Rational Thoughts on Thinking Creatively

"I’m not talented. Creativity is better left to the artsy types. Some people are born creative and others are not". How many times have you thought or uttered a similar phrase?

Our ideas about our creative selves are too frequently discouraged in our formative years by others whose ability to judge this… Continue

Will clients pay 60% permanent placement fees? Well, yes actually.

Regular readers of my blog will know that I have predicted for some time that clients will expect more from recruiters as the market recovers. I have said that we can expect pressure on our fees, particularly as employers invest in other ways to access talent.





But it’s also true that market forces will prevail. At Firebrand Talent Search we have seen a marked easing in pressure on our fees and in…

Four reasons not to stop your job search during the holidays

A lot of job seekers assume that the holidays stretching from Thanksgiving until after the New Year are a time to put their job search on hold.

Job Hunting Tip #5: Explaining Job Changes

Many job seekers make the mistake of talking negatively about a previous employer, and it is very important to be positive on this topic. When I interview people, I ask them in several different ways to tell why they’d be interested in making a change: What is the ideal job for you? What’s missing at your current job? What needs to be different?



Most of the answers I get revolve around new challenges, a company that is positioned better for growth, the usual. BUT, almost every…

Before you know it, feelings of overwhelm seem to take over and stop you in your tracks.
