What New Leaders Can Learn from Late-Night TV

Conan O’Brien’s move to The Tonight Show is one of the hottest topics of conversation these days. Of course, anytime some mainstay changes, people are bound to feel uncomfortable or even downright hostile. But an author at HRM Today recently posted an article on what new managers and team leaders can potentially learn from his high-profile switch. Though Conan is a bona fide… Continue

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

Ok, I will behave myself this month and try not to cause a ruckus. I did learn a new word last blog thanks to Gerry Crispin..putanesca. I think it is some kind of sauce, but also has something to do with women of ill repute. Hmmmm?

So here I go with this month’s blog. Not only am I a recruiter but I am a mom, and I was remembering long ago, when my daughter was little. She had the ears of a well trained hunting dog when it came to the sounds of the neighborhood ice cream truck. She… Continue

Save your Job! Show your Boss your worth, demo this right here…

It’s summer time already in the South, 90 degrees outside and humid as Vietnam 1969. The layoffs are still hot too. Not a whole lot of jobs reqs either.

Your Boss is pacing the office like a half crazed Nazi commander waiting for orders to drop kick more recruiters out. Everyone is doing their best to look busy, marching down the halls as they peck away on their blackberry and even giving Social Media Recruiting presentations.

Even a… Continue

I’m tired of playing dumb!

There has been a lot of talk and stories written lately about job seekers dumbing down their resumes. For the un-initiated, this is when you leave information (accomplishments and successes) off of your resume because you want to give the impression that you are not as experienced as you actually are. In my mind there are at least three distinct types of job seekers. You are either employed (congratulations), unemployed (help is on the way), or underemployed (probably looking). I think it is… Continue

SCREAM!!! Your "FREE Guide/Tips/ROI" Working with Headhunter/Recruiter on Job/Employment Search

Hello and good day!

From time to time a candidate will ask me qualifying questions (Clients ALWAYS do!) upfront about our client base, how long I have been in the business, etc.

I LOVE it when they do because it provides a platform for me provide "social proof" of my accomplishments, furthermore separates what I do, and have done (Track record), compared to my competition. (Well over 200 hires as 3rd party recruiter)

So... I want to share some qualifying… Continue

Is Anyone Else Making $100 Daily From NING

I'm sure quite a few of you are taking advantage of the easy money to be made with Ning. If I didn't have so many sites to maintain I think It is very possible to make $1,000 a day on Ning. I've tried Twitter for a good while now but nothing compares to the power of Ning (especially when your business is on autopilot!). How much are you guys making with your Ning Blogs?

SEO for recruitment and "The Long Tail"

Here is a great interesting take on the “Long Tail” written by Dustin Woodard, guesting on Hitwise.

SEO for recruitment keywords is massively dependant on company size and how niche that company is.

For example, if your recruitment company hires advertising staff in London, I’d suggest that’s not very niche, so realistic goal setting in keyword analysis would be to look at what… Continue

Ma Bell Called, Your Hired (or Not)

In a recent Wall Street Journal article titled "The New Trouble on the Line", the writer provided keen details on how important phone interviews are to the process. I know many of our clients are conducting highly detailed and multiple phone interviews. This article brought back a flurry of memories and reminds us how important it is to prep people for the phone interview(s).

The extensive nature of the interview is not limited to full time employees. We also find more extensive… Continue

Professionals vs Entry Level

We have a large project using a Hospital application called Epic. We are going to bring in some very bright recent grads and will cross train them in the product (which is in very high demand). There is a real shortage of people with the specific EPIC experience. Our target audience is the students who can no longer get Wall Street positions. This should prove to be very fruitful (we hope).
