Anti-Social Recruiting

Posted at August 16, 2010

Although I’ve often joked about the concept of anti-social recruiting (as if there was anything other than “social” recruiting), anti-social recruiting does exist, and it is unknowingly practiced by many people and top companies as well.
Confused?
Allow me to explain.
“Social,” as defined by Merriam Webster, is “…the interaction of the individual and the group,” and “tending [...]

Having Trouble Attracting the Right Candidates?

Posted at July 27, 2010

While attending the Social Recruiting Summit in Minneapolis back in May, I made specific note of a common sentiment expressed by recruiting representatives of two social recruiting powerhouses – Best Buy and Facebook: They don’t have any trouble attracting people, but they do have a tough time attracting the right people.
Recruiters in attendance scoffed at [...]

How “Social Recruiting” Has NOT Changed Recruitment

Posted at July 6, 2010

I feel a moral obligation to weigh in on “social recruiting” again.
I’m not trying to be a buzzkill – but with the continuing swell of momentum and hype that social recruiting is building up, someone has to play the devil’s advocate, refuse to become a victim of BSO (Bright Shiny Object) syndrome, and jump off of [...]

What if You Only Had One Source to Find Candidates?

Posted at May 17, 2010

Imagine that you were just assigned a position to recruit for and that you needed to present 2 fully screened, highly qualified and well matched candidates within 5 business days.
Your manager/client is requesting candidates with:

3-5 years of related work experience (your choice – something not too vanilla/easy/common, but not ”purple squirrel” either)
Experience in a specific industry, and experience working in a similar [...]

Recruiting Pulse – Your Single Source for All Things Recruiting

Posted at April 12, 2010

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of sourcing, recruiting, social recruiting and HR blogs?
I know I am - a new recruiting blog seems to pop up almost daily!
So how can anyone possibly stay on top of all of them? Subscribing via email? Using an RSS reader?  
My initial approach to not missing a post from my favorite recruiting bloggers was to [...]

LinkedIn Network Connections: How Do You Measure Up?

Posted at March 10, 2010

You’re on LinkedIn – congratulations!
So, how big is your network?
Without going into a rant on quality vs. quantity (who says we can’t have BOTH?), let’s take a different angle on the size of your LinkedIn network…at your current company, where do you rank in terms of number of connections?
Do you know off the top of your head? [...]

Social Media and Recruiting – Beyond the Hype

Posted at January 18, 2010

I’m very much an anti-hype, anti-bandwagon person.
I neither like to nor want to get caught in the undertow of the emotional rush associated with being excited about something that nearly everyone else seems to be excited about, where everyone celebrates the new and “cool factor” with little-to-no critical thought.
When that next bright and shiny object comes along, it’s all too [...]
