We are a fortunate [tag]recruiting firm[/tag] in that our clients often count on us to fill multiple positions simultaneously. It may be a matter of winning some new business and now they have a whole team to assemble. Or, perhaps it just works out that they need a [tag]Media Director[/tag], an [tag]AE[/tag], and a [tag]Traffic [...]

I have [tag]candidates[/tag] who try to make huge decisions about potential job opportunities in the first 5 seconds of hearing about the job. They aren’t sure if they want to move to North Carolina or they aren’t completely up-to-speed on a particular account. And then they decline being submitted for that opportunity. It doesn’t make [...]

When Susie Q comes in and sits down in the conference room to interview for that [tag]Account Supervisor[/tag] role, she is very nervous. She spent yesterday going through her closet to find the right outfit for this little chat. She wanted to project that she’s confident and capable, but not too stuffy. At the last [...]

If I were to go back and make a list of ex-boyfriends (we’re talking way back here), there would be a few common threads. Some may say it was their penchant for marijuana. Others might note the lack of many personal items like, say, a car or any furniture other than a mattress on the [...]

It’s no news to any of you who recruit for a living that [tag]time kills[/tag] all deals. We all know it. It is the mantra for recruiters. Why is it then that we still spend so much time explaining this concept and reiterating it to [tag]hiring managers[/tag]?
Chances are, if you are really interested in that [...]

I recently had a birthday.  I won’t say which [tag]birthday[/tag] that was.  But it was indeed, a celebration of yet another year under my belt.  So, like any thoughtful person, I paused for some reflective thought:
1. Will this be the year I stop eating spoonfuls of Cream Cheese frosting right out of the Betty Crocker [...]

There’s no substitute for an in depth conversation with you about what kind of [tag]candidate[/tag] you’re really looking for. I’d like to know what kind of [tag]personality[/tag] fits into your agency. I’d like to know what sort of questions you’d like me to ask and what sort of answers you’re looking to get back. There’s [...]

Earlier this week, we spoke with a [tag]new client[/tag] who is looking to do some housecleaning and fill some [tag]vacant spots[/tag] with some new blood.  This agency has some new leadership and is hoping to go from a well-known local agency to more of a national player.
Instead of working with HR, we were out in [...]

After a month of working on a particular search, I was told this week that the position I slaved over for Agency X has not been “approved” by the client.
Ok, wait, let me get this straight…
You asked me to find people.
I found them. I stayed late. I yanked them from current jobs. [...]

Each and every time I am presented with an opportunity to begin a new candidate search for an agency, I tell the person I’m working with one very important thing: “The more specific and more immediate feedback you can give me, the better.”
Over the course of the past three weeks, I have been submitting [...]
