The Recruiters Lounge How NOT to Post Your Resume on Craigslist
I was searching through the resumes posted on Craigslist today to find candidates for a sales position we have available. I found some pretty pathetic attempts from job seekers looking for jobs, so I thought I’d share in the hopes that you won’t make the same mistakes these people are making, just in the headlines alone! Some of the top resume mistakes are covered in my free report and in my book. Bad headline #1: “Seeking Work” Similar bad headlines: “Looking for...

The Recruiters Lounge Where are the Recruiter jobs?
I get phonecalls (a lot of calls and tweets, but mostly emails) from Recruiters looking for opportunities. As everyone knows, its not too pretty out there. Well, I wanted to give an assist where I can so I decided to do a bit of research. This is by NO MEANS a scientific survey, just a bit of a glance at the Recruiting job market. All my data comes from one of my favorite websites – Indeed.com. (Maybe after reading this post you will see why.) The first thing I wanted to do was confirm the...

Hire Strategies Where'd all the sherpa's go?
I stormed off ahead on the basis of being told "It will be like drinking from a fire hose" and along comes Independence Day.  Having got to a crux move and turned around to check for the right gear I find they all be partying.  To be fair, they have worked damn hard to get this far BUT my pace is dictated by them and due to my impending divorce from Salesforce the pace is not quite as quick as I need.  They also have a lot of people on the mountain to look after so...

Cheezhead a new (and free) split-fee network launches

Cheezhead bing to integrate twitter into search results
For the day leading into a holiday weekend, there is a lot of linky goodness out there: Microsoft Adds Some Twitter Updates to Bing Search - In a nod to the increasing importance of real-time search, Microsoft has started adding Twitter updates to its Bing search engine. Google News Drops Controversial Comments Feature - Predictions stating “the comments section is likely to be larded with spin, hype and obfuscation” were unfounded. A lack of commentary likely killed this beast. How...

The Recruiters Lounge Understanding Cultural Dynamics and Cross-Cultural Communication
Introduction We each belong to an entire collection of cultures, which includes, national cultures, subcultures (based on regions, tribes etc), organizational or corporate cultures, industry cultures, professional or functional cultures. For that reason, culture can be defined as a shared system of values, beliefs, and attitudes. It affects our own actions and the way we distinguish the actions of others. Culture is not a product of a single individual’s personality, nor does it usually change...

Hire Strategies U gotta luv ur ATS
Because it is a "she" and we all know what happens if we don't love her!  Here are a few traits that I base my view on. They ALL look great at the beauty parade. The better they look the less sense they make when they speak.  You have to change how you work to suit them.  They appear low cost when you first start out but just become more costlier the longer you have them.  To get out of your "agreement" costs a small fortune; even if you are right.  It's...

Marenated Treat your job search like a. . .job search
There’ve been a few (very good) posts floating around lately about how to treat your job search: like a wedding (I would never do this because then my mother would be intimately involved in my job search and that is no bueno) like a marathon (This is a no-brainer, marathons are very hard and very long and involve spandex. Who besides Lance Armstrong wears spandex?) like an advertising campaign (who’s paying for all this anyway?) like it’s yogurt (wait, lemme guess, get some culture?) like...
