05/01/2012by Morgan Hoogvelt This week, I had the pleasure of receiving some feedback from two candidates who recently completed the hiring process, each with a different end result with our organization.

Read moreTop 10 Dumbest Things Recruiters Do: And the Winner Is …
16/12/2011by John Sullivan and Laureen Edmiston Several weeks ago ere.net published an article that asked the question “what are the dumbest things that recruiters do.” After surveying recruiters on ere.net, Twitter, and at the recent SMA symposium in Seattle, it is clear that most feel the dumbest thing recruiters do is… Not managing the candidate experience — the candidate experience is the perception...
Read moreHow to Balance Recruitment with Generalist Duties
15/12/2011HR Generalists are typically engaged in many small and medium sized businesses. This is because the HR team is relatively small and if the team were to segment themselves into recruitment or compensation components alone in such an environment, it would severely compromise team flexibility and continuity. The HR Generalist is therefore an especially challenging multidisciplinary role, in which...
Read moreWhere Do I Go From Here? Agency versus Corporate Recruiting
14/12/2011Like most people out there, sometimes Recruiters are looking for a change themselves. It can come upon us slowly with a build-up of frustrations. It can come upon us suddenly out of a simple desire for change. Or still like others, it can come upon us when we are presented with an opportunity we weren’t quite looking for. So now you have to make a choice…are you an Agency Recruiter or a Cor...
Read moreCorporate Recruiter or Head Hunter?
13/12/2011The lines are getting blurred. Targets are being moved. Job titles are getting more and more, well… stupid. Corporate recruiting departments have certainly evolved over the past ten years. Departments that were once bastions of generalist HR malaise are now specialized talent acquisition departments that hire and pull from the same recruiting talent pool as recruitment agencies. In the fight t...

12/12/2011By Steve Racz SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES REDUCE TURNOVER COSTS AND HIRE THE BEST PEOPLE BY KEEPING THESE FUNCTIONS SEPARATE The Information Age has begun to shift corporate thinking toward the notion that people, rather than what a company produces/owns, are the catalysts of its competitiveness. Every day you hear the term “human capital,” and insightful executives are beginning to real...
Read moreSorry guys… women are better recruiters than men
09/12/2011By Greg Savage Yes, that’s right. Generally, women in recruitment do a better job… and make more money. I have been a recruiter for 30 years. Hired and trained thousands of them. Owned and run recruiting businesses in more than 20 countries. I should think I have worked with and against many of the best recruiters on the planet. So I have a bit of a sample to judge from. Not every woman. Not ev...
Read moreBeing a recruiter rocks!
08/12/2011by Greg Savage I love being a recruiter. Seriously, I think it’s the best job in the world.Yet 80% of people who enter this industry, fail in the first 2 years, leave, and are never sighted again.And it’s true, it is tough being a recruiter. And I believe in the modern era it’s getting even harder. During the downturn it got even worse. We all worked harder and harder, and earned less and less...
Read moreStressed recruiter? Take a chill-pill
07/12/2011By Greg Savage Stress at work is dangerous. Seriously. I believe it leads to medical issues, and it certainly will harm your relationships and overall quality of life. And that is bad for us recruiters because we do one of the toughest jobs around. The ‘all or nothing’ nature of what we do is designed to induce stress, it seems. Over the years I have seen recruiters reduced to highly destruct...
Read moreTerminology Question. What is the right word for “searching for professional profiles”?
06/12/2011By Irina Shamaeva I am a Sourcer and do hourly sourcing (as well as full-cycle recruiting); I also write about sourcing and give lectures on sourcing. However, I keep being unsatisfied about the terminology. 1. We call a Sourcer a person that mines the Internet for “talent” (and perhaps uses the phone, email, and other ways of communication). However, the word sourcing has so ma...

05/12/2011By Lance Haun Director of Fun. That was the title I was looking at on a resume for a marketing director position. As I read through the applicant’s accomplishments and responsibilities, I could see that it was clearly a marketing-type position. It stuck out, just not in a good way. What may have seemed like a great little thing to have on a business card as an attention-getter had now turned in...
Read more“God, I hate recruiters!”
02/12/2011By Greg Savage This little incident happened just the other day. It was Sunday, so I was not in work mode at all. In fact I was watching my son trial for a Sydney Representative cricket team, and my mind was on him bowling fast and batting straight. On the side of the field, the mums and dads congregated, and the usual banter was flying fast and furious, when one of the guys turned to me an...
Read moreUnderstand what differentiates generations
01/12/2011by Michael Kirsten Twenty-plus years ago, when you asked someone what they did for a living, they told you where they worked. Today, they tell you what they do. The next generation of employees is wired, connected, plugged-in, and empowered, and this psychographic change across a generation has significant implications for recruitment. For younger generations (Gen X and much more so for Gen Y ...

Read moreThe Impact of Poor Recruiting – Candidates vs. Customers
28/11/2011By Simon Parkin One of my biggest complaints about recruiting is the lack of respect given to candidates throughout a recruitment process. Whether it is from the lack of candidate respect by the behaviour of a poor recruiter or an unengaged hiring leader who fails to realize the importance of good recruiting, or simply from an overall poorly constructed recruiting process of an organization, 9...

Read moreLeaders VS Managers!!
22/11/2011By Dean Da Costa Recently I was asked by a fellow professional what is the difference between a leader and a manager. I thought long and hard about it, and came to several realizations. Now keep in mind my point of reference for this is based on my 12+ years in the military, which includes during war time, and my 15+ years amongst the professional ranks. For one you can be a manager but not m...
Read moreRecruiters, toughen the f*** up!
19/11/2011By Greg Savage, recruiter Most people who become recruiters do not last. There are many reasons for that. Poor hiring decisions and inadequate training being high on the list. But there is another key reason why so few people actually last in the hurly-burly world of agency recruiting. It’s a frigging hard job! So I know that sometimes you question why you do it. There are times you hate ...
