Whether you are just joining the series or have been reading this series from the beginning, we are essentially at the same point. From here on out in the series we have begun a very unique journey. I can provide you with the starting point but I cannot provide you with the end point. Further, if you choose this assignment there is no way to return to where you have been because that place in time no longer exists. So let’s begin.

I stated above that we were beginning a journey. Like…

We’re not quite sure how any recruitment professional worth their salt can get through work without knowing which fictional recruiter they are. How can you pick up the phone, screen candidates and work your way through a mountain of CVs without knowing whether you’re Morpheus or the Hogwarts Sorting…

Ever thought about what if the effectiveness with which a task is performed can be simplified further and that to with the right tools. Now, wouldn’t that make all the difference?

In view of this need, there are certain tips that might prove useful and even boost your recruiting process nonetheless. So let’s begin with the popular Social Media sites…

Here we are! Back from holidays, back in the office, back to pushing recruiting innovation forward. At least that’s our goal for 2015. I know, you will already have read a lot of articles about the upcoming trends of this year - but still you have not read ours I am sure you will not have heard about eye tracking or voice analysis for HR, right? Here is our personal post on what trends HR won’t be able to avoid this year! Enjoy!

It would be utterly stupid for us to argue that the appearance doesn't play an important role nowadays. If you take some time to think about it then you will realise that, the better you look the more likely you are to get what you want. Especially if you are a woman. How many times have you heard of a story about a woman who got a really important job at a firm, for example, without actually fulfilling all the credentials that were required? And if someone asked why she got the place then…

Last year, we shared articles and social media groups that support professional development and networking for HR and…

There are quite a large variety of lenders and different type of loans available in the market that one becomes highly confused while selecting a single loan and a good quality lenders in a specific area. The best choice you have regarding loans is the payday loans as it is quite beneficial to fulfill your need of money when suddenly a need arises.

If you are not familiar with the payday loans, do not worry. I am going to introduce payday loans in little while. If…

The first point to make is that you have an employer brand already – it may not be the perception of your organisation as a place of work that you want, or it may not be an accurate reflection what it’s actually like to work for your organisation. However, the question to ask is if it is stronger or weaker than you suppose. The reality is that it is probably vague, unclear and without distinguished characteristics. Can it do the job in differentiating you from your competitors?

For recruiters, LinkedIn’s new updates to its InMail credits and renewals seem to be good news to its users. Because these changes can improve its user’s efficiency thus their performance too will ameliorate simultaneously. I’m sure that by now you too are asking the same question as me i.e. what updates, LinkedIn has made to its InMail credits and renewals?  So let’s find out about these changes and use them to our advantage.

But before we move on to the nitty -…

If there is one thing that many people need to know is the fact that carpets can become the home of many allergens. If you do not make sure that you regularly clean your carpets and you are going to find yourselves facing perhaps one of your worst nightmares. An annoying allergy that will not let you go. Imagine having to go through the process of drinking pills and perhaps applying creams all over your face and your body simply because of the fact that you did not take the time to get your…

Reading online articles about how best to formulate a compelling employer brand invigorates the debate on the role of a company brand verses an employer brand in attracting and retaining top talent. Are they fundamentally the same thing or are they two different concepts?

They are and they’re not. Your employer brand denotes your reputation as an employer and hopefully an image of your organisation as a ‘great place to work’. However, the reality is that your company only…

The economic status in the world is not at its best and people are very careful about how they spend an the amount of money they use to get items.  Since the business world is also very competitive, many would do some form of research to find out the normal rates from different providers. All this is done in order to get the best rates and be able to save a substantial amount of money.  Gaming laptops are the in thing and they have slowly replaced the desktop computers that were originally…

Lending companies are willing to extend the deadline as long as you give them a guarantee that you can pay your loan. Established businesses have a good chance of getting their requests approved since they have been doing well in the industry. However, if you own a start-up business, it would be difficult to get a business loan approval.

Despite the challenges, you should not lose hope as there are companies that are willing to lend their money to start-up…

What do Deloitte, Genentech, Intel and Stryker all have in common?

 Easy. They have each won recognition in 2014 for not only creating a great work environment but translating that commitment to the treatment of their candidates – even the ones they don’t hire.

They’ll also be joining us for our next webinar Thursday January 22nd at 11 PST/2pm EST to…

This week I had a conversation with a colleague about how essential crisp well-positioned communication is in business, how much effort it takes, and how rare it is. Later, I had a twitter interaction about new graduates trying to get traction in job searches and how important it is for them to show a human side instead of just being a cover page template. These…

Attracting talent and developing a strong presence as a desirable company to work for is going to become even more essential in 2015. Up to 61% of employees are planning on looking for a new role this year and some industries, including digital, technology…

How easy it is to apply previous experience to current circumstances. Such was the case when I emailed colleagues last week about a trip to New York I was on as a chaperone for my son’s thespian troupe. I received responses like:

• “Ugh, teenagers. Good luck.”
• “How’d you get roped into that?”
• “Better you than me!”

This trip was one of…
