The moving target that is the job Description!!

We have all seen it and dealt with it. A job Description (JD) not written with us being involved, that says almost nothing, and when you speak to the hiring manager (HM) and ask question they give you almost nothing.

Part of the problem is the HMs…

This week, I finish my series with discussion on Facebook in recruiting. I found that there are some pretty strong opinions as to if Facebook should or should not be used in recruiting.  What do you…

Ok my specialty in legal is Intellectual Property.  When one of my former candidates called me she said my brother could really use your help, I thought yea if he is as good as his sister slam dunk.
