A few days ago I visited Belgatos Park in Los Gatos. Los Gatos literally means the cats. It is in this park where Mountain Lions, Deer, Bobcats, Boar, Hawks, Coyotes and a whole host of wildlife call home near the perennial Silicon Valley. It is interesting to return to nature, and view from a distance the downtown of the valley that has been at the forefront of so much change.

A start up recruitment firm has sizable number of clients and a decent recruitment team in place. It has managed the show well so far but wants to scale up the business to next level now. But being a start up it has limited resources. 

Now as a strategic move the company wants to decide between either going after new clients or hiring more recruiters to ensure that it does not miss out on commitments and delivery excellence.

One worry is if it hires more…

As we fight the uphill battle against Recruitment’s dire reputation by striving to provide the best service we can and be as ethical and incisive as possible, we do occasionally come across an instruction from the client side that never fails to shock me. I’m sure it’s something that many Recruiters will recognise, a little throwaway comment that is couched in a joke and a twinkling smile but is actually as concrete an instruction as any of the immovables on the brief.

After a good start at the beginning of this year the job market is slowing now leaving little hope for more activity during the summer.

For as long as I have been in this business, the business of sourcing, screening and selecting great talent for client companies, I have felt that more could be done. I felt that those of us who do this type of work were only being allowed to do just so much in bringing great talent to an organization, and that once the offer to a candidate had been made and accepted, our role ended. This is especially true for 3^rd party recruiters, but is also true for those of us who provide a…
