In what seems like the dark ages of social media, circa 2008, when I was training recruiters and sourcers on how to not only find people but engage in social media, it seemed like the phrase I said most was something akin to “Everyone can see what you post, so think before you post.” These days, that’s said by everyone. …
I interviewed a candidate yesterday for a Social Media Coordinator role on my team and one of the questions I asked was around how she approaches identifying content to share on social. Her response was spot on. In her current role, she was tasked defining her recruitment social media content strategy and instead of pushing her own agenda, she asked …
Recruiting is never easy, but for some reason, many talent acquisition professionals make it somehow much harder than it really needs to be. The fact that recruiters inherently work in silos and are largely forced to figure out the intricacies of talent sourcing and screening independently means that we tend to all make the same mistakes. For the most part, …
Seems like everyone is due for a year of yes. Shonda Rimes had one and she’s ridiculously creative and successful. Bethenny Frankel decided to come from A Place of Yes a few years back. I decided at the beginning of 2016 that it was time for me to have a year of yes. Why? Let me backtrack for you. 2 1/2 …
Marketing is changing talent acquisition forever. It wasn’t long ago that most Talent Acquisition leaders had a conceited belief that candidates wanted to come to work for their great organizations.

I’ve been around youth athletics for almost twenty years. All of my sons have been involved in various sports and travel teams. I was first exposed to youth travel sports about 12 years ago when another Dad approached me at some silly local youth baseball game. The kids could have cared less about the game—they only wanted to know where we …
January 1st. My gym is packed. Brand new workout gear is on display. There’s a line for the adduction lever machine. Fitness resolutions are certainly worthy, but, like most well-intentioned resolutions, are hard to keep without help. You’ve also probably got some HR resolutions on your list. Why not kill two birds… and forget the gym! Here are three ways …
Thanksgiving is just as much about gratitude as it is about tradition, football, and turkey. On a personal level, I am grateful my health, financial security, family and freedom. On a professional level, I am truly grateful for – and in awe of – the uptick in generosity in the recruiting and employment branding community this year, and wanted to …
I love my ATS. It’s iCIMS. They should send me a t-shirt that says I “heart” iCIMS… just like those I “heart” NY shirts. I’d wear it. All the time. And I’ve got a conference gig coming up so (hint, hint) now’s a good time to send it. Seriously big fan… a couple of years ago I stalked their booth at …
Straight Outta Compton, the musical biopic about hip-hop group N.W.A, opened two weeks ago to the tune of $60.2M in box office sales, steamrolling their initial $40M projections.

For most of August, social media streams have been plastered with ‘Straight Outta…’ memes …
