Thanks for the information, Travis. It's much appreciated. I will certainly keep it in mind.

Jerry, great (and this meant as a compliment) that I wasn't allowed to get away with my comments without you coming back at me, - thank you for that. Hmm, had candidate today a Frenchman that I had a scheduled 45 min. telephone screen with that…

Jerry Albright commented on Travis Furlow's blog post 'What differentiates your recruiting model?'

I'll jump back in here. Jacob - I'll agree with a few points but have to offer my different view as well. Matching a candidate with the opening has not changed. I can't really see it changing much - if any - in the future. My…

I enjoyed your take on being different Jerry, and have watched your video not once but twice. As to Preet's comment and claiming to have heard it all before and linking with Jerry's video differentiator, - why all the song and dance and…

Are you a fear-based recruiter?

I am a recovering fear based recruiter! My diagnosis came during a 2-hour presentation (six months ago) which was intended to shed light on the fact that the bulk of people’s decisions are made in or out of fear and I am now working to help others realize the pain that one lives with when they are in a constant state of fear too. Maybe I should back up and explain where this “fear based” talk comes from. A few months ago the organization I work for did something for our team that inspired my…See More

Great Article Travis, I was meeting with a vendor the other day and I heard a similar pitch that I have heard in the past or that has been said in here. There are several other differentiators that I have seen work in the past that I would…

Travis Furlow commented on Matt Alder's blog post 'Why Social Recruiting needs to fail'

Matt, I really enjoyed the post! I wanted to throw this comment out and see how others felt... our team is working through a "re-branding" and the marketing/PR consultants we have engaged brought up a great point; social media (from a…

Sandy, Performance Based Interviewing and Assessments can be an AWESOME set of tools to use and thanks for sharing some of your best practices. If you ever need a consultant/provider of those interviews, screening tools or assessments; I have worked…

Thanks Isaac! It's been great to see so many comments from people who share similar views and some of the ideas that have been thrown around are tremendous. I know that we still run "for profit" businesses, but for the last year I…

Isaac commented on Travis Furlow's blog post 'What differentiates your recruiting model?'

Travis, Good stuff man. I have come across people that are basically in it for the money and for the love of closing the sale. Although those are all wonderful and im not complaining about the money being good, some recruiters (or so called) have…

Sandy MacDonald commented on Travis Furlow's blog post 'What differentiates your recruiting model?'

I can readily identify with your approach, Travis. Yes, we are running a business and I always keep that in mind. However, for those of us who have ever been on the "jobseeker" side of the desk (and I have before founding my own business)…

Victoria, I appreciate your thoughts and from the sounds of your response...I can't offer too many tips to you because you have hit on a number of great tips already! It's great to hear that you have zeroed in on your niche (school…

Preet being different than your competitor is just the first step in why your Clients will choose you and your service. In the end you still have to deliver a quality end product or service - takes you out of the promise stage. There has to be a…

What differentiates your recruiting model?

I attended an HR Conference in Fort Worth, Texas at the tail end of 2009 and had the opportunity to meet with dozens of exhibitors and attendees who work in the HR space. Par for the course; the event coordinators placed all of the staffing and recruiting exhibitors in the same row, which enabled me to listen to the presentations/elevator pitches of a…

Posted on February 22, 2010 at 12:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

It is late February in Michigan and although we have received another 8 inches of snow today, I thought an article about “spring cleaning” would keep spirits up! As a coach and consultant in the recruiting industry, I have become disciplined in the art of “career spring cleaning” and I wanted to reach out and offer some advice to the executives,…

Recruit or not to recruit...that is the question!

You own a small business or you help manage one. You feel responsible for the lives of the people who work for you and you think the market is going to pick up at some point in the next year. Maybe an “extra” sales person would help your business grow. Maybe you have the right sales people, but they are starting to get busy…
