What is your Recruitment Story?

Stories make the world go round.  It’s stories that bring us back to your favorite TV show, stories that make you buy a product and ultimately stories that make a candidate want to work for a company.  The key with stories is making sure to craft and lead with your best ones (preferably as early as possible in your recruiting process.)

 

That is not to say you can’t have multiple stories that provide value to your recruiting organization.  It’s just that you need to prioritize…

17 Great Answers To 17 Job Interview Questions You Don't Want To Be Asked

 

Great post from the business Insider

 

The question I have: Who comes up with these type of questions?  Is there a standard psychological/intelligence profiling procedure where these types of questions are created from or does the enterprise hire an external consultant to create a reaction based query in order to satisfy C-suite that HR is profoundly interested in the intelligence capability of the candidate?

Least Favorite Interview Questions

There was a question posted in the LinkedIn Q&A Staffing and Recruiting section that I’ve been wanting to comment on.  The question is:  What is your least favorite interview question to ask or answer?  The question gathered 54 answers, from both recruiters and job seekers.  I’m fascinated by the answers.  I find that both sides, recruiters and job seekers, are…

A roast without the trimmings isn't a proper roast...

 

When I first stepped (or more accurately fell) into recruitment 10 years ago, the agency that employed me said they were impressed with my sales background and that is why they hired me. I thought that was odd because recruitment is all about interviewing, matching candidates to clients and helping people find a job...isn't it?

 

 I went on their induction course and it was full of people similar to me with no recruitment experience that had worked in telesales or had…

A Formal Hello & Thank You

Hello RBC –

I wanted to just take a quick moment to offer a hello to everyone.

Two killer questions great recruiters ask every time



If you have plans to be a great recruiter, please, remember this and never forget it.

Filling a job does not start with finding good candidates for a particular job order. It starts with the quality with which you take the job order in the first place. It does not matter if you take the brief face to face (and you should, if at all possible), or over the phone. Filling the order starts with how well you qualify that order.

You have to make sure, at the very…

Its Cheesy - But it home for me today!

Are you motivated to achieve what you really want in life? And how hard do you push yourself to get things done?



Wanting to do something and motivating yourself to actually do it are two different things. So, what's the difference between those who never reach their goals, year after year, and those who achieve one goal after another? Often, it's their… Continue

"For what it's worth"

 

Initial thoughts from a Corporate Recruiter on Monster’s new product announcement:

 

“There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear”

My Tweet stream was inundated on Saturday evening by an onslaught of messages heralding the new job seeker application developed by Monster on the Facebook platform, “BeKnown”. Because I follow several Monster Marketing folks, this wasn’t much of a surprise. The surprise was the “canned” messages being…

#BeKnown: #Monster Creates Potential Competition to #LinkedIn

 

BeKnown is good news! There are lots of posts out there with facts and screen shots, so I skip that.



Here some initial thoughts.



1) It’s fantastic to see potential competition to LinkedIn; Moster has been one of the few big players capable of that. LinkedIn’s quality has been hurt by not having…

How to impress at your next job interview

One of the MOST stressful parts of looking for a new job is the interview!

 

If you have been successful in getting shortlisted to the interview stage, you need to take just as much care (if not more!) of how you handle the interview. The interview is not just about the actual appointment itself - your performance at the interview is what can make or break you!
The interview is your opportunity to shine! It is your chance to showcase your skills, abilities and your…
