Every week I get a request from a newbie to the recruitment industry asking for guidance on how to succeed. It’s a tricky one because it’s a bit like asking the meaning of life, or the secret to being a brilliant parent. There is no easy, short, answer. However, here is my best road-map for […].

By the time you’re doing a reference check, you’re attached. You have high hopes that the hours you’ve spent trying to fill your open role are about to pay off, and you’ll be devastated if a candidate’s references don’t give the glowing reviews you want to hear.

If you’re thinking “um…because I have to. What a stupid question,” this post is for you. Unless you don’t have to work, chances are you work because you have bills, rent, a family or some combination of the three. You probably don’t have the choice of whether or not you work, but you do have a choice to enjoy going to work or dreading it. What do you enjoy about your job?

Working from home, from a coworking space, or from a cozy cafe is the dream for so many employees. But remote work arrangements come with tradeoffs. Specifically, employees need to be strict in their time management, able to maintain focus, and willing to redefine boundaries to be as productive at home as they were in the office. This isn’t easy. And as a manager, you must keep an eye out for signs that an employee is struggling with a remote work arrangement.

You spent hours poring over your manager’s sourcing tips from your last 1:1, polled your friends to see which one of four recruiting emails they’d actually reply to, and even put holidays like National Cupcake Day (that’s today, by the way) on your calendar so you could have something to talk about in your LinkedIn messages. Still, your reach-outs must have an invisible “I’m not worth replying to” sign on them, because your response rate hovers at around 0%.

Yesterday, our CEO played us this TED Talk about a man who lost his legs in a climbing accident and proceeded to build himself new ones. One of his messages to the crowd was “a human being can never be broken, technology is broken. Technology is inadequate.” That is something we say here at HarQen often, that recruiting technology is broken. That we can do better.

In the second and third week of November, reminders to be thankful flood social media. But how many of us actually take time to be thankful? Gratitude is an incredibly powerful thing, so why is it we are only really encouraged to practice being grateful in November?
