Introducing: OnDemand Recruiting™

Proactive Talent

We’ve all had these weeks. the Head of Engineering comes strolling by the Talent Acquisition team one fine Monday morning and nonchalantly says, “Hey team, we are planning for the build out of a new product and need to hire 20 engineers and 7 technical architects over the next 3 months.” Oh no! We know two things: we don’t have those candidates in the pipeline and our team can’t handle that kind of volume on short notice.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

What NBC’s Olympic Coverage Can Teach You About Recruiting

Hoops

The Rio Olympics took place in front of 78,000 live spectators and was watched by well over 33.4 million viewers on NBC.

The Farce of Verbal Reference Checking

The Whiteboard

I flew to England last weekend on something of a busman’s holiday that, when factoring in the unscheduled landing in Bali to jettison a sick child and consequent rush through Dubai airport to make the connecting flight, was pretty much 28 hours on a plane.
