Who is great?

Who is great?



He is not great, who is proud of his wealth

But he is great who says it is God’s wealth.



He is not great who says “ I am the owner”

But he is great who says, “ I am a trustee”



He is not great who is proud of his knowledge

He isnot great who is proud of his strength

But he is great who protects weak, innocent.



God is the doer and you are his…

Company job sites: Good, Bad or indifferent

Most HR pro’s will tell you that the best way for you to get into their company is to apply via the company website. While this is the best way to be entered into their bottom-less pit of a database it is not (contrary to popular belief) the best way to get a job with that company. Just ask this candidate.



Understand that I have nothing against HR/Recruiters, in fact, some companies have… Continue

Advice from my Dad for Father's Day

Author: Harvey Mackay

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Think back to the last time you shopped for a car or house.

Did you go into the process intent on selecting the lowest priced?

Of course not.

So why enlist a service provider solely because they were the lowest priced?

Tempting as it is to take a bargain, base your decision on a more enduring factor: performance.

Ask yourself, what is performance worth?

The decision to use a service provider goes way beyond saving money; it is to make money.

Make sure your… Continue

The 12 Rules of ART – Part 1 of 12

"If you argue for your limitations..... you get to keep them!" - (From Jonathan Livingston Seagull)



A few years ago a short book came out that swept the corporate world as a whole. In fact, my corporate office sent me a box of them for my staff and even some to distribute to my clients (which was a nice thought, but ultimately most of them already had it from THEIR corporate office). The book was called “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson, and… Continue

About the 12 Rules of ART

"The 12 Rules of ART" are a series of action guidelines I have adopted over the last 15 years in this business, which together form a functional roadmap of my core business philosophies, strategies and practices. Some of them I coined and some of them I stole, but all of them are good.



I have decided to share them with all of you here at recruitingblogs as a way to thank and repay you for all the great motivation and techniques I find here every day. I hope you find some value in… Continue

He was a recruiter for five years and now he advises scientists (who appear to be total losers) in their careers. If you want to call in or simply listen you will find the info at.recruitingshow.com

Glassdoor.com vs. Salarytrack.co.uk

Looking through Glassdoor Darkly



Businessweek looks at a new startup, Glassdoor.com, here. The company has an impressive pedigree and a nice looking site, but we think these types of “review your teacher/company/cafe” products provide anecdotal but not really actionable data. Fine for selecting a muffin but less useful for negotiating a salary.



The use of self-reported survey data is an established protocol for putting together… Continue
