Law of attraction and obtaining a new position.

I have been using the law of attraction to obtan employment. The first time I used it, I visualized the type of employment that I wanted to have right down to having a ladies room located directly across from my office. I made my list and checked it twice and left the rest up to the Universe to deliver. Long story, short, I received a phone call 3 weeks after making my list and most of the things that I wanted for my next gig were offered to me. I interviewed for the position and was offered… Continue

They can review the incoming resumes.

So with all this… Continue

Today's bargains can cloud future hiring decisions

Everyone loves a bargain, but when hiring talented professionals it can sometimes come back to bite you as you continue to grow your staff. We recently worked with a client that has experienced just such a problem and the fix is hard to swallow. The client has (with our help) found some very talented professional as they moved from a three to a ten person team. Originally they weren’t able to offer top dollar salaries, but because of the strong growth and current technology they’re jobs were… Continue

Hire the "Right" Employees and Cut the Baggage

Have you ever noticed the only planes you read about in the paper are the ones that

crash?

This is similar to when your company loses a client. Think back on an occasion when a

Employ the right staff, that’s… Continue

His talk included a MAJOR takeaway that external and internal recruiters alike would be advised to remember.

The cost of NOT FILLING the position, may be WAY MORE than the cost of using their internal or external recruiters.
