The #tru carnival is continuing this week, with events in Johannesburg on the 9′th November and CapeTown on the 11′th. I’m really looking forward to this first venture in to Africa, and to what the local recruiters will have to say about the market. We have close to 150 booked for Jo’burg and 70 for Cape Town, so it is going to be a very busy and interesting 2 days, with mostly third-party and corporate recruiters attending.
Having spoken with a number of the track leaders today…

Amazing that most companies still look for talent the traditional way. In a world topsy-turvy with change, rampant new technology, social media, new competitive entrants and a global economy, companies are still hiring the old-fashioned way. Most companies are still embracing the status quo, slumbering thru the new talent management changes shaking this industry. If you're…

I often get asked by the slightly less experienced and slightly more nervous recruiters I meet (online or offline), how we can compete with corporate…

One of the advantages of working within the staffing world is that you get the ins and outs of the client side, as well as the job seeker side. Here at Dawson, we know what a client is looking for, what the job seeker expects and we get the make the perfect match. So, in so many words, we are “all knowing.” Not to give ourselves a pat on the back, but we are a wealth of knowledge and I have decided we should share some of it. The information I continuously plan on sharing could…

Like many of us, I stumbled into recruiting (I was a golf professional teaching some of these “headhunters”). Two years later I was sitting at a desk, staring at a phone, terrified I had made the biggest mistake of my life. I worked for a large, successful company with a few of “those guys” in the environment. You know the ones I’m talking about – the Bobby Big Wheels and the Johnny Shooters who knew it all.
Bobby and Johnny would walk around the office doing the wink and the…

Unbelievable! It’s incredible but these words are spoken or sent out each day by human resource professionals to any candidate bold enough to send them a resume or to inquire about employment. Wake up HR, what does Human Resources mean to you! If you're not looking after the talent management needs of your organization who is? Why do you exist?
Do you know…

Dear Hiring Manager
I was sorry to hear that John has left your business after only 2 months. However I am confused as to why you think this was my fault. My role was to provide you with a qualified shortlist of candidates based on the criteria you gave me. The thorough recruitment process I undertook meant that my shortlist was accurate and I was able to provide you with detailed feedback on each candidate. As well as the positives, I also advised you of any areas of concerns that I…

Per this week’s survey results from job boards, we’ve seen some changes over the past 12 months – not the least of which is increased optimism. Perhaps part of that is based on what HR and recruiting professionals are actually doing to find candidates. This installment of the …

How do you define greatness when it comes to finding a search partner for your company? Is it all about just finding the best candidate for the opportunity at hand or is it more than that? Forget about the search fee, trying to negotiage a lower search fee will just cause grief and lower the value of your partnership. It’s not about the money unless the search firm…

Warning, contains sarcasm...
I've just been in a discussion with a couple of colleagues about how risky it is to apply for a new job. It would seem that from the moment a candidate hits "send" on their online application, they become a magnet for trouble.
Think about it. How many candidates have you have who have applied for a job who - after you clarify…

It's been a while since I wrote so I thought I would throw in a topic for consideration; FOCUS.
The world is getting more and more complex and Lord knows the world of recruiting is not getting any easier. Sometimes, I think, as our lives become more complicated personally, I think we have…

Tom Dimmick, seasoned HR professional turned Third Party Firm owner of DK Search, and I were having a discussion about the recruiting process and what it really is to most job seekers. As well as everybody involved with the mess.
After 25 years in corporate HR Tom speaks from both the internal and external viewpoint.
Tom’s take on the recruiting process and why it will never be a totally positive process no matter how many cows we give away, what kind of system we use or how hard…

There is so much noise out there regarding the death of recruiting. We’ve got Social Media taking over. Recruitment 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4! LinkedIn will have all our jobs, but only until Facebook becomes the new job board. Thanks to Google +, any hiring manager with a computer can now search for candidates. Not only does this mean the end of recruiting agencies as we know them, but it’s only a matter of time before corporate recruiters start singing Danny Boy.
Give me a…

When I was growing up, there was not a holiday that I looked forward to more than Halloween. Not only did I love thinking up a great costume and getting free candy but I always really enjoyed the Halloween route planning sessions the night before.
Every Halloween I’d go to one of my friends places (as they had a better neighborhood) and we’d map out the houses and areas we would hit up during the night. After years of experience, we knew the houses that gave the “good”…
