Remember when you were single and the amount of time you took make yourself look good? It was all like the gym, a shower and some cold brews with the crew on the weekends. Your plans were simple then and you took time to keep yourself in shape.

Posting a good job description is lot a [...]

I recently witnessed several spit takes in one meeting when the boss delivered news of a hiring slowdown. IT Recruiters are so freaking frustrated right now, they could easily drop kick an innocent pimply face recruiting intern. Yeah, sure some jobs are being canceled and plenty of recruiters are mumbling what they are going to [...]

Recruiters know that the client always comes first, but that is changing. Candidates are becoming more important than the client. In the past, recruiters always focused on the client needs and ditched candidates that didn’t pan out.
Today, IT companies are in a hiring frenzy. But finding candidates has been tough. Businesses have not changed how [...]

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 [...]

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. Then it was slathered in BBQ Sauce, and eaten between a spongy sandwich bun. Whenever the sandwich made [...]

Every Recruiter wants an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that is not slow, and not too cumbersome. But truthfully, Recruiters want an ATS that knows where and when to post jobs or refresh them, what resumes to upload, and to automatically generate reports.
What Recruiters really want is Predictive Analytics within their Applicant Tracking System.
Ever bought a [...]

It’s a dog eat dog world right now for job boards and some are resorting to crafty shenanigans to attract job seekers.
Here’s how it works.
The Recruiter posts a job to Monster.com, and then rogue-predator type websites repost it to their site. Your job is like a Venus Fly Trap. Job seekers are lured to another [...]

When I got into IT recruiting 10 year ago nerds frustrated the hell out of me. I called them. They never call me back. I called again and again. No return calls. And, you know why? I never gave them a reason to call me back.
Candidates typically use their mobile number on resumes and they [...]

It is a free and a paid site that lets you create databases with ease. It has drag and drop formatting, good instructions, and makes putting together reports a snap. Infodome [...]

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 [...]

Selected, rejected and ejected. That’s the wash cycle Recruiters use on their candidates. But what I’m about to tell you is extremely important. So important, that it’s the very root cause why 99.99999% of all candidates despise Recruiters. It’s the very same reason you hate your Ex (all mine live in Texas), the same reason [...]

This is a recent comment from a friend of mine over at ERE. He makes a good point about the Recruitment Process Outsourcing business.
Do any of the larger RPO companies really make money? So many of them seem to have very thin margins, lose money on every deal, and then seem to think they can [...]

If you are a Recruiter who uses Twitter then you have a lot to be excited these days. Companies are turning towards Social Media  to help cut costs. TwitJobSearch, a Twitter-based real-time job search engine, has partnered with TweetDeck to launch JobDeck.
JobDeck application indexes recruitment related tweets from across the Twittersphere, much like TwitJobSearch.
Recruiters can [...]

The break room Microwave is crusty and infused with a multitude of odors. It never gets cleaned and it’s probably 10 years old. You stand close enough to a break room microwave, you can get a tan and curl your hair.
So that is why I’m moving away from traditional microwave methods. I am promoting the [...]

If you had a job this year you weren’t so lucky after all. If you did NOT have a job you probably played tennis, golf and did a lot of blogging, tweeting and other fun social stuff.

So here is the deal. For those of us that had to work like 80 hours a week, were [...]

What’s in a posse? I tell you what’s in your posse. Your face! Yeah, your face. Everywhere you go, you need a posse. It’s not just a gang either. It’s a body of work, a brand, and a company.
I’m serious here.
You can look like a total dweeb attending Conferences, Meetups and Corporate Events if [...]

 
Remember college? Or maybe you can’t. You slept all day and partied all night. You had zero accountability except making good grades. Then you got a job, spouse, house and kids. And then, Boom! You’re responsible for a lot of things, pal. Like a mortgage, college and keeping your job.
Accountability, it’s the word of the [...]
