Lol. The opening sounds familiar. Very Shakespearean. You must have had a great relationship with your boss because that could have gotten anyone else one less reference. Loved it!
Lol. A rare animal at the zoo... Great insight! I really appreciate it.
I have been on the corporate side of the fence for just about 2 decades. I did TPR for about a minute or so a few years ago. The big difference is the "numbers" part of the show. The pressure is different on the corporate side of the fence. First ...
Okay, so what would you guys say are the main differences between agency recruiting and corporate recruiting. I feel like I have a pretty good idea but I sure would appreciate some extra insight! What are the biggest responsibilities a corporate r...
Hey Jane,
I think you just need to be sure as to the reasons you want to join the Corporate game. I've been doing it for 7 years, and there is a big difference, and it just isn't the sales focus (BTW, I still need to have a sales focus).
I'd be ...
Sorry., I'm really not a pretentious snob... I have defined my alphabet soup below...

Thanks, Rayanne! All good questions, but what is a TPR? So many acronyms in this field--it's hard to keep track!
Hi Jane~
I worked the corporate side for a bit and loved it...
However, there are indeed pitfalls/questions to be wary of. When interviewing, I would specifically ask about the recruiting department budget and how it is supported. How long has t...
Hi Folks! Long time no see! I am on the market looking for recruiting jobs with a twist (done with agency recruiting and looking into Corporate Recruiting or Admissions Recruiting roles.) I want to make the best, most informed decision possible, s...
Personally, I think my ability to sympathize and offer counsel to candidates keeps them coming back. It's not my job to be anyone's therapist but I don't want alienate my candidates either. Having been on the candidate side I can see the psycholog...
Well, I live right outside of Philadelphia and (so far) have managed to not have to take a job in the city because it's much more expensive to work in Philadelphia when you factor in parking, traffic, and city wage tax. If you normally make $40k/y...

Top 10 Reasons Mothers Make the Best Recruiters
As a belated mother's day gift to the mothers on the board...
Top 10 Reasons Mothers Make the Best Recruiters:
10. We’ve been lied to by enough men and children to know exactly what a lie looks like before it even gets out of a hiring manager or candidate’s mouth.
9. We’ve spent most of our lives surrounded by whiners so we are able to tune out anything annoying.
8. The meanest hiring managers/executives/company owners are not intimidating to a woman who has squeezed a child from her loins.… Continue

Hiring Based on Merit--Does that Still Happen?
I've read a lot of blogs and articles and have sat in on countless webinars and seminars about what makes a "good" candidate and how to prep them for interviews and you know what--so much of it is so superficial it makes me want to vomit. Whatever happened to hiring people based on merit? Education, skills, training, on-the-job experience doesn't count for enough now. You also have to be pretty, charming, witty, drive a nice car, wear a nice suit, shake hands, smile, kiss babies--when did politi… Continue

I Cannot Tell a Lie! ...And I'm Not a Politician, So It's Not Just a Catchy Phrase.
I'm giving you all fair warning and letting you know that this is a touchy-feely kind of blog. If you are looking for some sort of information on how to become a better recruiter, you will not find it here. Actually, you will probably not find it in any of my blogs ever.
I woke up at 6:30am to discover my 2-year-old son, Cole, whining in his crib. I pick him up and he cuddles next to me like a baby kooala bear. Cole is usually in great spirits when he wakes up in the morning so I was a bit baff… Continue

Citigroup Surprise?

I am not surprised they showed a profit (finally.) They laid off a ton of people and are lending "conservatively."

I Hate Your Guts but I'll Represent You, You Stupid Dick.
I am finding that one of my biggest challenges of late is finding and having to represent the most abhorent, rude, arrogant, pompus, skilled, intelligent, well-educated, experienced jerks with inflated senses of self-worth. Originally when I came across these people I parked them in my database and said, "the hell with you, you stupid dick! I hope you never get another job again." However, I realized that my approach is immature. In real life I can decide to cut jerks out of my life (and do, reg… Continue
