If your candidates are some of the recently unemployed masses within the majority of states operating under an “at-will employment “ clause, which is almost all US workers not employed under a contract, chances are that some of them may have a little difficulty in explaining that pesky “reason for leaving” question to potential future…

Is Your Employment Brand Creating Enough Buzz?



Unless you’re living in a cave or have been buried under a pile of unsolicited résumés, you, like the rest of the world, have caught World Cup Fever. This is especially true for those in our country since Team USA has finally made it to the round of 16. Even for those diehard non-soccer fans, it is hard not get caught up in the excitement of this world spectacle. But you certainly wish that those… Continue

Building Your Own A-Team

This weekend, I had the opportunity to see the new A-Team movie as part of my birthday celebration. Throughout the movie, I took several mental notes that have inspired me to write this post. Believe it or not, it was my wife’s idea to see the movie! Needless to say, she has excellent taste. To quote Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Two Tribes – The Battle for Respect (or handbags at dawn!)

I think we will all agree that Inhouse Recruiters (IHR) and suppliers don’t always see eye-to-eye, in the majority of cases I would say that we might as well be in a different markets, who’d have thought we are all in recruitment!

I want to give candidates specific feedback... but...

Feedback is such a difficult task.

I would love to give exact feedback to every candidate, but unfortunately it seems like anything somewhat specific opens you up to discrimination lawsuits or candidate backlash. I try to be as specific as possible but ultimately it's my job to protect the company.

What’s the Future Hold for Direct-Hire Placements?

There's no doubt that the most recent recession (or current one, depending upon who you talk to) was much different than previous ones.
