A blog post by Simon Parkin was featuredPay Your Corporate Recruiters More Like Your Sales People
Throughout my career as a senior Recruitment Leader and now as an Organizational Talent advisor to a number of companies, I have been fortunate enough to work with a large number of great organizations who gave me the opportunity to partner with them on developing and implementing new practices to enhance their recruitment function and hiring outcomes. A few years ago a large Canadian organization asked me to come in and partner with them to build an in-house recruitment function for them from…See More

Recently I facilitated a session on “Recruitment Trends and Best Practices” for a large group of senior Recruitment and HR leaders from a large global technology company at their annual HR Leadership offsite in Chicago. This organization is one of the better ones I have worked with in terms of their focus and investment in talent. They understand that the acquisition, development and engagement of talent is the number one priority for their HR team. Their partners in the business look to…See More

Kelly Blokdijk commented on Simon Parkin's blog post 'Your Integrity, Your Reputation and the Ability to Succeed in HR & Recruitment'"Terrific article, Simon! Integrity is something that I seem to think about constantly. Yeah, really - I should get a hobby or something!

Vaughn Welches commented on Simon Parkin's blog post 'Your Integrity, Your Reputation and the Ability to Succeed in HR & Recruitment'"Simon,
Totally agree! If integrity is not there, what else is there? My mother used that quote from Mrk Twain, she used to say, "If you always tell the truth you don't have to ever remember what you said" And when a…"
Geoff commented on Simon Parkin's blog post 'Your Integrity, Your Reputation and the Ability to Succeed in HR & Recruitment'"Hi Simon
Excellent article. Some of us work in organisations that will profess to have core values but the real crux comes for the sales person when there is a choice of compromise your values or loose the income. For me it has never been a choice…"
A blog post by Simon Parkin was featuredYour Integrity, Your Reputation and the Ability to Succeed in HR & Recruitment
People who know me know how important integrity is to me. People close to me within my network definitely think I take too hard of a stance on others who have let me down through their actions and subsequent lack of integrity. I am a very trusting person and want to always be able to take people at their word. But once a person fails to live up to their word I have a very difficult time looking beyond that experience and continuing our professional or personal relationship. It's different…See More

Ravi Goel commented on Simon Parkin's blog post 'The Impact of Poor Recruiting - Candidates vs. Customers'"good point.. and i agree to your friends approach..not many companies make that connection... recruiting is the eyes and ears of any organisation.. the whole process has to run as the impression you want to float in the market.."
