Hiring the Newton Way: A Framework for Interviewing Knowledge Workers

To say that I think a lot about recruiting and hiring is an understatement. Before I co-founded a technology company that builds recruiting software, my business partner and I, started and ran a couple of recruiting firms, an RPO and over the years managed dozens of corporate recruiting departments. In addition to helping countless other organizations hire, we’ve had to build quite a few of our own teams over the… Continue

What's on the College Career Fair Menu? Make Your Company Stand Out

For a college student, entering a College Career Fair venue is like walking into a cafeteria. Both facilities are crammed with decisions, persuasion and the uncertainty of what to choose or where to turn next. Sure, students have to do some impressing, but at College Career Fairs, companies are the ones who possess the task of attracting top talent.

NEW IDEA

The same old job boards don't work (including spiders). We need to have a website with a new methodology to be able to connect candidates with job openings with more selectivity. Instead of hiring managers receiving hundreds of resumes (most don't qualify) - they would receive ONLY the qualified ones (a much smaller quantity).
