Dec 5, 2024Let’s hop in the Hot Tub Time Machine and return to when recruiters were partying like it’s 1999, right before Y2K. If you were a recruiter back then, you might recognize some of these dinosaurs: computerjobs.com, hotjobs.com, and headhunter.net. Back in the day, job postings had salary ranges on these job boards. It was standard practice. Recruiters wanted candidates to apply, and salary ranges made job postings more compelling. But as the world turned, so did the job market.

Recruiters, I want you to stop what you’re doing, focus here for a moment, and read this. I’m just going to say it: it’s time to rethink the CRM. I recently attended an invite-only demo of LinkedIn’s latest AI tool, the Hiring Assistant, and it can do just about everything—short of cleaning windows.

Oct 31, 2024There’s a little too much scary out there today. Dark-fiction scary. Big-picture scary. Every day down the street and around the world, it’s scary. Even the workplace isn’t spared. Despite low unemployment and strong economies, like here in the U.S., job insecurity and terrible candidate experiences still seem to be rising from graveyards like zombies. Let’s shed some light on those fragile yet hopeful flowers between those graves (Yikes! Even though that image is gruesome).

As I made my way to the local pharmacy on a crisp Manhattan evening in late October, I saw a good many ghouls, vampires, and zombies on the sidewalk. While Halloween was still a few days off – the parties would seem to have begun. Soon, I was perusing the items in the candy aisle, and I was struck by the labels on these “food” items for the soon-to-be visiting trick-or-treaters.

Oct 18, 2024What’s scarier than those zombie movies running nonstop in October? The massive surge of fractional, part-time, and temporary work that’s taking over the U.S. job market.
