Recruiting Passive Candidates-Networking With LinkedIn for Great Referrals by Lou Adler - Jul, 2010 I’ve just written a recent companion piece on ERE (July 30, 2010) on my top ten favorite networking techniques for recruiting passive candidates. There were actually more than 20, but here are the next five. Caution: there are two prerequisites when using any of these techniques.

Only Five Interview Questions by Ford R. Myers - Jul, 2010 Of all the subjects we cover in career management and job search, the one that seems to cause clients the most anxiety is INTERVIEWING. To ease my clients’ concerns, I often simplify the topic by reducing it to a handful of basic elements. When you boil it all down, job interviews are made-up of only five statements from the interviewer, which include four questions and one sentence. Sure, you’ll be asked more than five que... |

Instant Gratification: For Leaders Who Want Results by Suzanne Bates - Jun, 2010 Rome wasn’t built in a day, but imagine if those Romans had had the internet. They would have loved it.

This becomes a huge waste of resources if you do this more than once. For example, if you’re hiring just one $60,000 C+ person instead of a B+ person, the net loss is $30,000-60,000 per year. If you’re hiring 1,000 peop... |

Letting Go of RIF-ed Off Rage: Survival Stages & Strategies for Soon-to-Be Terminated Employees by Mark Gorkin - Apr, 2010 One way I know that the economy is still in trouble is by speaking topic requests: a) recently I wrote about an after-dinner presentation on “Letting Go” for a career transition support group; to be tactful, many folks were “in between” jobs and b) two weeks ago I led a program on managing stress for county government employees who, due to budget cuts, have either been notified of a specific future termination date or know th... |

Identifying High Achievers by Examining Their Wake Effect by Lou Adler - Apr, 2010 High achievers leave a lot of evidence in their wake. As long as you know what you’re looking for, much of this can be easily found during the work history review portion of the formal interview or during the phone screen. Once you find it, you then need to determine if the person is a fit for the actual job available, and if the job offers a significant career move for your candidate. This takes a bit longer, but if it’s a... |
