Such a great advice Jeff! Just a good looking resume does not decide the talent of the person.There are some other depths of a personality which needs to be considered before forwarding the candidate to the clients.Its about assessing the talent fro…

You are absolutely right Jeff... a Zen master told me "do today, what you can do tomorrow, and do now what you can do today". Only we can maximize our own business, so the harder we work, the more gas we can afford for our ferraris Good post Jeff!

That’s correct. It’s very difficult to come out of the "Form over Function" mentality and doing downsizing to respond to the economic conditions. To speed up the performance, it’s important to know that the employees hired are the right fit for the…

What is Past Is Prologue

With nearly 10% unemployment and almost 15 million people out of work, more and more individuals are seeking the services of recruiting firms, resume writing companies, networking websites, and personal coaches to help them identify and find new positions.

While I feel utilizing these ideas are certainly a good one, I contend that most unemployed people fail to utilize one particular source when seeking a new job.

We all have had careers with industries and firms wh… Continue

The Fine Line Between Follow Up and Harassment

It’s happened to all of us.

As a Recruiter, you send the job description to a candidate to review for consideration and potential submission to your customer, have a “great” phone conversation, lock up the details, psych up your Sales Guy with the “perfect” candidate and boom…after sending the resume to the Sales Guy to send to your customer, you hear crickets. Chirp, chirp. Your candidate falls off the face of the earth.

Or as a Sales Guy, you send the “perfect” candidate against your require… Continue

Taking Time

Taking Time

We spend so much time as recruiters and salespeople in developing relationships with candidates that sometimes we forget just how far we can actually take that relationship – for mutual benefit.

1. Take time to explain what your firm offers but also listen to what your candidate wants.

When we speak with candidates and sell them on how wonderful our firms are, on how outstanding our processes are, and on how great it is to work with us – we as recruiters and sales people tend to b… Continue

Referencing The Reference

Sometimes the most obvious things are right under our noses, aren’t they?
Take leads. In this business, Account Executives and Recruiters alike live and die by the leads they develop. The old ABC’s of generating referral contacts (A = Ask for Referrals, B = Beg for Referrals, C= Call for Referrals) rings true now more than ever as firms work harder to develop new business in this challenging economic landscape.
So why not start with Referencing The Reference?
Simply put, when performing the obli… Continue

Truth In Advertising

Imagine this.

A new customer introduces you and your firm to an opportunity where, if you successfully fill their most challenging requirement, it will open up numerous doors to other opportunities within their organization. If you land the placement, you will regarded as a “Staffing Firm above all Staffing Firms” – one that not only found their hardest to find resource but also one that uniquely separated themselves from the packs of other staffing vendors that have struck out on this same req… Continue
