IT companies in Germany build up a community to recommend applicants ITsax.de

We have just launched a new community on HR recruiters and CEOs of 17 IT companies in Saxony, Germany who recommend their applicants among each other. How? They recommend the good ones, who cannot be hired due to several reasons, to the other members of the communities. The recommendation is done by a reference code that is given to the denied applicants by the recommending organization. After that the applicant can go to the community-exclusive portal (… Continue

Zombie Candidates

I don't know how many times I have to learn this lesson but it makes me laugh/cry/scream everytime I learn it. You know how sometimes you can be so fixated on a candidates skills and how perfectly they align with a job you are recruiting for that you forget to read the notes? Then you call the candidate and find out they are pure crazy and what ensues can only be described as a tragicomedy of sorts. Yeah. Did that today. Candidate has apparently applied to the same company a million times by… Continue

Gunnin' for the Boss

Dear Claudia,

I’ll cut to the chase: my boss is an idiot, and I want his job. I think I can do it better than him, faster, and probably a whole lot cheaper for the company. The CEO will be spending some time in our office over the next month, and I’d like to use the opportunity to tell him my suggestions to improve our department performance. I think I can make a good business case to replace him; do you think it’s a good idea, or job suicide?

Wannabe

Dear… Continue

In This Economy...

In this economy...

I won't bother getting up early, because there is no business anyway.

I won't make many calls, because - "Who is hiring?"

I'll go out to lunch with friends, because nothing is happening.

ARE YOU CREATING YOUR OWN RECESSION?

If you are thinking like this, you are.

I did some heavy business development today. Since everyone has been bellyaching about the economy, I didn't expect much.

Guess what - I… Continue

Fat New Yawkahs

Today, a Federal Appeals court upheld New York City's proposed regulation requiring chain restaurants with at least 15 outlets across the country to post calories on menus and menu boards. The rationale is that displaying such information is a reasonable way to curb obesity because it forces people to know… Continue

On Linkedin - Size does matter.

Hi everyone,

I know this is nuts, but I was up all Sunday night, thinking about all my candidate and recruiter contacts who keep harassing me on how to use linkedin. I have to admit that most users of this group are pretty connected and use linkedin pretty aggressively, but then there are so many other of my contacts that are on linkedin but still don't really use it effectively.

Many of my contacts know that I believe in a big linkedin network. (on the quality - quantity… Continue

Trust Me.....No Really

Should I use a funding or factoring broker? For any business owner-It's a valid question worth asking and one that deserves a lot of attention to detail when answering. Theoretically, using a broker should be the best option for a company looking in to payroll funding or factoring receivables. In a perfect world, any logical person would think that a broker who is well connected to funding resources would be able to keep his/her clients best interests in mind when connecting them with a… Continue

Good Resumes in Bad Times

In this economy, I wanted to reach out to candidates and give the do’s and don'ts of writing not just a good, but an EFFECTIVE RESUME. I asked my very opinionated team of K. Russo Associates executive recruiters to write down all the things that we as recruiters (and therefore Human Resource managers) find helpful and annoying when reading over a resume.

The Top DO’s for Good Resume Writing

• Use a clean and simple font; stay away from anything cursive or hard to… Continue

Practice Makes Perfect

One of the things I really began to pine for in this recession that is affecting many of us is the lack of sourcing "practice" that I used to get every day. I've found a couple paths to keep my skills cutting-sharp and I'll share them with you today in the MagicMethod Phone Sourcing Chat but I expect you to share yours as well! See you at noon (EST) in class. Don't be late.

Job boards are in it for themselves

While browsing the ‘news web’ this morning I pick up an interesting article entitled “Beware job board CV advice”. The headline immediately caught my eye and the content certainly raised a few questions.

Written by Nick Gendler, a career coach at Workjoy.co.uk, the piece discusses the author’s experience (via a colleague) with a CV review/writing service, offered by [continue… Continue

Surprisingly enough the answer was right under my nose

When working on a position that is open for a while things tend to change a time or two. The manager wants a different certification, more experience, less experience, an advanced degree, or a whole different skill set if you give them enough time. Unfortunately, this is the kind of position I have just recently begun the recruiting process on. It has been open for a few months and the manager has reviewed and declined over 60 resumes (and counting).

I've only been in the loop a week… Continue
