The Ten Commandments of Recruiting

Recruiting is like sales and marketing rolled into one. If a company has a great brand, a great job, and a great hiring manager, not too much marketing or recruiting is required. But if your company lacks one or more of these factors — or if you're targeting hard-to-fill positions — then stronger recruiters are required.

Use the following "10 Commandments of Recruiting" as a guide to assess yourself, your team, or any new recruiter about to be hired when these strong recruiting… Continue

My Pet Peeve

I hesitated posting this because I'm complaining and I don't like to complain (at least not publically). But I know I'm not the only recruiter out there with this problem so I thought it might not be a bad idea to start a dialogue.

Ok, so what's this pet peeve of mine? Resumes. More specifically, poorly constructed resumes. Even more specifically, poorly constructed resumes being used by third party agencies primarily marketing sponsored candidates. Let me quickly state that this… Continue
