Are Hairdressers Putting Your Recruitment Business at Risk?

Many recruitment leaders I work with want their recruitment CRM to generate fees, but often recruiters are all too happy to jump back into spreadsheets, LinkedIn, notebooks and “going by memory” rather than use their CRM system properly.

The above results in a nightmare for recruitment leaders who are looking to grow their business, become “GDPR-proof” and become more profitable in 2018.

How to Narrow Down Your Candidate Pool and Make the Right Hire

When hiring, getting a lot of applicants isn’t always a good thing. Some job seekers just blast resumes off for jobs they’re not entirely qualified for and hope for the best. The recruiting team then has to sort through them all to find the handful who have what it takes to do the job.

In an ideal world, professionals with the right background would be the only ones who apply.

What Questions Not to Ask Entry-Level Employees

Finding entry-level jobs is seemingly the most daunting activity for a fresh graduate. Armed with a degree, mostly theoretical knowledge and measured practical experience that in most real-life situations count for nothing. More to fret about if you took a gap year or more to explore other interests, now you feel like fish in fresh waters who’s lingered in the shallow end for far too long. All the more reason to dive in the deep, dark and frightful waters quickly but you’re unaware.

After a few more years, a mere online presence ceased to do the trick. The time had come for outstanding content, and the popular online “household” phrase ‘content is king’ emerged.

Today, the online space is characterized by cutthroat competition that compels businesses to look beyond content to get to professional writers, who in addition to authoring the content can provide value-added services such as developing a killer content strategy that attracts traffic and converts them into customers.

Don’t Be a Bad Recruiter: Common Hiring Mistakes to Avoid

Many professionals have a love-hate relationship with recruiters. The few people you end up hiring will hold you in a high regard. They’ll appreciate that you were impressed enough with their background to connect them with the hiring team and give them a chance to make their case for the job.
