10 reasons to prioritize immediately available candidates

Nervous candidates may be reading the press and viewing the TV news and deciding it's "better the devil you know" and consequently putting their job search on hold until it's more certain as to what the future holds for the economy. In this climate, there is even more reason to work hard on placing immediately available candidates. When I was working a perm desk I always paid special attention to my immediately available candidates. Although they may not have all been A1 candidates, they were… Continue

Gotta stop fakin' it

Whether you are a management professional, chef, engineer or jewelery designer, each one of us is lured to fake our resume to get the dream job. Some people call it “absolutely unethical”, whereas some people feel that is “fine” to fake one’s resume. When we graduate, we are on a warpath, ready to take up the challenges and face the world with whatever we have. But when reality bites, the picture seems a lot more different and we are willing to do whatever it takes to make things work. There co… Continue

Got wind jobs? Here’s where to post them

There are dozens if not hundreds of green job boards filling the spaces in the online recruitment landscape. Every blogger and his mother seems to have one attached to their site touting it as the place to post your eco friendly postings. The problem is these green sites are not focused enough. A ‘green job’ is a relative term and many types of jobs can be green. So if yo… Continue

Treadmill Thoughts

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." H.L. Mencken

Third Party Thursday - I know your area code and I'm not picking up the phone.

I'll be the first to admit publicly that If I can't recognize the number that magically appears on my caller ID, I won't answer the phone. And I don't feel guilty about it. I think I've become sort of like "rain man" with area codes and it's getting a little freaky. Making a game of gu… Continue

Recruiters, don’t despair, recessions end!

Until about 6 months ago, I had the best recruitment job in the world ! Seriously. CEO of a global, yet niche recruiter, with 450 staff spread across 30 offices in 15 countries. We dominate our space in most markets, we are highly profitable, and we do cool things all the time (see Aquent.com) But that was then. For the last six months I have had one of the hardest, least rewarding jobs in recruitment (well that’s a hotly contested title I know, but it seems that way to me)!. Like everyone els… Continue

Shaking My Fist At TopLinked

I’m exhausted. Today, I received nearly 100 invitations through LinkedIn to join groups ranging from increasing sales to in-home cooking lessons. I have nobody to blame, but myself. Like a moth drawn to light, I was blinded by the sexiness of growing my network. You see, I used to be a conservative Linker, who only accept/extended invites from people I knew, had previously worked with, and/or attempted to hire. In the glitz and glamour of it all, I joined that dreaded TopLinked site and like ma… Continue

Treat your job search like a. . .job search

Employment Gaps in Your Resume

For most people there is a break in their employment history where they have taken time off. This could be for any reason from returning to school, taking care of an ill relative, starting a family, to taking an extended trip to Africa. For many potential employers this is not a "deal… Continue

Cool stuff – who needs it?

admit it – I’m a sucker for bright shiny new technology. In fact, I’m susceptible enough that I spend a good deal of time being very critical of anything new. Why? (a) I’m weak, and (b) a lot of this stuff just disappears and you can’t remember why you liked it in the first place. And how is this relevant to job boards and careers site? Well…almost every couple of weeks I am approached by another vendor with a ‘killer’ tool that integrates into an existing site and will drive up revenues – or I… Continue

Recruiting As A Career Path For The Gen Y -SHRM Highlights!

Being an entrepreneur is in the forefront of the minds of the Y. They want freedom, power and control. I assured them they would have all of this if they were also proactive, tenacious and willing to do the work. I spoke on Saturday to a group of professors, students, and HR leaders /mentors about careers in and around HR. As always I was passionate and engaging with the audience. What they did not know they'd get that they did was a powerful dose of ‘pursue your passions’ and what you think yo… Continue

Summer Plans Revealed: More Innovation, Less Fish

“Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s jobs with yesterday’s tools.” Marshall McLuhan I was at a barbeque in San Francisco this weekend and while everyone agreed that it’s nice that summer has finally arrived, our conversation inevitably meandered into talk of work and our summer work intentions. Alex, a partner i… Continue

Happy is so Yesterday!

As a recruiter with 20+ years of experience I’ve heard the phrase “no thanks I’m very happy where I am at now” more times than I can count, and as recruiters all the world over know this is the equivalent to the brush off “no thanks….I’m just looking” that many of us use with retail sales people. However, what I’m finding as I recruit now is that that very few (and I mean VERY FEW) people bother with such comments as more now prefer to get more details about the job/career path/projects/location… Continue
