Mark Toth takes on the hopelessness of love contracts. Does anyone have a different take? Excerpt: HR: Hello, Greg. Greg: Hello. HR: I heard you’re dating Marcia. Is that true? Greg: No, actually I’m dating Alice. HR: Oh, really? I thought Sam was dating Alice. [...]
The subject of today’s Five Question Friday, James Carchidi, came to our attention in a very organic and authentic way. Actually he came to my attention specifically, with an invitation to connect on LinkedIn, accompanied by this nice note: ”I really admire your articles in [...]
After a brief holiday hiatus, Five Question Friday is back. Every week we will check in with staffing professionals from across the country to find out what’s on their mind, and what’s driving their business. Today we are joined by Mike Frommelt, a Principal and Co-Founder of [...]
This marks the first installment of what will be a weekly series we are calling Five Question Friday. By that we mean we will be asking different HR, staffing and recruiting professionals from around the country the same five questions every week. The answers aren’t [...]
With more than 550 offices in three countries, the CEO of the world’s 11th largest privately-held staffing company says it’s one thing to take revenue from the communities in which they do business, but giving back is equally important. “It’s not how much you take; [...]
The wallets of millions of Americans might be slimmer these days, but their waistlines certainly aren’t. What can we do about it, and what should we do about it? Can we pass new laws? Should we not hire - or fire – someone who is [...]
Talk about institutionalizing a wrongheaded idea. A new twist in hiring, as seen on both job boards and in online job postings by employers, is that candidates must be employed to apply for an open position. This from a major job board: “If you are [...]
I have an ongoing dialogue with a friend of mine, Lars Leafblad, around such topics as interviewing and finding top talent. He is an open, engaging and inquisitive person by nature, and his position as principal at a retained executive search firm gives him plenty [...]
When I first met TempWorks founder and CEO Gregg Dourgarian it was to discuss Staffing Talk and his reasons for wanting to put some more resources into it. “I don’t want to just be in the staffing software and payroll funding business,” he said, “I [...]
Some people are apparently still putting $199 on their credit cards to become “contract associate recruiters” for HRP Hospital Recruiting Partners in Plaistow, New Hamsphire. And those same people, who haven’t been doing any due diligence, are telling us they aren’t getting what they paid [...]
I recently did something I haven’t done in a long, long time. I applied for a position at a Fortune 500 company…online. And I actually received a prompt response. Yea me. Okay, let’s back up for a just a moment. This wasn’t for a full-time [...]
This was sent to me by an anonymous job seeker. Apparently he had seen one too many staffing commercials on YouTube and didn’t understand why the application process seemed to be so much work for him. He said he wanted a way to write an [...]
We know instantly when somebody has it. And we know when somebody doesn’t. Our brains are programmed to pay attention to whatever someone with command presence says or does. It does not matter much if this person is your doctor, plumber, teacher, or president. Chances [...]
Fox News recently released a poll stating that if President Obama was a CEO at a Fortune 500 company he would have been fired by his board of directors by now. I get that President Obama’s approval ratings are not good, but is being president [...]
You help people get jobs, right? Most of us are comfortable with the notion of finding jobs, posting jobs, finding the right people to fill particular jobs and so on. What if that notion is outdated and antiquated? And if it is, as many think, [...]
Is our language rich enough to describe human talent? Could staffing, recruiting and HR people benefit from a common language that accurately describes each of us using standardized, universally recognized words and terms? As someone who makes his living with words, I am rarely at [...]
I was recently talking about the years I spent as an entertainment reporter with an acquaintance of mine who happens to run an executive search company. He asked me who my favorite interview was, and when I told him, I realized the answer is worth [...]
We couldn’t help but notice how several online job seekers have been wondering if HRP Staffing, which claims to be a staffing firm for healthcare professionals and operates from Plaistow, NH, is legitimate. The website for HRP (which stands for Hospital Recruiting Partners) appears fairly [...]
Atrium Staffing vs. Manpower. [CNN Money] Workers can’t sit out of office politics game. [Life INC.] SourceRight Solutions appoints Karen Turner as Vice President of Product Development and Strategy. [MarketWatch] Steve Sossamon joins HastonWilliams as Executive Search Partner. [PR] US labor agency cites Hershey distribution [...]
Wouldn’t it be great to get a call from someone who wants you? An employer who invites you to leave your present career position and go work for them? It’s fun to do the recruiting, but it would also be nice to be the one [...]
Whether you’re pitching your services to a potential client or coaching a candidate on interview strategies, your interviewer will likely get very similar plugs from your competitors. To rise above the noise, you need to make what you say more memorable than all the other [...]
Mark Toth takes on the hopelessness of love contracts. Does anyone have a different take? Excerpt: HR: Hello, Greg. Greg: Hello. HR: I heard you’re dating Marcia. Is that true? Greg: No, actually I’m dating Alice. HR: Oh, really? I thought Sam was dating Alice. [...]
Let me start by contradicting myself – our government is really good at creating jobs. Confused? Consider this fact – the Office of Personnel Management reports that since the start of the recession the Federal Government has added 275,000 new jobs to the Federal payroll, [...]
