I recently gave a presentation on this topic as I often feel that much of the HR vernacular is always around employee engagement and should be much more about employee happiness. Now my written word is about as eloquent as a line backer ice skating but try to bear with me!
I asked the audience the question “Can you be…

The source for many of my posts over the years has been the local churches announcing their upcoming sermons for the Sunday services and this one is no different. Originally I thought about this in a different context but the events of the past week have changed my focus.
We are involved in an ever-changing world and these changes require that we change our focus and approaches in order to successfully deal with those changes. They require us to change our corporate culture. Newton’s…

You’ll never hit the mark 100% of the time, but it is important to always look back and reflect on your hiring successes and failures to identify their common traits. We have been in the recruiting and hiring business for a while now and have identified some common hiring mistakes that are totally avoidable.

YES! A big, fat “yes” is the answer. Retention is such a powerful metric in business because of the ridiculously high cost of turnover. Retained employees represent a great return on the many investments that employers make on their workforce, and onboarding is a solid, yet often overlooked aspect of those investments.
According to a …

LinkedIn is always good for a survey on the latest recruiting and HR trends! Recently they polled 800 professionals and over 13,000 talent acquisition leaders to gauge the importance of mobile recruiting today.

Like almost every agency recruiter out there, I've been using LinkedIn for a while now. It has become an integral part of our business model here at Sun Recruiting and while we don't rely on it - it is certainly one of our more important tools. Back when I started using LinkedIn several years ago, I put some thought into how I wanted to use it. I understood how it worked and…

Other than satisfactory salaries, employers also need to offer good employee benefits in order to attract and retain the best talent.
One of the types of employee benefits that are regarded as important by job seekers and employees is health insurance.
As the cost of health care continues to rise, it is becoming increasingly necessary for employees to…

In 1914, Henry Ford did something dramatic, to the point it made headlines in newspapers across the country – he increased pay from $2.25 a day to $5 a day for his factory workers.
Not that the $5 was guaranteed. Workers got $2.25 daily and the other…

I’ve recently had a call from a good client of mine, asking if I was able to run a new training programme for them.
Sounds great doesn’t it? Well, ordinarily yes, but in this instance I wasn’t sure.
Like most people I love being asked to do more work for my clients, but the problem was that what they were asking for wasn’t really my main area of expertise.
It was something that I touch on in other courses…

Once, in a world far, far away (i.e., the 1990s), Monster beat its chest and claimed to be the biggest and best source for online jobs in the world, bar none.
Then, last week, Monster - diminished, no longer for sale, and facing significant declines in revenue - once again beat its chest and said that it would…

PROBLEM:
Most major recruiting conventions aren't for regular, workaday recruiters like US.
I've been to a few major recruiting conventions (and was even a panelist at one), but not many. Most of the people there seemed to be mainly senior corporate, staffing and recruiting professionals, aka, THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE AND OVERSEE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE IN RECRUITING AND HAVE TO SOLVE. Their companies paid thousands of dollars (if you include travel and accommodations) to be…

This is the hardest blog post I’ve ever written. Some will say it’s too personal, and they’re probably right. My regular readers know this blog is a diary of sorts, I generally write about whatever is top of mind and damn the consequences. Others may feel sorry for me. A few might even understand, having gone…

There were two candidates remaining. One of them was represented by A Sales Guy Recruiting. We felt good about our chances; our guy was strong and articulate. He understood the space, he faired well in the phone interviews and he was confident. He was a good fit on paper AND in person – or so we thought.
The two candidates were flown in on the same day. They were to…

As Barry Flack opens with in his excellent blog The slow death of employee engagement, there are few people who think that having an engaged and motivated workforce isn’t a good thing.
The problem is, as Barry points out, the concept is very new and with the exception of a few…

You may have all the right degrees that can get you through a job interview, if the interviewer decides to stay to the questions that relate job and how well you think you can perform it. But it has been noticed that employers like Apple, Yahoo! and more try to judge a person through some weird and tricky questions. Here are some examples of top 10 weird interview questions…
