Before we begin, I would like to thank all the readers who have followed me here over the last couple of years; and say that the best opinions are still to come. I am currently looking at a couple tools, when the analysis is complete; you will be the first to hear of it right in this very blog!
I would also like to thank Evan Carmicheal for the heads-up that I had been included in the October list “The Top 100 Social Media Leaders to Follow on Twitter”. I am humbled to be included again…

The recruiter of today is unrecognisable from even a few years ago. Taking a trip down memory lane, can you recognise any of these characters?
Recruiters have evolved with the times, but what does the future hold?…

Well, of course, that is not true. Plenty about France is special. Like the cheese. And the cafés. And the bread. And a delicious glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Or Duck Confit. Or the way a French woman can twist a scarf into the sexiest thing imaginable.
Yes, plenty of special things in France.
But not in recruitment!
My recruitment career has allowed me the tremendous privilege of running and owning recruitment businesses all over the world.…

Saturday night I was watching the ALCS. The Detroit Tigers were playing the New York Yankees. Coming into the playoffs, the Tigers were one of the hottest teams in baseball. Baseball had its first triple crown winner in 45 years with Miguel Cabrerra, and the team fought their way through an up and down season and won their…

Many times when talent acquisition leaders ask for assistance in coaching their recruiters, they say the awful “O” word—order taker.
They want help transitioning recruiters from order takers to business partners/trusted advisors, etc.…

Candidate and Client Satisfaction!!!- Well this is one of the most important issues for a recruiter/staffing professional. It is not just about filling positions. It is about having a good relationship with your client and ensuring you treat each candidate with respect. Remember it is a small…

How important is company culture to recruiters? I’m not talking about so called “discrimination masquerading as cultural fit”. If you’re looking to read up on that check out this post from back in April.
My question is simply this – should recruiters screen candidates for culture fit with our clients?
Like so many things in recruiting –…

Ever seen those training providers that promise to help you unlock the secrets to cold-calling?
Most of the time this “secret” turns out to be something inane like sounding really happy when you make the call or only doing it when the sun’s shining.
What seems to drive of most of the recruitment sales training I’ve ever seen is the fact that cold-calling is an omnipresent part of a recruiter’s life - and so they had better get good at it.
Frankly, I think that’s…

Sadly it’s true; there are arrogant, unpleasant, aggressive recruiters in this world (but not many!).
Anyway, the very worst amongst these, a smug, self-important, borderline sleaze-ball, was interviewing a young graduate, and as was his wont, he thought humiliating her would be a good way to go.
“So” he snorted, leaning back in his chair and sneering at the young woman opposite him “What makes you so…

Ryan and I made it out to Chicago with no problems other than my flight being an hour late. The weather is colder here compared to home but the city is bustling away. The Chicago marathon, Notre Dame playing Miami at Soldier Field, the Graph expo (large printing industry conference) and HR Tech are all going on at the same time. Fun!
Today is HR Evolution…

This morning it was widely reported that the "unemployment rate" dropped to 7.8% - and that most of the drop was "the fact that many people simply stopped looking for a job." That comment is very disrespectful to unemployed people who are working harder than ever to find a job.
The rate that is reported as the unemployment rate by the Bureau of Labor Statistics…

I have no doubt you can give candidates compelling messages about what makes your position exciting, good for their career, etc.
So why would I want you to ask your hiring managers why they think their position is a great opportunity? For these reasons:
It’s important for you to know how your hiring managers are “marketing/selling” their positions when they are talking to candidates. When you ask them this question, you may be appalled at how poorly they describe what's great…

The HR Technology conference is less than a week away and I’m extremely excited about being able to once again attend in Chicago this year (here are my takeaways from last year). As always, the conference remains one of the best ways to stay current with the important trends happening in the HR and recruitment technology space and see the cool new innovations that are on the…

I live in Austin, Texas that is arguably one of the best cities in the United States. Not only is Austin the Capital of Texas, it is widely known for its music, nightlife, restaurants, lakes, rolling hills, and the The University of Texas. Our family calls Austin home. Even though all of us all have traveled extensively, none of us would want to live…

In all the hoopla last week surrounding the Indeed.com acquisition, most pundits overlooked how bad it was for Monster and its job board brethren.
According to a source who wanted to remain anonymous, Recruit Co., Indeed’s buyer, had a deal with Monster on the table as well. Indeed’s pricetag was rumored to be $1.2 billion while Monster wanted $1.4 billion.
So, a measly $200…

Countless times recruiters tell me they need better and/or more ways to source candidates. This understandably seems to be the solution when:
