11 Years ago my career and life course correct came. It shifted almost overnight. I needed to get back into staffing, and staffing found me. It was a match made in heaven that has since paved the way for everything else I have done. Along the way lessons have been learned, life has happened, change has come, and balance has become even more…

Your Reputation. It's your credibility. It's your voice, it's your respect for others, it's helping others and paying it forward that leads to exceptional Karma. As I look back on amazing circumstances, changes, macro and micro economic circumstances et al, to Recruiting I am reminded on this Friday of something a candidate told me in a 30 minute conversation this week. …

In Talent Acquisition - the Phone is not dead. It is as powerful a tool as anything. For years we have been hearing about expert tools, the latest fads, the shiny objects that come and go. With time, there is still one thing that happens to differentiate, that happens to close the…

Imagine a Future where Robots own every aspect of the Recruiting/Staffing process, where the Robots drive down the cost of staffing such that no human recruiter exists ever again. Imagine where Artificial Intelligence in a reality like Sky Net is scratching the surface of ingenuity such that sourcing, screening, recruiting, offers, and closing all are filtered by Machines. …

A few years ago, when I first started writing here at Recruiting Blogs I must admit one of my very first posts, was all about how HR and Staffing/Recruitment were completely connected. It was in 2008. A lot has changed since that time, as continued technologies have evolved our staffing roles, and recruiting focus points. Believe me, nothing pleases me more than a…

There may be times where one looks at the big picture and wonders, what is coming? In our day and age in Staffing/Recruitment we are the pilot of our own destiny. A Pilot must train hard, and keep their skills sharp, in order to successfully fly. As I went to the March Field Aviation Museum recently nothing was more readily apparent. But now is still a GREAT time…

Introduction:
Throughout the Centuries - Archers have pulled back their bows in an effort to hit the target. Their approach evolved with time in how they saw the target, honed in on it, and set the tone for their approach to perfectly hitting the center. Recruiting I am afraid is much like archery. Hitting the target in staffing is a bigger picture affair,…

ERE's SourceCon Anaheim was a stellar event. I arrived on a Tuesday Sept 20 - a day before the first kickoff networking Happy Hour on the Marriott Anaheim Patio.

It may come as a surprise or not, but there are multiple writers these days whom seem to think that the "Human" element in Staffing is going the way of the dinosaur. It seems a popular writing technique to bring out the sensational, the "gotcha" headline, and the "Automation is Coming" & "Your Recruiting Function is Obsolete" focused attention seeking…

It was 8 years ago in July 2008, where I found myself reflective, hopeful, pondering from a bird's eye view my Career vantage point while overlooking Lake Tahoe in a year where I had steered my career back to the staffing landscape. It was a welcome reprieve from what up until that point had been a busy year. Lake Tahoe, a beloved place I love to visit and will have…

Daniel Chester French's sculpture of Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was a few years ago when I first read Emerson's Self Reliance. It was recently I re-read it. It is a brilliant master-piece of writing that has given me hope and focus when I need that extra push and motivation to create vast recruiting outcomes of amazing fit.

Recently, I had a flash back to the '80s and Tina Turner's song - "What's Love Got to Do With It?", which I found playing on the radio one day while driving. Appropriate because it is Valentine's Day this week. As I listened I got a clue into a theme which plays out every day, 365 days a year, not just in February in Staffing/HR Departments across the world. The concept…
