One candidate you’re trying to place needs to improve her hygiene. Another didn’t get a position he was banking on to end months of unemployment. And a client has asked you to fill a position at a salary that is well below market rate. Being a staffing professional means delivering bad news — while maintaining good relationships with the candidates and clients who hear it.

It’s the time of year when individuals resolve to stop snacking and start exercising — and when forward-looking business owners and managers set goals for the coming year. Some goals may vary depending on the industry in which a firm works, the type of searches it performs, the size of the firm or other factors. For example, as 2012 dawns, some staffing firms are still struggling to work their way out of the recession — while others say business is booming.

Staffing professionals are all over the board as to whether Facebook has any relevance to their business. One will say nah it’s just for sharing pictures of the kids, another will say she finds her best candidates there. Personally I’ve recruited some of our top employees via relationships on Facebook, so my bias is to consider it an important business tool.

In case you missed it, the Economist’s feature story this week was on the rise of state capitalism.

The context of his statement was that of a private company, Siemens, that recruited a woman, Jackie Bray, paid for her training at a community college and then hired her full-time to take advantage of that training.

[new and improved!]. I’ve been noticing something deeply disturbing about the moral fabric, the guiding ethos, the savoir-vivre, the posed refinement of the new tech CEOs I meet. It’s this: far too many of them don’t grasp the value of arrogance. Instead, these guys – they’re mostly guys – indulge a most peculiar character flaw that some refer to in the contemporary context as extroversion.

It was about 24 years ago today that my dear wife informed me that of all the wonderful spots we had picked for her medical residency – San Francisco, Montreal, Saint Tropez (ok, that wasn’t a real choice) – it was Iowa that the medical school matching algorithm spat out for us. Not happy would be a mild way to describe my reaction. I’d driven south on 35W from Minneapolis to Iowa a few times.

So your staffing firm is the talk of the town. You have the best recruiters. The best candidate experience. The best assessments. So why aren’t you number one on Google?
