Elusive Mid Level Candidates

It seems to me that finding mid level candidates is becoming increasingly more difficult, especially for technology searches. I can still find senior level people... but that elusive 2 - 3 year person with SQL Server 2005 development skills or that extremely customer service oriented help desk analyst are no longer out there and just not reproducing to meet the current demand. I've tried all the local watering holes to no avail... so now I'm going blogging. Any suggestions?

first post here...

I think this is one of many forums to keep connected. I also have to be more diligent on my "functional blog", www.formerscienceguy.com. I have been negligent over there.

I have found this year in the Canadian biotech recruiting world to be more indicative than ever to either grow my own company to include staff up here or form a larger "splits" or coalition of recruiters in the US biotech industry.

Obviously, my PhD in genetics is…

Harry " Give Me The Fordyce Letter" Joiner

Harry Joiner is an interesting guy. I talk to him at least once a week and he is a guy who understands how a blog can help his business. He is contacted regularly by people who want his opinion or want his services because they found him via his blog via goole.



He submitted a very interesting lesson he has learned as a recruiter. Here is a little from it:



"For example, imagine that I submit six highly-qualified candidates… Continue

just giving vaJoe.com some "link love"

I ran across a website that is posting jobs for free. I am not affiliated with them. I am just wanting to help them spread the word. They are posting our jobs and have made us a premier employer; all free. They are doing so for the next six months and then who knows. As a sourcer, I think we have to try all means and this is certainly worth a try. So far we are already seen some traffic.

In case anyone is interested the website is www.vajoe.com.…

Breaking the Job Ad code

Years ago, job advertisements were ways easier to decipher – their content was much simpler and it wasn’t hard to get the idea of what the suitable applicant should look like. Now, job seekers are challenged with a real jungle of different ad formats, content and sometimes incomprehensible means of expression. If you learn how to find your way through this…

Three Steps and a Breather

I don't think I've taken a four day break from blogging since I started this gig in '04.



However, being on the road last week put me three steps behind, so I've enjoyed taking a breather to catch up.



So, I got my three steps* back and I'm ready to roll.



More T-Mo jobs comin' next week - stay tuned.
