Searching Google Plus

In research for a webinar I ran last week Google Plus for Recruiters, I found that there are not too many useful tools to help recruiters source candidates on Google Plus. The big problem with the search within Google Plus is that there is no good way to limit your search to a specific geographic area. It would appear that the most effective way is not to use the search in Google Plus but use a Google X-Ray search. Glen Cathy…See More

"A week?  I see nothing wrong here. You are working with the person who must get the contract signed, not sign the contract. I've waited a month in those cases. Legal is busy, you are going to have to wait."

"The phrase I really hate seeing is 'Able to work autonomously or in a team.'  At the start of my recruitment career, it was in at least 95% of the resumes I read and it has always driven me crazy!"

No excuses, the best candidate wins.

Posted by Trevor Walker on May 21, 2013 at 2:01pm 0 Comments

We work in a ridiculously simple industry, we find great people. Although it's complex in execution, the simplicity of it is astonishing. We tend to forget that over time, when the candidates are hard to find or the jobs dry up, we externalize and rationalize our lack of success. In nearly every market there is a shortage of "great" candidates, and it's up to us to find them!

Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?

Posted by Cristina Lewis on May 21, 2013 at 10:15am 15 Comments

Hi everyone! So, I just started a new job in April with a GREAT firm. I am now responsible for working both sides of the desk. This is my first experience with client development, so I wanted some helpful tips. I met a director of HR for a local company at a professional networking event. She told me she was looking for a corporate recruiter that has experience specific to the industry she works in. Within a day, I found her an AMAZING candidate (name blocked out of course because at that…
