MondayFunday: Leprechauns and Moms

ExactHire Recruiting

It’s been a busy spring for the ExactHire team, but we managed to fit in 2 MondayFunday events. March featured a cut-throat Nerf shootout (sounds violent, but I can assure you it was not), and April saw us channel our calm, creative, contemplative sides as we painted and decoupaged (?) picture frames for the mothers in our lives.

Think like an immigrant!

Greg Savage

Fear And Loathing Among Recruitment Leaders

The Whiteboard

I was fortunate enough to be involved in the RHUB Edge conference this week, which was focused (for a change) more towards the agency side of recruitment. There was not one single mention of some sourcing hack to squeeze a new Boolean string into some hitherto unheard of forum to coax out some purple unicorn IT developers, but plenty about productivity, lead generation, leadership, marketing and communicating.

Quickly Snaring Talent For Open Positions

ExactHire Recruiting

A snare is a rudimentary tool that was once popularly used to catch small game. To be successful, it requires two conditions to be met: It’s well built for the intended target.
