I found this article to be short and sweet on 'what to say when your client wants to make an offer to your candidate'. Thanks to Gary Stauble's post on October 28, 2014 in Recruiter Training.…

Suppose you are determined to find someone’s email address. With the new LinkedIn InMail policy, some say, this may happen in their practice more often. The post below outlines top eight ways to figure that email address out, starting with a list of guesses.

Before we go there: as the creator of one of the most popular email-finding techniques …

Some recruiters message potential candidates on Facebook and find success in that. Perhaps it depends on the location and the type of a job, whether this would be seen as a good channel to strike a conversation on the receiving side; but it has never appealed to me. My own perception is that Facebook is a place for friends and not as much for business, with the exception of some business-related…

Following on from my comment on the Boolean Strings discussion 'List of LI geographical areas', further investigation seems to point to the fact that there are 272 active location codes between 16 and 950.

Here they are:

It is typically the case that a recruiter will find a good potential candidate on the internet but struggles to find any way of making direct contact with them. This is often the case when finding someone on LinkedIn where their contact details are not available.

In this video I talk about a number of different ways to make contact including how to message on LinkedIn for…

Linkedin seem to be making changes to the Public Profiles. They have recently released paid for Premium profiles however it seems that for may profiles, free and paid for, there is now a new format being rolled out. This has implications for Recruiters who use Google x-ray search to find profiles as the information and format is changing.

The new format is more than…

Evolution of Recruitment – The People Industry

Recruitment is a process of attracting, selecting and placing the right candidate for the right job at the given time and economy. It is highly admiring that a process has been successfully transforming for several decades and will continue to do so.  While researching about recruitment for more than a decade, I discovered that there is strong belief about…

I've created a new sourcing tools to help recruiters keep their finger on the pulse and find new vacancies and new client. It is on the home page of the Boolean Strings site. I've recorded a short video to show it off. Please try it out and let me know what you think.

If you go fishing in the ocean and don’t catch the particular species of fish you were hoping to, would you be able to assume that there were no fish of that type in the ocean that day? Of course not. Just because YOU didn’t catch the fish you were looking for, it doesn’t mean they weren’t there to be caught.

I firmly believe that candidate identification is the most critical step in the talent acquisition/recruiting life cycle – you can’t build a relationship with, receive a referral…

According to a recent Facebook blog post, “Half of employers (50 percent) are using Facebook in their hiring process. A majority (54 percent) already using the social network anticipates Facebook becoming a more important part of the talent acquisition process in the near future.”

Job candidates are also infusing their job search with Facebook activity. In a recent study conducted jointly by Facebook and Carnegie-Mellon University, results revealed that job seekers with strong ties…

I've recorded a very short video to show off a simple tool I put together very much inspired by work and blogs from Shane Bowen and Glen Gutmacher. I hope you like it. The tool is available on my blog www.intel-sw.com/blog

This year has been a rough one for fans of RSS. LinkedIn eliminated RSS feeds for groups in March. Twitter depreciated feeds in July breaking many hearts and blog widgets. Google Reader was shut down on July 1st followed by Google Alerts as they removed the option of RSS output. Public outcry was loud, but in the…
