What in the Wakoopa is going on here?

Posting is abridge due to screenshots...

Remember back in the day, say the year 2000? The turn of the century, Y2K, when we all thought the world was going to end. I personally thought that by now I would be flying my Delorean DMC 12 to work or having my robot housemate fetch me some beverages. So, I never got any of that but I did get Wakoopa!

What the hoopa is Wakoopa?

Wakoopa is a great tool that allows you… Continue

Productivity and the Perspective Piece of the Puzzle

I found this today on PickTheBrain.com and wanted to share it. Truly an inspiring piece that can help many of us during stressful times. What really moved me was the thinking on perspective, and how it can change everything.

So if you feel stuck, in anything, step back. Take a break. Come back to the situation with a new perspective. If you think about a jigsaw puzzle, how different does it look when you are right on top…

A Neat Christmas Idea

In a former life I worked for Xerox. A friend sent me a note telling me about something the company was doing in a effort to let our troops know that no matter how you feel about it personally, we very much appreciate the fact that they are out there for the rest of us.

The site is called: www.LetsSayThanks.com. It allows you to send a card to a serviceperson. You just fill it out (takes less than a minute) and Xerox will print the card and have it delivered. The cards were designed… Continue

Are Your Candidates Full of Wakoopa?

One of the questions I receive weekly is in regards to what social networks or applications I find most useful for recruiting and employment branding. We as hungry recruiters can't help but wonder if we're the only ones using LinkedIn or Facebook for sourcing and if there is something out there that's easier or more powerful that could help us get the job done. Some of us still struggle with deciding what tweeting tool to use (… Continue

Firing Your Client

There is lots of news these days of people being fired. It's not good. In fact, it's really not good at all but there is nothing more liberating as a third party recruiter when you get to fire a client. goes something like this.

Recruiter: I can't work with you under these conditions. You don't give feedback, you make terrible offers and I'm firing you.

Client: what do you mean you are firing us, I pay… Continue

Happy Birthday to ME!
