Fee negotiations are fine before you start the recruitment process but definitely NOT once the candidate is found and on interview with the client. Agree the fee from the outset and have a clear understanding of what you are being paid for the serv…

I made 3 placements while waiting in line to ride The Beast at Kings Island yesterday........ For $30 you get a USB drive picture thing (shaped like a little T-shirt) and they'll download up to 4 different roller coaster pics on there for you.

We all know this is not new here on RBC or any other social site and Jerry has been kind enough to blast those in the past for the rest of us that are really interested in learning more about our industry. Please tell me you slapped them with your "…

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Candidates are not interested in being engaged by your "employment brand". They want a job. If they send a resume - they want to know what happens to it. If they interview - they want to know if they're i…

I guess I couldn't really tell what this is about - but I think it's about video resumes. They are not accepted now and in all likelihood will not be in the future either.

Hi Barb. This story is one of many similar in today's market. It's a bummer! I've got a few questions though. At the start you used a few words that had me thinking this was a retained search - "engaged" and "contracted". As your story unfolded it…

Regarding these flowers that need just 3 ice cubes each week - I accidentally went 10 days in between cubings this last time - but I think it (the Orchid) will be OK. I'll keep you posted on it.

My Littlest Placement

My Littlest Placement







I have been given a gift. Well – not given, necessarily. It was earned. Those are the best anyway,aren’t they?







We’ve been recruiting for a junior level IT role with a client for the past 3 weeks or so. Not much in the way of qualifications – college degree, some sort of “paid” IT experience combined with a nice personality and en

What makes you think you deserve a "premium" fee?

Fee negotiations. Fun stuff, eh?

You finally connect with a manager that seems to need your help. You think you've done a good job "not" sounding like an idiot. Though the position was a little outside of your comfort zone you held on nicely. Your questions seemed to spark quite a dialogue: What projects will this person work on? How big is the team? Tell me about your company.........why do you LOVE working there? What are the types of companies that seem to have the best candidates?… Continue

Are you in a race today?



“It’s kinda like a race – but without cars and stuff.”

This is how my soon-to-be 9 year old son summed up what my day looks like today. I was grabbing my first cup of coffee (trying the Hawaiian Kona from Sam’s Club – first bag – it’s kind of mild…..) and he asked me what was happening.

He’s seen m… Continue

Recruiters - How are you going to finish the year?

I posted this yesterday on my personal blog and then realized something. Recruitingblogs gets thousands of hits a day. MY SITE doesn't even get half that! SO here it is. If it inspires even one person then I'm glad I dragged it over here too!
Few things refresh the spirit like a handful of sendouts. It’s pretty easy to relax a bit when you’ve got some activity on your desk. As I sit here with 4 sendouts on the books – some have… Continue

Hey Jerry, It was really great to see you at RecruitFest!! Maybe you picked up my smiling vibe because I was smiling when I wrote my post. In fact on a few occasions in the past 2 days, I have just bursted out laughing in public, thinking about RecruitFest 09! People give me strange looks at first, but then they generally laugh too, even though they have no idea why... :) Ok back to work. TGIF!
