'Who am I to tell you how you can describe yourself? Nobody. So ignore me at your leisure. On the other hand, I can tell you for free that the words you use in your résumé, your LinkedIn profile, your Twitter bio, your cover letter, and in spoken language, create a response in the reader, […].

'We’ve been dispensing a lot of CV and résumé advice over the last couple of weeks, mainly because we believe that better CVs benefit everybody. I think it’s fair to say that as recruiters we’ve seen our fair share of badly written, hideous looking and just down right awful CVs sent to us by hopeful candidates, in our time. But on the flip side we’ve all also seen at least one immaculate, easy to read, visually pleasing, gem of a CV that was a pleasure to read and resulted in us making a g

'As independent recruiters, it is difficult to keep up with the rapidly changing industry and not get caught up in the standard pitfalls that come with the territory. In order to stay ahead of the competition, it is easy to make promises you can not necessarily keep, take on more than you can possibly handle, or let those tasks on your list fall off without completion.

'Entry level jobs can be especially tricky to recruit for. Unlike recruiting for roles that have a more seasoned candidate base, hiring managers often have to read between the lines and determine if a candidate will be successful based off limited work experience and how the candidate presents themselves in the interview process. Because of this, knowing what to ask the candidate during the interview is integral to a successful hire.

'Somewhere along the line, recruiting technology became ‘self-aware’, allowing organizations to mindlessly post all of their jobs to job boards globally, big and small. It was in the late 90’s and it was pegged as the solution to our sourcing challenges. For the first time ever, candidates could ‘easily’ and quickly apply online for just about any job.

'Bad leaders can pop up anywhere. They’re easy to spot, fun to mock and, let’s face it: we love to hate them. But what about when you’re the leader and you find yourself slipping into bad leadership behaviors? According to a recent study by the Center for Creative Leadership , nearly 40 percent of new chief executives fail outright within their first 18 months on the job, and even more of them fail to live up to the expectations of those who hired them.

However, at some point I decided I would give it a try and it changed my interview and consideration process. This was not an easy change and at times it caused the interview process to drag out longer than anticipated, but it was worth every additional second, minute, and day that was added.

This is why people follow them and work with them. The most effective executives don’t accept mediocrity.

If you say you haven’t felt pissed off, I’m going to call you a bold faced liar. You see, as recruiters, we’re dealing with people.

More than anything else that I’ve seen it underlines that the mobile internet isn’t just another channel it is a real quantum shift to a different way of doing things. Unfortunately that message doesn’t seem to be getting through when it comes to recruitment and I think that many employers and recruiters are still thinking about mobile in the wrong way.
