Emotions Run Wild When You Leave a Job!

Who hasn’t experienced a sense of relief after a downsizing, firing, or quitting a bad job? Often, this relief is mixed with a feeling of euphoria; a happiness that has no basis in reality. This euphoria can last for several weeks. How long it lasts depends upon the personality of the… Continue

Who benefits from Google and Indeed?

I've had a question running around in my head for well over a year now... What job sites use Google as their core traffic provider? So I thought I'd take some time perform some research, using Hitwise, and then it prompted yet another question... What job sites use Indeed as their core traffic provider?

So I took some time and gathered the following one week worth of data from Hitwise (week ending 3/8/2008) and thought I'd… Continue

Im sure many people think of working for themselves but in the back of their minds enjoy… Continue

How I won the SourceCon Sourcing Challenge by Joshua Kahn

Purple Squirrels and Paranoia: the first SourceCon challenge of 2008 and how I won it.

What a trip, I won the SourceCon challenge. The reasons I did are a mix of luck, timing, help from friends, inspiration, well placed breaks, spying on what the other contestants were doing, some slight misdirection, and some skill. I think with the right mix of those components anyone of the other people participating could've won. The differences between us all were slight.

I… Continue

A Poor Man's ATS

This posting is probably applicable only to contract recruiters, and people who are doing contingent placements on the side. About 6 months ago, I was trying to figure out away, to store all of the resumes I found, for future use. I did not like the idea, of keeping them on my computer, because of the hassles of transferring so many resumes to my computer, and then later using a client’s computer, and not having access to all of those resumes I saved. It also seemed redundant to always be… Continue

Building a recruitment strategy in a social world

I began writing a post on social networking the end of January – can’t believe it is already March! Due to a variety of events I’m just getting back to writing and what I quickly discovered is that this is a very different post than I would have shared in January and I think it has a lot to do with the continued advancements of social media. So, its quite appropriate to see that the subject has influenced the writer and I hope that I can share this learning experience with you as… Continue

Thought of the day - Is an intervention necessary?

I used to have a regional manager (when I used to work for that big, international, public monstrosity of a recruiting firm) that would make my recruiters cry every time he visited my office. We fought constantly over his approach to "managing" MY team. Although I think direct feedback is necessary as you develop people, it can be done in a way that doesn't leave your team member feeling like they were just hit by a mack truck.

I tend to be very protective of my peeps. I go to bat… Continue
