3 Fundamentals of Recruiting

Posted on April 21, 2010 at 8:00am 6 Comments 0 Likes

Recruiters, let me tell you something. We’ve lost the basics of recruiting. It’s been replaced with idealistic disillusioned recruitment methods. The problem with most Recruiters is that we get some social media knowledge. A little info or a nugget and we become experts overnight. The fact is, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. None of us do. That’s why were frickin’ recruiters to begin with.

Recruiting is not rocket science. In fact, it’s very simple. It’s finding… Continue

Our current unemployment rate is like the McRib sandwich. With a lot of

hype and marketing, the McRib was McDonald’s finest obesity marketing

scheme to date. It was a boneless pork patty shaped like it had bones.

bun. Whenever the sandwich made a comeback tour, every teen, nerd, geek

and weed smoker communally grubbed on the McRib.

The unemployment rate made a comeback tour and hasn’t… Continue

Jobs Bill Are For Zombies – Chances are you’re a Zombie

The Jobs Bill won’t create many jobs. And you know what? It sucks. We’ve lost millions of jobs and this bill is not enough. Let me say it

again. Jobs-Bill-sucks-huge-big-time.

We have a solution that is so easy and so plain as day that it’s right front of your face. But we’ve become a bunch of corporate zombies

dragging our half-alive-half-dead-ass-carcasses to work we don’t even

see it. In our lives we have become quietly discontent. Focused…

An Open Letter To All Passive Candidates - Quit Your Job.

Posted on March 1, 2010 at 9:05am 1 Comment 1 Like

Congratulations, you’ve managed to keep your job last year. While everyone else was laid off or fired, you worked harder to survive. You sacrificed health, social and family time. And, now you don’t have a life. In fact, you were so overly productive last year the company doesn’t see the need to hire someone now.

You’re stressed. We know. We see the bags under your eyes. So, put down that cup of calming herbal tea. My friend, you need to quit.

Yeah, we know you got bills,… Continue

I agree with Russ. "The Best" is hard to say since it companies have different needs. Many larger companies with multiple HR managers and recruiters, more sophisticated needs, and larger budgets prefer products such as…

I read your post on ATS.
I have been using Alchemus www.alchemus.com or www.inetgen.net for around 6 plus months now.
I find it very efficient. They have come up with a new 7.0 version.

Peace
