Improving your Onboarding process

Onboarding is the process of acclimating new employees to the work environment. Starting a new employee off on the right foot is absolutely crucial.

http://www.dayak.com/?affiliate_id=168

Here is a little more info on the company. I would say that the biggest way that they are different from Bounty Jobs is that they are an open marketplace where recruiters do not need to be invited to register to use their site where the opposite is true with Bounty Jobs. Also, they give recruiters the ability to post split jobs. Bounty Jobs does not have this feature. Last, Dayak does not market themselves to companies as a vendor… Continue

Stop the Insanity - by David Szary from his 3 O'Clock Coffee Break

If you are reading this (or reviewing any e-zines, blog sites, etc.), you are probably either:

What I mean by that is . . . do you actually:

Recruiting Tools- What do we use and How much do we really use it?

A good recruiter uses all available avenues to recruit, source and build networks. However, the working recruiter has to focus their efforts so that they have the most productive results with the least time investment.

Here is where I am wondering ---How much do we really use? We have all seen it in our networks, and our training. Web 2.0, Google it, job-boards, aggregators, Linked in, Blogging, Zoom Info.......

However, working side by side with some pretty successful… Continue
