The Hidden Beauties Of Dysfunctional Recruiting Teams!

The beauty of a dysfunctional team at the Office is . . .

That despite it all, things still find a way to get done. I mean, how many times have we seen a team of buddies that all loved one another, and spent nearly every minute of every day together . . . but couldn't collaborate together to change a lightbulb if they needed to?

Sure, there's probably a happy medium (well, not probably), but before we lower the gavel on dysfunctional teams, let's keep one thing in… Continue

Meet Ryan Leary, Philadelphia's Ambassador of The Virtual Handshake

Meet my friend, Ryan Leary - a firm believer that by reaching out to as many people as an “Open Networker” through social networking, "we are truly opening the door for some great opportunities both professional and personal." Ryan lives and breathes networking and if evangelism for it doesn't have a familiar ambassador on its behalf in Philadelphia, let's give him his own parking space and diplomatic sash I we need to make it official.

He is a Corporate Recruiter at… Continue

I make that statement because Hertz's new commercial is indicative of a marketing strategy that is not only well thought out, but also extremely well integrated. To take a page from a Marketing Guru I learn from each day, Seth… Continue

Does This Picture Give Texas a Bad Name?

...for the Homeowner who has everything.

Ok, I know this picture has nothing to do with Recruiting...oh well.

We've had our house on the market for a while - trying to move north of Dallas to a smaller community. Just signed a contract to sell our home (yesterday), so the pressure is on to find a new house.

Our Realtor sent us a link to a home on 4 acres that overlooks a pond - it's pretty cool. However...

We cracked up when we saw this picture of one… Continue

Sourcing 1.0 - It All Started With A Quest For Names . . . Long, Long Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away . . .
