What are you doing today to learn from your past?

Most everyone has heard the famous quote from Winston Churchill “Those that fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it”. While this quote focuses on understanding the negative things in your past so you don’t do them again, I also think it’s important to look at the positive side as well. There is lots of information and experience from your past that you most definitely want to replicate and you need to be good at identifying these as well.…

What does your #Recruitment Funnel look like?

As a marketer, I’m continuously looking at our marketing / sales funnel to get a better understanding of how effective every step of the process is in our funnel and identifying the areas in our marketing plan that could be improved.

Frights, Spooks and Scares this Recruiting season!

Halloween weekend is coming up and let’s admit that everyone likes a good scare.

What's Your Employment Value Proposition?

I was speaking with one of our interns the other day about the HR Technology marketplace. In particular, he asked what really differentiated one technology provider from the next as they all sounded like they did the same thing. After taking another look at the messaging on the websites, he was right. So many companies talked about the same benefits and lacked a clear unique value proposition on their site. The question is, how will a Recruiting Director be able to make an… Continue
