Everyone knows if your company has a pulse you’re hiring. Job boards and social media are gushing with “We’re Hiring” notices. Now brace yourself. The demand for specialized talent is going to get a lot worse starting in 2018. And if you’re a micro-brand, you’ll want to avoid getting crushed in the stampede for new hires.

Why is 2018 a key marker? Because employers, especially the big-brands, have been handed the single largest corporate tax break in years, in an already hot job market. If you’ve been paying attention, you may have noticed top CEO’s making proclamations of sweeping pay increases and putting the pedal to the metal on their recruiting budgets. Not only that, immigration reforms continue to tighten imported labor sources and for the first time in quite a while, worldwide markets and foreign economies are surging in unison. So they’ll be working harder to retain talent inside their own borders.

As if the demand for experienced talent wasn’t already overheated, these converging factors will put even more pressure on smaller brands. (more…)

If you are currently a recruiter and you’re worried about your future … I agree, you should be.

Consider a future as a recruiter where sourcing is gone, and so is resume screening and candidate assessment. All that is left for recruiter to do is related to selling candidates, which unfortunately, is something that most corporate recruiters do not excel at.

This shift is occurring partially because recruiting has been a “soft” field since its inception. But finally, recruiting is beginning to follow the pattern that proved so successful in the past on the business side of the enterprise in areas like CRM, marketing, and sales. Recruiting is now finally beginning the inevitable shift to a hard scientific approach, where database decision-making and software technology will literally take over most of the roles currently held by human recruiters.

Monsters

by StarCrewZ

In 1994 Monster.com started operations in Maynard Massachusetts, beginning a revolution in online access to jobs all over the world. Their website currently lists over 800,000 jobs in the US by their own count. With over 12% reach into the online job shoppers market, they have captured twice the market share of their closest competitor CareerBuilder.com and YahooJobs.com. With point-and-shoot access for resume submission to most available jobs, you would think the chance for landing your dream job couldn’t be better.

However, many jobs seekers are being “virtually” trampled by a mad rush on the choice positions.

The Monsters of online job search have created tremendous opportunity for career advancement. At the same time, they have created a growing problem not only for those seeking employment, but also for the companies who use job search engines to drive candidates to their door. They have created a monster of a different kind and it’s getting bigger and uglier.

We talk to candidates and Human Resource departments every day in our business. Candidates complain that they send out lots of resumes, but get fewer calls back and when they do get called for an interview, they feel they are being treated more and more like a commodity. They describe it being like a cattle-call, with frustration and disappointment becoming the norm. (more…)

The first vital step to growing a business is putting the right people in the right places –  when you need them. That sounds so simple in theory and yet it is one of the biggest challenges facing all businesses today!

“Only a handful of companies understand that all successful business operations come down to three basic principles: People > Product > Profit! Without top people, you cannot do much with the other two.” — Malcolm Forbes

 There is no one who knows exactly who you need, why you need them and when you need them better than yourself. If you could simply reach out and touch the people you want, all your problems would be solved. If you can’t do that, you need us. It’s that simple.

As a firm we specialize in client-side representation. We work with you to identify the people you need and we reach out for you – to present your unique opportunity to the very best the present talent market has to offer you. Not everyone will come. But we will bring you the best that do and ensure that if you invest the time to interview them, you can come away with an important and exciting hire.

You have many recruiting companies you can choose from. They all tell you they will recruit the people you need. Why choose us? Most recruiting companies are contingency recruiting companies. They are best used when you have the luxury of time to wait for the right candidate to come along. You will pay them a fee only if you hire a candidate from them. They can only afford to spend the time to recruit for marketable companies who have the usual needs. They need to make quick placements to survive. They cannot afford to do what you need them to do most and that is to stay on task for you long enough to fill the key positions with the best people you don’t have time to wait for.
