I’m back this week with part two in the series : Recruiting the Misunderstood. In Part One I defined Gen Y and discussed the various characteristics of the “Millennial”. I received some good feedback…
I'll admit, finding yourself unemployed with the holidays just around the corner could be a scary thing. You've probably heard that many companies freeze hiring during this time, and pick up with new budget in January. In some cases, that is true, but fear not! Being laid off in November or December does not have to mean the end of the world. By no means should you…

Recruiting Generation Y is a topic on the minds of countless recruiters across the globe. As more and more of the Baby Boomer generation approach retirement, Generation X workers disperse into those former roles, and recruiting efforts focus on sourcing from the Generation Y. This is part one of a two part series. Today, I will share some information that will help…

You won’t hear me use the word “feel” very often when it comes to the screening process. As a general rule, you have to be careful not to rely too much on your personal feelings when it comes to recruiting. If you are not disciplined enough to put qualifying the candidate first, you will not find the best candidate for the position. First and foremost you must …

This week I want to take some time to talk about one of the most important parts of the recruitment process that is often overlooked; prepping the candidate for interview.
It has always amazed me that so many otherwise exceptional recruiters will work so hard to identify a good job order; find the ideal candidate; set up an interview and then drop the ball. Why would anyone work…

As I thought about topics related to work for this week’s blog, my dad kept coming to mind. Maybe it is because Father’s Day is Sunday, but with every thought, I could almost hear his voice and the bits of advice he has given me over the years. Each one is deserving of its own post, but I think the lesson that…

Critical to any recruiter’s career, is the ability to find and maintain relationships with exceptional passive talent. According to one LinkedIn report, only 21% of the world’s workforce considers themselves an active candidate. The other 79% are passive candidates. These so-called passive candidates are where you will build your core network.…

Not a week goes by that I don't hear someone complaining about their displeasure with an application process. Common complaints revolve around submitting a resume to a "black hole". They never receive a response. They spent an hour on the complicated online tool for submitting an application only to receive an immediate message : DECLINE.
I don't think it…

When I was a girl one of my biggest goals was to be able to do the splits like all of my little gymnast friends. Let's just say that we are NOT all created equal. I never did pull off the physical act of doing the splits. I did, however, master recruiting splits. Those splits really worked for me.
For those who are not familiar with the term "splits" as it…

This week’s post is for those of us who need a little motivation for that bigger than life project we’re working on. Whether it was assigned, or you volunteered for it, you know the one I mean. It is the one you’ll be working on this weekend. It’s the one that seems to never be finished; the one that keeps you awake at night. It is the most challenging project on your plate. Sometimes, it…

In light of the events in Boston this week, I thought this might be a good time to talk about disaster planning, and how it relates to recruiting.
Regardless of the disaster, be it natural or otherwise, it is important to know how your company, and/or those you recruit for, will react in emergency circumstances. Many small businesses…

Recruiting can be a very misunderstood job and finding a true "star" in this industry is not easy. So how do you make a star recruiter?
Is it in the training? Uh-uh. Despite the claims of very successful professional recruiting trainers, I don't think that is it. It might increase the probability, but I've seen plenty of recruiters receive training from the…

This week I want to talk about those candidates who stalk us. You know the candidate I mean. They are the one you ask the lady at the front desk to send directly to voice mail. I use the word stalk in fun really. Mine has never threatened me. We have a love/hate relationship. Let me explain:
We had a thing once. By "thing" I mean I had a really hard to fill job order this guy was…

I have been fascinated by just how far mobile technology has come in the last 5 years and even more so by where it is going. Something that has become so ingrained into our lives has to effect recruiting, right? Well of course it does!
My husband is working out of state this week and while the kids and I sat using the …
