Where Executive Recruiters excel is in finding the best candidate for the position vs. the most available one. A good Recruiter should not blanket their client with resumes. No. They should earn their fee by taking that stack of resumes and doing their job; which is to find the best fit for their employers' culture who has the required skill set. Far too many people in the industry call themselves Recruiters but lack the specific skill sets that distinguish the real pros. The remarkable thing is any HR department, or person who finds themselves saddled with recruiting responsibilities can gain those skill sets and strategies with training. If you find yourself with a stack of resumes, my advice is...

Who could this possibly be? Is it a telemarketer? Did I forget to pay a bill? Worse yet, what if it is one of those dreaded headhunters? Panic sets in. You don't take the call. At this point you don...

Sometimes it's just a matter of matching up the right employer with the right employee: so in a sense, employment agencies are career matchmakers. But do employment agencies really help? Here are some answers. Companies that are seeking to hire give a skill set profile to an employment agency, and it is the recruiter's job to find a good match.

Houston, Texas - When Rob Gladstone started recruiting in 1994, the old style relationship building philosphy had yet to give way to the frenetic search engine hunt for RESUME, RESUME, RESUME that often leads today's recruiter to submit 20 resumes where they would once submit three. Now, recruiters increasingly find themselves under pressure from job boards, like monster.com, Career Builder and Yahoo Hot Jobs. Most even flood those sites with their own postings, even though the clients also have those same postings there. Recruiters spend their day combing through the thousands of resumes listed on those same job sites. Candidates also visit, of course,as well as going directly tocompany web sites...

Since so much has been written about how to go about finding a PR agency, I thought it timely to examine the process from my perspective - a consultant who is also a PR headhunter. Throughout the U.S. there are thousands of PR firms of all sizes who claim to specialize in dozens of different specialty categories. As the person designated within your company to identify and hire a PR firm, where do you start? What do you look for? How much should you pay? What characteristics of the PR firm differentiates it from others - and are those differences important to your company? What size firm should you hire? What about account conflicts? Is the firm's location important? Who's going to work on your...

Third-party recruiters have a huge competitive advantage over their corporate recruiter rivals. For one thing, they can cherry-pick their assignments and thus don't have nearly as many assignments to work on. For another, they can market their best candidates to multiple clients. In many cases this allows them to present high potential candidates with comparable, but not identical, experience. Retained recruiters also have open access to their hiring managers, spend a great deal of time understanding real job needs up front, and 100% of their candidates are interviewed. Of course, since there's a fee involved, their candidates are put under the microscope, and repeat business is a function of how...

Can you relate to this common sales organization predicament? Six months ago you promoted "Bob," an outstanding sales rep who has great skills and the respect of the entire sales team to be a sales manager. Today, Bob is busier than ever - out on the road with the other reps, helping to close their deals. The new sales rep hired to replace Bob is struggling, generating less revenue than Bob made in the role. The rest of the sales team is producing about the same numbers they were six months ago making the net result of the promotion a loss because no one is replacing the revenue Bob brought in as an individual contributor. This is a tale as old as time - or at least as old as cold calling...

If you have ever made use of the services of a recruiter you will realize how much work actually goes into finding the right job for the right candidate.

For those people too busy to search for recruits and for those would be employees without the resources to search for jobs...

I find it interesting that when I search the internet for articles on sales the focus is generally on the sales person and not the manager. I do appreciate the importance for sales people to improve their sales skills but who is improving the manager? Let's look at what I believe are the top 10 sales manager mistakes: 1. The Sales Manager/Account Rep who has to wear two hats. To be a successful sales manager you must be a manager of your people and focused on their success. If they succeed, you succeed. Give up the account rep role even if it is a plum account. You can still be involved with the account but you should be there to support or help close for your rep. 2. The Let Me Sell Sales Manager...

There are few decisions more critical for a company than the hiring of the leadership of their sales organization. Yet, few know how to do it well. Many err and "promote" their best seller to a sales management position. Why this is called a promotion is beyond me. The job of the sales manager is vastly different than that of a sales person, so why is this considered employment elevation? Often times, sales managers earn less than the top sales people. Promotion? Some sales people make the transition successfully, but many struggle with the change. Sometimes, it is a mismatch of the person to the role. However, more frequently, the struggle is caused by the lack of recognition by the company that...
