Sharing the Good News!

It is interesting with all the new technology that is out there, some things still stay the same - job fairs.



Yes, I know this is considered "old fashioned" and maybe even down right boring but you have to look at the niche industries to see something a little different, like mine for instance.



For those who don't know me or my industry, I work inside the Beltway ( Washington, DC ) and in the security cleared community. And while the rest of the world is finding candidates… Continue

New Times - Old Rules





With the abundance of resources available online to anyone today; and the service subscriptions that provide informal online information with a keystroke, how does a candidate approach the executive job market when they have bankruptcy, foreclosure and tax issues haunting them? I recognize the rules with FCRA but informal online checks can provide all of this information without running afoul of the FCRA. What…

Feeling swamped?

Having been one of the first four or five original members on RecruitingBlogs.com I decided, after an 18-month absence, to see what it would be like to be the 274477th member.

For some reason I am reminded of the stories Auntie would tell about arriving in Miami in 1947 and refusing to buy land because it was swamp.

Like South Beach, one wonders if one is beautiful enough to be seen out in public or if it is even worth fighting the crowds for.

What say you?

This post is for one simple purpose only…to feed a need that is a part of every human soul. That need is acknowledgement.



So, here are my acknowledgments for you and for the choice you made to be in this…

What to do when you are caught up in the Selection Spiral











One of the great mysteries in Recruiting is finding a great candidate for the position and then the hiring manager rejects them based on ambiguous reasons. They were perfect, as if the resume and the job description were separated at birth. They had drive, were personable and had all the “right stuff” you thought the position required. But for some unknown reason, you can’t get the hiring manager to budge on this.… Continue

Making a Fresh Offer to a Prior Candidate – Goldmine or Landmine?

If you’re in HR or a recruiter, you’ve had offers declined. What I find absolutely enchanting about such a miserable outcome is the underlying qualities that sneak out during this downhill process. AND, what if the candidate who declined is really the best candidate for the job?!?



Sometimes the most impressive candidates can suddenly get nasty during offer negotiation. They can become arrogant and demanding in their communications, suddenly ask for $20K more than they’d…

How to Get a Counteroffer

OK. So you’ve decided you’re underpaid. A few of your team mates are making considerably more than you.

You know you’re as good (if not better) than them, so what gives?

You really do like your job. The company Christmas party is off the hook! The drive is less than 5 minutes and your best buddies work there too…….but you keep seeing jobs all over the internet paying more than what you're making and it's starting to weigh on your…

International Recruitment: Why Our Language is Letting Us Down

How many British people do you think are living overseas?

The answer is 5.5 million. And if you include those who regularly spend part of the year living abroad, we’re closing in on 6 million.

And the Institute for Public Policy Research, which supplied the statistics, is forecasting the number to steadily increase by the year.

So that’s a remarkable one in 10 of us Brits. I'm not sure the American figure, but sure it's…

Beyond Social Recruiting: How SM & SEO Change Agencies’ Hunt for New Business

For most of our industry’s history, recruiters reached new business contacts using paper: yellow page ads to touch prospective clients and job classifieds to connect with potential candidates. But then the Internet revolution shifted most paper-based communications online. Job boards provided a better way to find jobs and email made client communication easier. As candidates and clients adopted these new things, recruiters switched as well.



Now, a second wave of the Internet revolution… Continue
