I recently read Maureen Scharib’s blog post and it really got me thinking. Maybe it was the timing; because prior to reading it, I was looking at my own call-sheet (calls made/calls returned/people reached) wondering what to do to improve the results. So, I was thinking a lot, about the telephone!
So here we…

Ok. I'll admit it. I too got pulled into believing that as a newly independent IT Recruiter I could jump-start my desk with Bounty Jobs by getting right into the recruiting as the job orders are already there, (due to non-compete agreements, I had no JO's initially.) Also there are big companies involved and the playing field is somewhat leveled with big firms. Their model clearly has potential.

Yep. Just had to say that. It pains me greatly. But what else can we do?
I'm sure many of you are (hopefully) off-the-hook BUSY! I am absolutely thankful to be in the position I find myself in.
But can we - more importantly - should we take on every new search that comes our way if we're too busy? I've decided it's better to let a potential client know we're simply not in a position to entertain a new search with them. I've done this twice now. This…

Hello and good day!
I thought it woud be a great idea to share a list of remarkable recruiters/staffing thought leaders, I know personally, or "follow" intentionally, to gain inspiration, which has supported the Inbound Recruiter vision, (Get Found, Convert, Analyze.) Inbound Recruiter could not have been formed without each of these industry leaders "original thoughts" (innovation) and accomplishments in our field. (Order unimportant, They ALL…

I work for a recruiting corporation in Northern VA. I focus on accounting and finance and place professionals on temporary and temp to hire positions. There are a lot of factors that are in play with our market. Yes, we are one of the best markets in America. However, that also means that we have some of the toughest competition because everyone that is anyone is here. To top it off, many of the larger users of temp are moving their lower level operations out of town because labor is…

Information exchange is flowing at lightning speed and we are all expected to keep up.
I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the need to shut the hell up (after I finish this) reassess and declutter.
This time of the year calls for a good spring cleaning in my home and in my head. It feels natural to reflect, re-examine and adjust focus.
My fear is that I am so used to having so many distractions, will panic set in when I don’t allow…

A while ago, I mentioned to you about how I have a daughter who studies philosophy and literature in college. We’ve discussed multiple different ways her world of arts and my world of business coincide and have even produced a blog from one of those very discussions. This time we have a series of blogs set up for you, this being the first. This day is a day we take some advice from the greatest playwright of our time and apply it to the business world, because what Shakespeare taught us…

Demand is outpacing supply for the following ten titles in the cities listed. As a result, prospects in these areas are more likely to be open to using your services especially if you provide data, such as this information, on market demand and the impact this will have on their ability to hire quality talent.
Accountants and Auditors in Chicago-Joliet-Naperville (146% normal demand)
Computer Specialists in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington (163% normal…

Why do job seekers go to job boards? Ahem – to find a job.
I might add that’s why they network, Tweet, post profiles on LinkedIn, and troll through company career sites. They just want a job. Right?
Well, no. Not exactly. They want a lot more than a ‘job’. They in fact have an entire laundry list of desires:

Her name is Holly. In all my years of recruiting she has been one of the (very) few who is somehow able to come up with a great candidate for any position – anywhere – any time. She’s been a partner for quite a while – and on our team full time since the beginning of last year.
I wanted to just take a minute and give her the recognition she deserves. Here is a quick rundown of what she’s been able to accomplish in just the past month or so. Note: This is by no means her…

I believe in Human Resources and corporate recruiters. They fill a necessary function at most companies. They insure that there are no duplicate submissions of résumés, they coordinate meetings, they screen to insure that candidates meet the standards of the job and the company. However, with respect, they should allow outside recruiters to deal directly with hiring managers when it comes to job specifications and follow up on interviews. It would speed up the…

I build sites in order to sell them.
Today I am putting up ALL 32 niche sites I have started in recent years as one giant niche job board network. Combined these sites have over 20,000 uniques per month generating more than 50,000 monthly page views (and growing). They generate approximately $1,000 per month between postings, backfill revenue and Adsense. All are hosted on Jobamatic. Two of the…

I believe the jury is still out on the "is social media a good thing or a bad thing for corporate recruiting" question. Everywhere I turn, I see recruiting departments dipping toes, jumping in or even diving into social media.
But after reading an article on Mashable recently I think there may be an unintended consequence of this rather awkward entry.
Enter my new favorite word:…

CBS News did a study and found that ninety percent of the nursing homes in the nation hired employees with criminal convictions. According to CBS News, when the government ran background checks on employees in some 260 nursing homes, 92 percent of them had criminal records. Pretty remarkable.
This is not some curious group of do-gooders reporting that much of the healthcare industry is populated by convicted…

Earlier today I was delivering a Boolean Training session for our new members in the sourcing team. My aim was to simplify the Boolean concept for sourcing. Often it is mistaken that “Boolean” is very scientific and relatively tough which is why people tend to ignore. Finally – I found the connection!!! Very simple and life-like (!)…
I took an example of life and how the sourcing of candidates is very similar to our life. In life, our choices are the keywords and we either…

I got laid off in December. It's a pretty common refrain these days. I'd been the Manager of Recruiting for a Federal Systems Integrator for three and half years and in the space of a brief meeting that tenure was brought to a close. The company had worked through some challenges during my time there, but we had begun to win new business and add exceptional talent. I was proud of the work I had done and was completely committed to the ongoing success of the firm. I did not see it coming. As…
