In recent times, technological demands continue to impact the healthcare industry with rapidly changing mobile technology, health applications and requirements to record all electronic data. The industry is shifting towards a…

When you ask most recruiters what is a priority for them most will tell you finding quality hires. This is a main concern for many recruiters, but another area that should be at the top of their list is employee retention. Depending upon the structure of an organization employee retention might not be a direct responsibility of those in charge of staffing, but many times…

Why on-board a recruiter when moving jobs?

You want a new job; something more challenging, a step up the career ladder, an industry switch. You upload your CV to some well-known job boards, create your profile and start your search. Anyone who has job hunted in recent years will be familiar with…

Things are still quite busy in the job board and online recruiting industry - like it ever slows down! I'm sure LinkedIn welcomed Daylight Savings Time as a chance to turn the clock forward and get past the last few months. So let's see what's happened:…

Talent sourcing is crucial to growing your talent pool. It’s very common to source like-minded people, and these can turn into ideal candidates. They are likely to be a cultural fit and are willing to stick with your company through thick and thin. The earlier you start keeping an eye out for them, the better.…

In last week’s post we asked the question, who really is your process subject matter expert?  In this week’s post I want to take the discussion to another view of the question. If we have assumed who the process SME is within your organization, then what are their obligations to the organization?

Deming in his 14 points of quality stated that one of the…

1. "How much is the pay and what are the benefits?"

These are the worst questions to ask, by far, yet most will ask it anyway. The interviewer wants to believe that the job offered is more important than the pay and the benefits. If these questions are asked, it will be taken to mean that, all the applicant cares about is the money and benefits. These subjects…

Globally in 2015, companies were sure to spend roughly $514 billion on marketing campaigns to increase the sales of products and services. The competition for new customers is at an all time high. Companies are spending record amounts on winning business, but what about the business they already have? During a recent conference …

I love technology. I enjoy nothing more than trying out the latest app or discovering something new I can do with my programs that will positively impact my work (and make me look like the genius who came up with the original idea).

Having said all this, my experience of working in the recruitment market has taught me that not one piece of technology can…

Big man on campus: Effective College recruiting

As of 2015, millennials represent the largest segment of the U.S. workforce. While most millennials are either just embarking on their careers or employed in entry-level roles, the generation represents the business leaders of…

The future of a company depends on the future of its people. When new talent enters the workforce they are by definition inexperienced. The few top percent of university students will stand out - the ones who have already started a business, earned a research grant, or completed some other remarkable work - but the majority of university students will not have the track record to…

Creating a start-up company is a risky business and one only taken on by confident entrepreneurs who truly believe in their product. So what happens when it’s time to begin selling the product, but the company founder has no idea how to sell? The answer: do not hire a sales representative.

Hiring is a Bet You Don’t Want to Take

This seems to be backwards…

For many, talking to recruiters is only one step better than picking the phone up to a PPI call! The general assumption of most people is that recruiters don’t understand their market and have very little interest in anything other than a quick buck. In the majority of cases this assertion is absolutely right.

As a result they disengage in the conversation and treat…

As I have stated earlier I am currently in the process of reading Michael Rother’s Toyota Kata. In the book the point is made as to who should be the one who is considered the SME…

Raised during the financial fallout of 2008 and knowing only a world with the internet, will the generation to follow the Millennials change the way we recruit?

Before the detractors grab their pitchforks over yet another discussion of generational differences, let’s agree that it's not about age brackets but how the landscape of work itself…
