Every recruiter has encountered the extremely frustrating situation when all their recruiting efforts are flushed down the tubes when the hiring manager changes his or her mind, goes in a different direction or simply doesn’t like the candidates presented. We are talking about people here, and any time people are involved, it gets messy. However, […]
Don’t Ignore the Silent Majority
This isn’t a blog about politics but one about the voice of your customer, and they are being drowned out by the minority voices. My degree is in marketing and much of my corporate career was spent in marketing. As I watch knee-jerk reactions of major corporations, I am dumb founded. Truly, I do not […]
F.I.T. is Important
If you have been to my website, heard me speak or worked with me, you know that I am all about the F.I.T. – Function, Integration and Training. As someone who has spent 20+ years in the talent management space, if you don’t’ care about the F.I.T., you will continue to lose the best people […]
Hiring the Right People Saves You Money
The employment market is absolutely insane right now. With all the government assistance, many people have zero incentive to work.
