In the car business, it can be difficult to get names of people. If I just had a name, I can easily stalk find people. I can call them at work and directly ask for them (pretending to be their girlfriend, sister, anything…) if I just had a name. I’ve been known to do some pretty sneaky things to get …
Ah, the internal executive search assignment—for some corporate recruiters, it’s the pinnacle of the talent acquisition world. Goodbye, days of customer service rep phone screens and hello, exploratory dinners and intriguing “meetings over drinks.” I think a bunch of talent acquisition pros dream of the day when they get the call to fill a senior VP or C level impact …
I hate the phone. In fact I could be the poster child for The New York Times “Don’t Call Me, I Won’t Call You“. The phone just cheeses me off – it’s one great big time suck. I will tweet with you, I will Facebook, I will Google chat. You can text me, you can email me but for the …
Need some Recruiting & Sourcing Juice to get you going these days? Feel like you’re connecting with lots of people in the Talent Pool, but they’re not yielding the information you’d like (referrals, intel, leads, “word on the street”, etc.)? Perhaps it’s time to step back and think about the structure of the Talent Pool itself . . . Before …
Let’s think about the title of this post for a moment, shall we? I’m not implying that CEOs shouldn’t be involved in selling – in fact, I think they should. What this rant really is about though is taking the road-less-traveled based on a conversation I recently had with a candidate. His CEO was the self-appointed (or annointed) go-to-sales-guy, and his actions negatively impacted the entire sales team …
I seem to be experiencing an onslaught of shady business practices from recruiting vendors of late. Maybe there’s a sign on my back that says “Kick me!” that I just don’t know about, or maybe some businesses are feeling desperate… but I thought I’d share a recent one for you to weigh in on. I am lucky enough in that …
We take a break from our normally scheduled programming here at Fistful of Talent to make a public service announcement of sorts. You see, the fine city of Bozeman, Montana needs a new Director of Human Resources. And we think they need some help filling the position. Full details of the position can be found here. Why take a break …
I googled the crap out of this but can’t find a single link that talks about talent management, recruiting or anything in the HR space that works like Pandora does for music. Maybe I’m all wet. Maybe I should have checked with Josh Letourneau. Maybe it’s a bagillion dollar idea that I’m giving away here but… Talent Management and Recruiting …
Guilty as charged – I have high self-esteem. I said high – not over-inflated. So shoot me now. Hell, I don’t have a choice – I run my own company, and kudos either come from within or they do not exist. Period. I have always been self-motivated and I push myself to achieve certain goals I establish in both my personal life and in business. …
Dear Corporate HR Friends, You know that tough job opening that’s been on your books a while now? The one with the hard-to-find skills and a hard-to-please hiring manager? Why haven’t you engaged an executive search firm yet? (Was it the mind-boggling cost? No definitive timeline for results? Uncertainty about getting any results? Or perhaps your last experience just didn’t …
