Great to hear someone talking about adding value and respecting customers' time. Those old lines are hilarious. Incredible that anyone still believes those are the keys to sales success. Where is Tom Hopkins now?
Split - Outside Sales - Omaha - Need Outside Sales Experience in Building Materials, in or near Omaha.
Interesting post. I think you raise a good point and perspective.
The staffing industry has always reacted to economic shifts like an accordian - shrinking to a resource level under capacity during the bad market - and expanding over capacity durin…
So here's a thought about job flow. I'm in the midst of crunching numbers for about 160,000 hires from 40 large firms. Seems the fills attributed to internal moves and promotions has crept up to 50% in 2009 from about 1/3 just two years ago. Might c…
Maureen, you bring up a great point that the business out there does not seem to be enough to sustain the industry at this point. That is clearly the case and I'm sure you hear stories and see things happening that validate that. I'm seeing a lot of…
I think these are remarkably bad times - times that probably all of us have never seen before.
You seem to be touching upon this when you say:
I believe the recruiting industry is much smaller now and we have seen some direct evidence of that. So wh…

- Todd Kmiec & Associates began in 2002 as the Independent Recruiting world was starting to really develop into what it is today and what it will be down the road. We are, and always will be totally committed to working with independent recruiters.
At its core, recruiting is simply about finding the right candidate, not creating them. Our unique business model enables us to both cast a wider net and dig deeper into any industry. In the end, the more difficult positions are filled because of greater reach. With talented independent recruiters working for themselves, our model provides that greater reach. Every recruiter's network is unique and every recruiter's process is their own. By working with strong independent recruiters with various backgrounds, networks, and processes we provide greater and deeper reach to fill difficult positions.
My goal is continued growth on the way to becoming one of the most successful recruiting firms in the country focused strictly on permanent placements with a stronger reach than other agencies because of the strength of the independent recruiters we work with. In addition, we will continue to be the very best option for talented independent recruiters interested in splits or a client side partner. I am committed to this industry and the wonderful people I have had the opportunity to meet and partner with and to doing all that I can to contribute to the continued growth and success of all involved.

Funny Math
There is some funny math going on here. Like my kids say, it's not funny ha ha.......it's funny strange! See, the numbers are always supposed to add up and make sense. But right now there is something missing. We had good production in the fourth quarter. The numbers were good for production in January as well. Number of interviews and candidates in the pipeline? All looking really good. Up and down the line, all of the critical numbers that we look at are good. Very good considering the last co… Continue

Nice Legs
I like nice legs. We are in the midst of a little rally in the recruiting business and I hope this one has the legs to keep going for a while. Job orders are flowing in at a little better pace. The interview process in most cases is moving along a little more quickly, and our pipeline of deals looks better than it has in a long time. So this feels pretty good and many people will be tempted to call it a recovery. Recession over.
I don’t think I can buy that scenario. In the post bubble world we… Continue

Mindless Optimism
There is something said for Mindless Optimism. I heard the term a few weeks ago. I think it came from an Op Ed in the Wall Street Journal in which someone was asked at a party how they were approaching 2010. The answer was with Mindless Optimism. What a great thought for today. Coming off of the last year or two, mindlessness feels pretty good, and optimism is always good.
But I see more wisdom in the term than that. I think mindless optimism gives us the freedom to focus on what we need to in… Continue

Closing Out '09 With A Little Dose Of Optimism
As we close out the year I thought I would share some of an article that a colleague sent to me yesterday and my reaction to it. The article below describes a measured, but more positive outlook for the coming year.
Survey adds to positive hiring outlook

There’s a bit more to celebrate tomorrow night than the start of a new year. A report from CareerBuilder today says more employers are looking to hire next year; fewer are predicting layoffs.

Families Served
Like many generous people throughout the country, my son's Cub Scout pack tries to do their part helping people who are less fortunate and I wanted to share the following story from our Cub Scout Pack Community Service Chairperson.
The second family in Hillsborough was probably the neediest family that we have helped so far. I delivered their gifts to their home in a government apartment building. When I showed up two social workers were there. I explained who I was and that I had some gift… Continue

“Todd is truly a breath of fresh air in this industry. He takes a very open and honest approach when it comes to his business and in the recruiting industry there is not much more you can ask for. I can always trust what Todd tells me and I know that he always has his clients, the candidates and the recruiters best interests in mind during all stages of the process. Todd’s ability to handle the needs of both his client and the candidate in a manner that results in a great experience for all is one of the many factors that set him apart. I am excited to grow our working relationship and look forward to future opportunities with Todd and his company. Todd’s professionalism, dedication to the job at hand and trustworthiness easily allow me to strongly recommend him to any client or business partner. Regardless of the role or opportunity presented to work with him I am certain Todd will make an excellent partner and will leave you with only the best of impressions.” December 14, 2009

“I have worked with Todd for over 3 years and am amazed at his reach nationally to find the best candidates. I have hired him to help one of my clients to find engineers, something in short supply in Southern California. He always comes up with the best candidates, even better than the local recruiters I have worked with. Todd is punctual and very responsive when contacted and stays in touch all the time throughout the process. He is a beacon of light in an industry full of recruiters who are lazy. I highly recommend Todd if you need a recruiter who is very effective and has a great network. He really works for his fees. Dan Curtin” November 10, 2008

“We have been working with Todd Kmiec since the beginning of this year (2008). We have found that Todd is very professional, and that he has a very strong knowledge of the way recruitng should be done. Todd knows his clients and understand what they are looking for in a candidate. He is very quick to respond to any questions and provides concise and clear feedback. When a candidate is in the interview phase Todd follows through so that all parties can be kept up to date and clear on the status. We have worked with Todd on several difficult to fill positions and have both enjoyed, and learned from the experience. We look forward to working with him on many more. November 7, 2008 Sally K.

"Todd is one hard to come by and rare to find. Over the years I’ve known him through our daily recruiting operations, he has never failed me, not even ONCE. He is 200% dedicated and expert at what he does. His follows his miraculous system with precision, insight, determination and perfection. He is one I’ve known with the most business common sense, openness and fairness. You can expect a lot from him but still not getting disappointed. He is truly one of a million, the best partner I’ve had. He sets the perfect example of what a model business partner should be. I can never say enough of how proud I am in finding him. I have no doubt that our partnership will be a lifelong one. I highly recommend Todd to anyone interested in partnering with him for any business activity." May 10, 2009
