How many recruiters use researchers??

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of commotion about recruiters using researchers. To me it is a great idea. This "NEW" development in the recruiting industry sounds like the same thing we have always had when I was at MRI called a "PC". My question(s) is(are) - "Are you using one (or more)?" or - "Do you know how many recruiters are using them?" - "Does anyone feel that there are situations where a recruiter should not use one?" - "If you are not using one, why?" Enjoy the day!

Does anybody have any PERSONAL experience of reading a book or article, hiring a coach etc. that has helped him or her in this area?? Or is there anyone who has over come this problem and can offer good advise from pe… Continue

Survey: 22% of companies ban social networking sites

Social networking sites are banned by nearly a quarter of all companies, many of which see them as a drain on productivity and a haven for idleness, according to a new survey. Most companies do not have a formal policy on employees' use of sites like Facebook Inc., but 22 percent block them in the workplace, according to Chicago-based human resources consulting firm Challenger Gray & Christmas Inc. The survey, which polled 200 HR professionals at an industry convention in Chicago, also sai… Continue

Are you better at finding the candidates??

Hello Fellow Recruiters!

I want to find the recruiters who are better at finding candidates than finding job orders.

I have always enjoyed working with clients and I have always been able to generate a lot of good job orders. Although I am able, I do not particularly enjoy finding the candidates. My goal is to partner with one or two GOOD recruiters on a long-term basis.

If this interests you and you have filled positions in the manufacturing, food, beverage or C…

Do you want to attract more visitors to your career site but don’t have the budget for a big advertising or public relations campaign? No problem.

One of the most efficient and effective ways to attract highly targeted visitors to any web site is by increasing the number of visitors who find you in the organic (free) results of search engines such as Google and Yahoo. But how do you increase the number of those visitors? Make your web site come up higher in the results so more of your targeted visitors will see your site and click through. Two of the best ways of making your site come up higher in the search results are to add more content to your site and to increase the number of links to your site.

The Recruiting Blogswap at can help your career site come up higher in the search engine results because you can use it to increase the amount of content on your site and the number of links to your site. The Recruiting Blogswap is a FREE service of job board CollegeRecruiter.com but used by a wide variety of career sites. Some of the career sites want to attract candidates with years of experience, with certain skills, or from certain geographic areas. Other career sites which participate want to attract human resource professionals, hiring managers, or others on the employer side of the desk. But all of them use the Recruiting Blogswap to increase the number of targeted visitors to their site and they don’t pay a dime to do so.

If you have career-related articles, then sign up with the Recruiting Blogswap as an author. Your articles will automatically include a byline that will tell the readers about your organization and will link to your web site. Those articles will run on recruiting blogs which have signed up to publish articles written by you and other authors. When your articles run on those other sites, they will link to your site and that link will be in close proximity to the description of your organization in your byline. Google and the other search engines will infer from the proximity of the link to those keywords that your site is a good source for those who are searching for that information so your site will be moved up in the search engine results when people search on those keywords.

If you want to add more content to your site, then sign up with the Recruiting Blogswap as a publisher. You’ll receive articles from authors and may publish them on your site. If you choose not to, then the articles that you’re sent will be re-assigned to the next publisher in line. You’re never under an obligation to publish an article so you don’t have to worry about being asked to run an article that will be of no interest to your visitors. And by adding more articles to your site, when Google, Yahoo, and the other search engines find those articles, they’ll include them in their search results and will direct your most desired visitors to your site when they search for that type of content. Also, when you add more pages to your site, the search engines rank all of your pages higher as sites with more pages tend to be more likely to have the information being searched for.

Sound good? I thought so. What’s the catch? None. All of the participants get something of value. The authors get links back to their sites from the web sites of the publishers so the web sites of the authors appear higher in the search engine results. The publishers get more pages so their web sites appear higher in the search engines results. CollegeRecruiter.com gets a very short blurb in each article and archives a copy of each article on our site so our site appears higher in the search engine results.

Want to sign up as an author, publisher, or both? Great. Go to http://www.RecruitingBlogswap.com and get started today.

Please let me know if I may be of any additional assistance. I am here to help.

2. sure, friends are nice to have. As retired AF most of my friends are scattered around. When I get that RV it will give me more places to go.
1. should my resume be geared toward food services (many years, most positions) or anthropology and research - what I do now?

Hope your doing great !

It is nice to come across a leader . Food Industry is taking a rapid change in the last few years and there is a growing demand of proffesionals . This is because of the new technology and the ofcourse catering to the taste buds of ever demanding end users . I beleive the most benifited would be the recruitment agencies who can bridge the gap between the companies and the candidates .

I wish you all the best for your future endeavours !

Best Regards ,

Simon .
