I know we have all been there before- faced with difficult positions and lack of qualified candidates. I'm desperately looking for inspiration. I work in the auto industry- to some degree. We are a niche product that sells new and used wheelchair accessible vehicles-- 70 locations across the country that are essentially set up like mini dealerships, plus two corporate offices, and a BDC. I hire Auto Techs, Service Managers, Auto Salespeople, GM's, etc.- you get the gist...

Office life can be a thing of great extremes, with every triumphant, team-uniting high counter-balanced by days when the team fails to click and every email carries bad news. But for most offices, most of the time, the general atmosphere is one of habit, routine, and bittersweet predictability.

You know who’s going to arrive first in the morning, who’s going to be late, and who’s going to pick up the workload from the latter; you’re subconsciously aware of where the cookie crumbs…

Your best employee.  Would you miss them if they were gone?

The answer should be yes and if it is you should take good care of them.  If the answer is no, you’ve got a lot of recruiting to do.  If they are your best and you wouldn’t miss them, then you probably wouldn’t miss any of the others either.

If you are in good shape, you would probably miss a good number of them if they were gone.  The ones that you wouldn’t miss are your top candidates for…

When you are hiring for a certain position at your company, you want the best possible candidates for the job. Often, it is difficult to find people who are qualified to work in certain positions, but even still, it can be difficult to find candidates who even know about your job opening. Many companies are taking the initiative and are…

For the first time in 7 years the economy lost jobs.  That was a really long streak due primarily to the fact that a ton of jobs were wiped out in the downturn and we were working our way back.

The good news is that the stock market took the report in stride and reacted positively.  That’s not just a silver lining, it’s very good news.  The positive reaction to the economy losing jobs shows that we are settling in.  The market looks at this as normal ebb and flow and a good sign for…

The catering industry continues to grow year on year, with new trends and restaurant designs influencing how the industry approaches food, and customer’s attitudes towards restaurants and the food that they eat. We have seen the rise of pop-up food venues and street food, whilst the trusty traditional restaurants still open their doors day after day, filling the demand for social dining.

The industry is in a great place, with 75% of respondents last year claiming their business has…

People have different reasons for choosing counseling as a career option. For some, it can be the good experience of counseling that they had while facing a difficult situation in their lives that made them willing to help others, or it can be a prior experience of…

There are some out there who think that recruiting is all about sorting through the incredible number of resumes, submissions, and contacts available.

Sorting is a minor first step.  The real key is attention.  Everybody is reachable in some way, but they aren’t all necessarily interested in engaging with you.  You have to sort to find those with qualifications that may work, but you must gain attention to engage and have a potential candidate.  Attention is the hard part and that is…

What is passion? No, there is no need to search for a definition. I guess you know the meaning and importance of passion in your life. The word itself is efficacious enough to make you feel how precious your happiness in life is.

It's your fallacy that having a well-paid job is a key to happiness. Aphra Behn has wonderfully shown the picture of the society by saying “Money Speaks Sense In A Language All Nations Understand.” Here she has tried to tell that money is the only thing…

Times change and the old way doesn’t work any more, except when it does.  Every industry benefits from modern advances, new tools, more efficient work, more focused work, etc…

A lot of the new is tweaking the old.  Pitchers still pitch the way Sandy Koufax did.  They may be stronger, better conditioned, and have tweaked and advanced some pitches but the motion and most of what they do is the same.  You have to go really far back to see a significantly different basketball jump shot. …

Are you one of the 61% of CEO’s that doesn’t have a social media presence? Hard to believe that many CEO’s don’t understand the importance of a social media presence for their personal brand and credibility.
