Generational Profiling at Target?
So I inadvertently bought some patio furniture the other day. I went to Target for a water hose. One hour and one confrontation later, I walked out with a gorgeous patio set, but I had to fight to get it when it was mine to begin with.
I spotted the furniture from a mile away and [...]
It’s time to Gen Y-ify your Career Site
The purpose of a Career Site is to put your best foot forward and make a great first impression on talent. So why are so many companies throwing up a page that makes most of us want to scratch out our eyes because it’s so lame? Let’s discuss.
You have a career site that you direct [...]
Are Recruitment Sources out of control?
I guess it’s a good thing to have more than enough choices to choose from when trying to source candidates. But I’m not even a recruiter and I’m overwhelmed!
Being in the Recruitment Communications/Ad Agency field for 6 years, it was my job to make sure I recommended sources that would prove efficient for my client’s [...]
Recruitment Text Messaging…hmmm
Think about back to the days of why companies posted their ads in the newspaper. It’s because most everyone read the newspaper. Presently, think about why companies post their jobs online? Because most everyone use the Internet daily. So why use Mobile Media for recruitment? Because almost everyone owns a “mobile” phone.
Let’s face it. In [...]
What about UN-employment Branding?
Branding is an age old concept.
Coca-Cola’s first ad ran in 1895 stating, “Drink Coke”, Eastman Kodak’s first ad appeared in 1893 and Ford’s first branding campaign was introduced in 1907 with, “Watch the Ford’s go by.”

Especially [...]

Sales and Recruiting...kind of the same thing, no?
Sales is about providing products and/or services to people who need them. Targeting your advertising message to the right people will help you sell more. Simple enough, right? Wrong. It’s tough to know who needs your product before you speak with them. It’s hard to know what their personal preferences are before meeting them. To generate interest and the hope that the right people will respond to your advertising message, the seller will advertise and market the product’s capabilities, show you… Continue

Recruiters playing a role in retention?
What to do about "Serial Hiring Managers"?
If you are an internal recruiter, you know that these people exist. These 'managers' are the reason my friends and I have such great conversations about their current job.
Let's digress for a second:
Friends know they can come to me and ask me for advice on what to do about their current career issue. Maybe it's because they misinterpret what I do for a living, thinking I'm a headhunter, which I'm not but I don't mind acting as for them, or maybe it'… Continue
