"Sea of candidates"

There's a reason people associate used-car salesmen with charlatans. Cars went from a luxury to an absolute necessity, and with the proliferation of models, brands and personalization of automobiles, who's to know if the one you're getting is better or worse than an equally priced one next door?



Similarly, Software Professionals have gone from targeting their careers to sophisticated design of top secret military programs or higher education applications to being requested for pretty… Continue

Recruiting in the Great Depression of 2009-20??

It has been several years since the more astute professional has seen gathering storm clouds across the horizon.



And, there are a multitude of reasons why not just the U.S., but the entire world, is facing extremely troubling times ahead. There's even talk that what lies ahead will be even more challenging than what our grandparents (and great-grandparents) faced during the 1920s.



Now is not the time for a weak heart or complacency. The mother of trouble is bred… Continue

What Makes You HOT In IT

This almost sounds like the title for an article in some romance magazine and in a way, one could say the concept of romance does come into play with what the article is all about.



In our case, we, as IT professionals, have two choices to make about our future:



1. We can find a wonderful company to work for and hunker down for the long-term (i.e. retirement).



2. We can continue to sharpen our skills and choose an area of IT that has a deep need for new… Continue

Video Job Interviews: Remote trumps Live

The obvious use of Video in Recruiting is at the job interview itself, through Video Job Interviews.



The "Live" option works in a way similar to MSN-Skype video applications, allowing conversation to take place.



In the "Remote" option, a Company sets up a Job Interview, sends it to the Candidate, and he/she completes it independently using a webcam.



Both live and remote Video Job interviews beat Video Resumes in interaction capacity, legal convenience and risks… Continue

...it's time to re-arrange

I have been thinking a lot about "change" lately..., and I don't mean the loose stuff you put in the empty Sparklett's bottle at the end of the day. Although change is sometimes painful and can be extremely difficult, it is typically necessary in order to move forward in life or career advancement.



Almost two years ago, I left a comfortable job with a search firm that specialized in nurse management search and the occasional hospital CEO, VP-HR, etc. I had become very… Continue

Referral Strategies

Creating Abundance through Referral Strategies



“Call Jim, he is looking, he has the relationships in place where your client needs them, and he has had high income years selling which means I strongly recommend him, but please don’t tell him where you got his name.”



When you encounter this dialogue what is your next move? Many people I talk to and work with will simply be grateful and feel as if they have had a significant victory only to call their referred lead and find… Continue

The recruiter becomes the recruited.....

It is true, tough times are out there and it appears that corporate recruiters should feel as though things are unstable.



I was released by my most recent employer a few weeks ago due to the economic slow down......have you heard about it?



Seriously, it is a tough market out there for us right now. Corporate Recruiters are not doing a bunch of recruiting right now which is kind of silly. With the immense amount of talented people on the market you would think many… Continue

Dream Candidates Really Do Exist!!

As I was preparing for my upcoming week, I got an email that made my world. My very first dream candidate has materialized before my virtual eyes.



This candidate isn't a dream candidate because he attended a top 15 law school. He isn't a dream candidate because he graduated from this top law school with excellent grades. Nor is he a wonderful candidate because he went to work for one of the most prestigous law firms in New York. Although the credentials are enough to make most… Continue

The Truth about Interview Travel Expenses

The force of globalization and increased movement of workers, coupled with the general lowering of travel costs would indicate a willingness of companies to incur in travel expenses to invite a candidate for an interview, when they are unable to fill a position locally and out-of-state or foreign applicants have the required skills, such as experience in a specific industry or company.



However, reality is different.



Most often than not, companies remain silent on the issue… Continue

"The day ain't over yet..."

I have had a chance recently to think about sales and why we, as Recruiters, tend to live in a state of denial about the roots of this business. I was one of them. My father was a salesman; I grew up in a house where a million dollars was always waiting around the next corner. Two of my brothers are salesmen; I guess it is in the blood.



I spent my first two years in recruitment telling my boss, "I am not a salesman." I refused to face the fact that what I was doing was the very… Continue
