I’ve been sourcing for a long time. Seventeen years, exclusively, on top of that when I was a generalist and full-life cycle recruiter. I will say I source, not stalk. I could stalk, but that’s creepy. Honestly, right now is my favorite time to source; it’s important to me personally to enjoy where I work and the clients I source for. My …
Here’s a tip for you, prospective job-seeker… grab a scratch pad and start describing your talents in terms of “innovation.” Look at your list. Now ask yourself this question— “Am I innovative?” If you are one of the 50% of Americans who do consider innovation/creativity as a strength, you could be selling yourself short if that competency is not readily apparent in your …
The world of HR blogging is messy, and the streets of the HR social world are littered with the decaying bodies of failed websites, broken media partnerships, and neglected conferences. This week, my friend Lars Schmidt is hosting the LinkedIn Talent Connect live stream. Lars is a recruiting nerd, tech geek, and ruthless entertainer. It should be fun. But before …
Sounds crazy right? You can keyword search LinkedIn. Why on earth would you find a list first and then go to LinkedIn? Or to any social profile site for that matter? I mean really, let’s be efficient, right? Let me explain, stay with me and you’ll see. Often you have limits on LinkedIn. Your first two “limits” are physical. You …
I live and breathe LinkedIn. Daily. I could be chief cheerleader if they were hiring one. Big fan… huge. For years I’ve prattled on to our team about relying on user-generated content and how we have to think about our candidates and how they think when they enter profile information into LinkedIn. Which is not always easy. One thing many …
A little over a year ago, Andy Headworth of Sirona Consulting, asked me if I’d contribute a section to his newest recruiting book, Social Media Recruitment: How to Successfully Integrate Social Media into Recruitment Strategy. I’ve “known” Andy for going on 7 years, he was one of my first Tweeps across the pond and someone I found to be excellent …
A little background here: I’ve been searching the Internet for candidates since the dark ages, aka 1997. I became a social media sourcing devotee in 2008 when I was researching how to leverage all of the new sites popping up on the horizon. When I left the vendor world and returned to sourcing for a retained search firm during the great …
I had the pleasure of being a gamification panelist on a Meridian (a great Learning Management System, check them out) L&D Hangout. Had a good time, take a view/listen below. Gamification and HR? Learn all the lessons you need to know from LinkedIn and Trivia Crack. Take a listen and we’ll tell you why on this Google Hangout! (Email subscribers, click …
Questions… I get questions… and in February it seemed like they were all about LinkedIn. Every time the site adds a feature, or even better, takes one away, it gets people stirred up. I don’t get stirred up, I just look to see if it’s impacting me and how. So let me share with you the questions I’ve gotten this …
Put down the book on FMLA and anything else remotely associated with administrivia in your organization. I’m going to point you to something that is probably more important than all of the ATS software reviews you’ve got planned after HRTech. As technology grows in influence (and maybe importance—I’m still not sold on that), you will be tempted to face in …
