When colleagues are posting resumes

This is more of a question than a pure blog post. What do you all do (if anything) when you come across a resume, say on Career Builder, of someone who works for your company?

Any suggestions on where to look for resumes for attorneys?

I haven't had much luck looking on the job boards, linkedin, zoominfo etc for attorney's with a specific type of experience. Is there a job board out there specifically catering to the legal world?

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

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
