Let’s say you are out somewhere Tuesday night and meet someone interesting. You strike up a great conversation. The chemistry seems to be there and thoughts of future steamy scenes are running through your head. You say, “I’d love to get together with you” – they say “Sounds great, here’s my card, [...]

Have you ever been waiting on someone to arrive to meet you? Maybe at a coffee shop or pub after work? If so I’ll bet you know that feeling of paranoia – did they forget about me? Was setting up a date just an excuse to get me off the phone? [...]

During these first few weeks of January, I think we’ve all spent some time looking in that mirror at our nekkid beings, taking a critical eye to ourselves, and making some resolutions to change. Let’s just say the arrival of the TZ snack machine was not a good thing for the junk-in-the-truck. Some people [...]

Not too long ago, I was playing matchmaker (not professionally). I set up a girlfriend of mine with a male friend I’d known for a few years. It was hot-and-heavy for a couple months and they really seemed to be clicking. Then I heard from my girlfriend that maybe she was going [...]

When you are chasing a candidate, tell them all the exciting things that set yourself apart from your competitors or the ones they may be interviewing with. For example, here at [...]

I’m happy to be writing again after a brief summer hiatus to allow new ideas and analogies to to simmer while lounging by the pool. I am, in effect, back in the saddle.
Being that I continue to receive emails from readers about my dating analogies, it also seems like an appropriate time to renew [...]

As recruiters we build a strong rapport with the candidates as well as the clients. We call and check in with them, we prep them for interviews, we negotiate on their behalf, and we cross our fingers that they land that job they want. We are their cheerleaders, rooting them on from the [...]

It’s tough being Number 14, out of let’s say 15.  Yes that’s right - not No. 1, not No.5, not even No. 10.  But sometimes you are.  When a candidate hears about an opportunity with your group, they say "Who?" and the challenge begins from there.  One of the toughest conversations I have with our [...]
