you do not send a well thought out letter using perfect English, spelling and punctuation do not count on a second interview. Remember that anything you put in writing can’t be taken back and there may be people involved in the decision making process who will not meet you but… Continue

Now THAT'S what I call social media

So I'm playing with one of those online resume searching deals ( CV fox for those of you keeping track), and about ten pages into my returns, I find a PDF that's actually an attendee list from a convention held by professionals within my specialty.

So, I'm going to like, socially reach out to them and see if I can't change someones life for the better.


Just thought I'd offer encouragement to the sourcers out there - keep on digging. :)

How to Make Piles of Cash in the Magical Land of Social Media Recruiting.

Once upon a time there was a magical land where Recruiters made heaps and piles of cash. Pit rooms, placement bells, residual commissions and 400% mark ups grew on every tree. Every day was sunny and every resume was perfect. Every submittal was a fit too, no questions. Then one day….

Depression 2.0 occurred.



We Recruiters couldn’t pay for afford Starbucks and were…

Great hires / bad hires: how to tell the difference BEFORE you make the offer

You hire someone. They don’t work out. They leave. What is it that you remember and say about them in the past tense? It’s rarely the fact that they didn’t know how to work the numbers, or that they couldn’t put the pieces of a widget together. No, it’s almost always their soft skills that generate conversation—their personality, character and values.



Two recent scenarios from my personal experience serve as good examples: A multi-generation family-run, team-oriented company in… Continue

Pick Up the Dang Phone (and take it to the bank).



At the risk of starting a blizzard of spitballs and chewing gum wads, I'm going to bring up a touchy subject. Why the heck not? I never won a popularity contest, was never voted class president (or class anything), and had to invite my own date to my prom. Hell, when I was a kid, even my mother sold my favorite blouse at a garage sale for ten cents.



Ever know when people screen their calls? You just never seem to connect, but the voicemail doesn't pick up…
