With the rise of social media, the increased importance on employer branding and increasingly sophisticated sourcing tools and techniques, successful recruiting today requires increased complexity. As employers embrace these best practices, they've also increasingly embraced recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) as a core component of their core talent acquisition strategy.…

The big news in the last week seems to be that Facebook can tell you if your relationship is going to work.  No, they're not clairvoyant, it's based on research from Jon Kleinberg of Cornell University surrounding something called "dispersion."  Jon worked with Lars Backstrom of Facebook and researchers to…

1. Professional writing service providers make available content that is paragraphed according to most important rules or laws concerning a natural trend or the function of a complicated system of Search…

The benefits of holding a college degree for a job-seeker are fairly obvious - August 2013 stats show that the unemployment rate for college graduates is just under 4 percent, compared to nearly 8 percent of those who only have a high school diploma and nearly 11 percent for high-school dropouts.

However, that only answers the question how much attending college should matter for…

Consultative selling, as a conceptual practice, has been around for more than a decade. However, is this what buyers really want? Do they merely want someone to consult with them, behave like a consultant, or even take a consultative approach with them? Last time I checked, consultants are still often accused of telling people what to do; most buyers aren’t interested in being told what to do.

This is why consultative selling is on the way out and Collaborative…

Recruiting could be thought of as a fraternity.  When you start out as a recruiter, you are a pledge.  You have to earn your stripes.  If you are smart, you will start with an agency. Recruiting is sales.  It is highly competitive and there is no other place to learn the business than in an agency.

So, when you start your career in recruiting you have a…

Passive job seekers aren't those who are lazy or disinterested. In fact, they're quite the opposite - they're too busy doing their job successfully to know that another company has their sights set on their talent. That's exactly what makes them so appealing.

For one thing, these candidates are currently employed. They're productive members of the workforce, gaining skills, experience, and education that could benefit your company. However, they're not the people who are searching job…

‘Objection! Leading the witness! 

‘Objection! Speculation!' 

‘Objection! Relevance?' 

These lines are classic courtroom interjections I have heard in movie and TV dramas for as long as I can remember. 

It's all designed to create greater dramatic tension. How true is it all to real life in a US courtroom? I don't know, as I have never been in one but I certainly enjoy watching the fictionalised courtrooms that the characters in the various…

Consider the following while embarking on your new career journey.

Most employment experts agree that accounting is one of the few professions expected to be "safe" over the next decade, with plenty of opportunities, even as much of the job market remains difficult for white-collar workers. Remaining competitive, however, is more important for accountants than perhaps anyone else, as the wealth of opportunities will draw top candidates with whom you'll have to compete.

The single best way to to do this is to master software applications that you'll…

I was fresh out of college and ready to change the world. I was a Political Science major and applying for everything and anything related to that field. But I wasn't having much luck. I branched out to other entry-level jobs in the mortgage industry, banking, insurance, anything. OK...some job offers but not all that exciting and the money was just above poverty level.

Maybe a Recruiter can help me? I call in to a firm and the Recruiter profiles me and asks if I ever thought about…

After attending a number of Recruiting and HR conferences this fall, I have noticed a few common themes. In particular, in both Europe and the U.S. the major focus has been on 1) “Big Data”; and 2) recruiters as marketing and sales people.These ideas are widely accepted –…

Twitter can't be beat when it comes to candidate & lead generation.  Sure, it's good for engagement, and great for sharing content.  That's what it's really designed for, after all.  But the nice thing about effective engagement and relevant content on Twitter is that you can build up a very targeted, highly segmented base of followers which essentially make them warm…

Are you considering buying an Applicant Tracking System but questioning whether it’s worth purchasing one? Many myths surround the value and use of ATS’s and many business do not completely understand what an ATS is, what it does and why they might need one.

 and evaluations are how we keep our workforce in good shape. Retention and engagement both increase when good work is consistently and relevantly rewarded, and the documentation of poor work keeps the company safe and moving forward. Evaluations are how we keep a finger on the pulse of our workforce, but a lot of leaders aren’t using them optimally, or at all for that…

You know what you need to do when you are job hunting. You search for job opportunities on the Internet, browse the company sites, fill up the general information in an application format and add your curriculum vitae.

Once you are done with this, what do you do? You probably wait. There are chances that your resume may go into the black hole, maybe it gets lost in a pile of hundreds of resumes or it may find its way to the desk of the hiring manager.…

WELCOME NEW YEAR & HOLIDAYS.

When we start something, start a search, a commitment, a focal…
