Like it or not, markets in which businesses operate have changed and the speed at which these markets changed have left many businesses out of the race. With technology being infused in every small to big organizational dynamics, businesses need smart people who know the art of their trades well better than the competition. And you know who the competitors are? World is at race against you – it’s the whole world that is your competition.

So, where you are leading your business…

Recruitment agencies also know as employment agencies  work as the interface between  prospective employers and job seekers.  When it comes to IT recruitment agencies, both public and private sector agencies follow a similar kind of protocol of hiring manpower. However, there are few differences between the work of private recruitment agencies.  Private recruitment agencies charge a flat fee or a percentage…

Thus online recruitment is the era of quick hiring where employers can get quickly the potential talent.

Talent Acquisition refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified people for a job.

For some components of the Talent Acquisition process, mid- and large-size organizations often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to Talent Acquisition agencies.

Rich Peterson says the Talent Acquisition…

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 …

If English is not your first language chances are that you are active on more than one professional network such as LinkedIn. Services like Viadeo, Xing and others are then probably part of your social media strategy.

The hard news is that since the rise of LinkedIn-Today these platforms are clearly struggling to find a model with which to compete. Their biggest challenge is to make their users coming back and engage.

LinkedIn has not only understood and perfected the art of…

A coworker of mine absolutely detests the phrase, "Recruiting is a lot like dating." She says it's cliche and trite; and she is right. The problem, though, with cliches and all things trite, is that they are true. 

Why is bears repeating that Recruiting is a lot like Dating:

1. There is the obvious "courting" that occurs in both dating and recruiting, with recruiters often serving the role of "Match Maker" between candidates and companies
2. Dating and…

What’s wrong with recruitment…and how to fix it!

This could potentially be a VERY long post because I’m talking about an industry that has many inherent flaws. In my opinion, many of the problems we see stem from some fundamental issues that recruiters have wrought upon themselves and customers…

Agency and corporate recruiters have always had this love/hate relationship. It’s a sibling rivalry of sorts – in some cases each thinks the other doesn’t know what they’re doing. After 10+ years on the agency side, I have a great deal of admiration and respect for those that do it well. I also have a newfound respect for my corporate brothers and sisters as I enter my 7^th month on the dark side. I still maintain that recruiters shouldn't be allowed to go internal until they've…

As the first and oldest staffing agency in Columbus, we have dubbed ourselves the “match makers” of Columbus between businesses and job seekers.  With our main focus being to get our candidates work and to keep our clients happy, we are constantly thinking of other ways to make our company stand out.

I often get asked by the slightly less experienced and slightly more nervous recruiters I meet (online or offline), how we can compete with corporate…

When you decide that it’s time to look for a job, what steps do you take?  Do you go onto job boards, start searching and submit your resume?   Do you ask around to your friends and family to see if they know someone hiring in your field?

How about using a Staffing Agency? There are many rumors that surround using Staffing as a means to get a job.  I am here to help settle those rumors.…

Not all recruiters or recruitment agencies are vultures...or vampires for that matter.  When they cold call--they simply want to help in the recruitment challenges an employer faces.

If they appear to be stalking you as a candidate, or as an employer rep--they are simply trying to get access to interested parties, preferably decision makers--and they are 100% dedicated to a mutual benefit.

Yes, there are some bad apples; some…

Like most sequels, this is not as good as the original, but I hope this is a better sequel than Revenge of the Nerds II.  Please read #4 first if you are pressed for time.

1. Cold Calls on Voicemail. Keep the pitch short. Find out the delete # in my system and say "Don't hit the 9 key! My friend Julie is a top notch SharePoint developer and asked me contact you about yesterday's posting. I'm Julie Carr with Blobert Blaf Blechnology (or any company that just…

After a great discussion with a colleague Rebecca B. Sargeant (RBS-Staffing), this blog entry hit me. So thanks Rebecca for nudging my blog-ism today!

Let me set-up a picture for you, one that if you are a recruiter you are likely very experienced in such situations.…
