JobsinPods) and I have decided to run a twice-monthly online radio show titled:
The Social Media Recruiting Show
It should be fun and interesting. You can listen in and call in to ask questions.
The goal of this program is to educate HR people and recruiters on the evolving social media landscape as it pertains to…

Yes there are
National skill shortages, but this national problem can only be answered locally. Every locale has its very own personality, needs, and in this case skill gaps. You weren't naive enough to think we could just start-up a national skill factory and answer the problem did you. The root of the problem is
LOCAL and to answer this problem you can't expect national answers.
Hard questions...
What are you doing…

Hey fellow recruiters, this is my first blog! Thank you for checking it out. Ok, let's cut to the chase.
Let's talk about how to win in the recruiting profession. First and foremost people have to like you. If you're a jerk and only in this for yourself, you may win a few battles, but you are destined to lose the war.
So, let's say that you're the nice guy and you don't want to finish last...well being nice doesn't guarantee that your prospects will like you. They have to…

What is a good vertical market to recruit in? I get asked this question every week.
However, most often the question is more a question of what I “feel” would be a good market to start a new desk specialty in.
“Donato, what do you feel a good new desk specialty would be?”
I say. “I feel like a great market would be placing sales reps in software companies that do real time data mining of contact information.”
They respond, “but Donato,…

This is a good one from
Work Joke! May we all consider this as it has both professional and eternal significance.
When a young salesman met his untimely end, he was informed that he had a choice about where he would spend his eternity: Heaven or Hell. He was allowed to visit both places, and then make his decision afterwards.
“I’ll see Heaven first,” said the salesman, and an angel led through the gates on a private…

Just everyone knows upfront- I am a novice at blogging, however I felt like I should just throw something out there that bothers me. I am part of a technical usergroup that I won’t mention and I just got a posting that really bothers me. I just received a posting titled “Obtain VmWare Certification Without Tests(100% Passing Guarantee)” . This obviously caught my attention and so I started reading the posting. Come to find out, there are several certifications including VmWare that you can get…

We've come to the point where we need to hire a full time recruiter at Broadlook. I'm looking for first hand advice on the best sources, methodology, anything to get the word out about our position. The position is in-house in Pewaukee, WI about 30 minutes outside of Milwaukee.
Anyone refers to me a candidate I hire, I will put up a full year of Broadlook tools as a thank you.
Cheers!

I'd forgotten the fun of Internet search.
I had a job come in during January. The position was for a senior-level manager in the R&D software group of a major storage business. The customer told me in the specifications that the person we were looking for was "an uber-geek who has the capacity and the desire…

You.
Yes
you, with the crappy automated-resume-searching-email-generating-software. You're a disgrace to this industry. You're the reason people sneer when they hear the word "recruiter" and we're sick of it. You're taking us down the tubes. If you keep this up, someday we'll have no more street cred than ambulance chasers, postal workers and school lunch ladies.... and we're not going to let that happen.
The gloves are coming off.

We’ve all heard and understand how the process of dating equates nicely to the interview process. Hell, someone even wrote a book about it. As a recruiter I’ve used the dating process as an analogy for the interview and offer process with candidates for over twenty years. Mostly because it works so well to help candidates understand the emotions that they are going through and deal with them more effectively so they won’t interfere with their decision making process. However, in working with a…
