1. Find the passive jobs!
Often times recruiting firms and hiring companies will not go straight to the job board route due to time constraints and costs. They will not only source candidates internally but will make a quick call to a recruiter to see who is actively searching right now, or who is “keeping and eye out” for the right job.
2. Break into a company that you have been targeting
A professional recruiter will have contacts with the top employers as well as those…

On this blog, we talk a lot about building your Talent Network and we go over all the ways that you can start building it today. But the question that comes up most when we're talking to recruiting professionals is how do you leverage your Talent Network once you've built it?
Your Talent Network is a group of recruiting contacts that you collect through both active and passive sourcing efforts and store in a database,…

The number one question HR professionals in Canada ask me everyday is "When will the market heat up for HR talent once again?"
The HR Talent market has been through a roller coaster of demand over the past few years. Many organizations cut back on resourcing within HR starting in 2008. Many areas of HR were hit very hard including Talent Development, Talent Management and Recruitment. Many senior HR roles were eliminated as part of a corporate wide cost cutting exercise. Many…

In the recent issue of Inc. there is a page that directs readers to Inc’s online presence. There are ten different topics listed with an appropriate link to each. In this month’s issue all of the content was related to celebrating National Small Business Month. And here I thought that every month was National Small Business Month.
One of the topics,…

You have read many politically correct publications on how to write an effective resume broken down by industry, level of experience, geographic culture, style and presentation. They are all correct, but are they meeting your needs? We are going to take a slightly different approach to resume…

Judi Wunderlich posted a good blog this week entitled, "Why Recruiters Get A Bad Rap (a cautionary tale)". There were a bunch of responses including one from me saying that recruiters should be held to a higher standard. I thought I would share a story which I originally posted on my blog, www.viewfrommadisonave.blogspot.com. I thought it would amuse all professional and above board recruiters so I am repeating it in its entirety…

When I attend recruiting conferences and Human Resource meetings nationwide, inevitably the conversation works its way to attracting the Holy Grail of recruitment – the Passive Candidate.
It is valuable to listen carefully to that person’s definition of whom the Passive Candidate is. Generally companies define the Passive Candidate as someone who is doing a job at a high level within another company; and is perfectly content to remain…

Jobseekers today grow weary of sending in online applications and never hearing a response. Sometimes they wonder if they’re a fit for an organization, but there’s little to help them understand, so they just apply…or not…and wait for a response.
Lockheed Martin is one of the rare employers who takes the initiative to regularly talk to prospective jobseekers about the company, the roles, and answer their questions, and does it through a posted Chat Schedule! So a jobseeker researching…

As a background checking service we see our fair share of physical and sexual violence that can be related to the home or domestic environment. But domestic violence is not necessarily contained within the home. Domestic violence may originate in the home, but it can affect the workplace.
Studies claim that one in four women are victims of domestic violence. Homicide is the second leading cause of death among women in the workforce. While women constitute the majority of…

Lots of job descriptions cite “Multitasking” as a desirable trait, and many of us pride ourselves on the ability to do this all day long. I got a tweet last week with a link to an article called
The Price, and Myth, of Multitasking and I thought about how I try to make meaningful phone calls while my e-mail is chirping on the computer, my G-chat is buzzing, my Droid is beeping…

Recruiting is a time intensive process and anyone that says otherwise obviously has not done the job. But even so, every recruiting initiative doesn’t have to be time intensive or hands on. There are a few initiatives where you can use tools and services that can save you time so you can spend it on more important initiatives that cannot be put on auto-pilot. There may be an upfront cost in time to set these initiatives and tools up, however, once you have them going they should provide a…

A good friend of mine was laid off of his job of 10 years and is searching for new employment. He has a complete LinkedIn profile with contact info and resume (thanks to me) and is on Monster and CareerBuilder.
He got a call last week from a local recruiter at a niche staffing firm. On the phone the recruiter told him he had a ‘couple’ of jobs for him, and they arranged to meet. My friend has an interim job so he had to arrange time off to meet this…

Not a single day passes by of late without hearing the dreaded words 'global talent pool', but what does that phrase actually mean in practice, if anything at all?
Consider a typical recruiting scenario. You're looking for a mid-career engineer for a specific location. There is no relocation package on offer so straight away it would be fair to assume that 99 times out of a hundred your likely candidate is going to come from a 30 or 40 mile radius of wherever the business is situated.…
