General Rock Stars

What gets our attention (besides shiny objects and laser pointers)? Really interesting, naturally inquisitive people with a drive to succeed and do better than they did the last time. A street & book smart combo. The ability to laugh at yourself. Tinkerers, inventors. People who have created their own businesses, or will one day. Internet savvy. People who know that the answers invariably lead to more questions - and love the fact that the world's built that way. We seek the best - our philosophy is simple: hire people who are smarter than we are and who thrive on solving really interesting problems, provide them room to breathe and back them with some resources, and watch them go. Because we're looking for incredibly impactful, interesting people, this can be a tough place to get into (unless you’re this guy, but no company’s perfect). That said, if you’ve got the smarts, the creativity, and the nice-person pieces down, it’s worth reaching out to us. There's a lot happening here, and a good chance we need somebody with your background (unless you're a juggler - we already have one of those).

So, what are you waiting for? Hit the link below, and let''s get moving.

We were candidates before we were recruiters

We were candidates before we were recruiters so fundamentally, that began our career. In reality, how can you be a recruiter if you never had to search for a job? It is part of our training, development and often our character. I still on occasion search as a candidate, not because I am unhappy in my job but because as a recruiter it is my job to understand things from all perspectives. What does the candidate see out there? What is my competition offering to attract talent? Is my company competitive? How is our employment branding/identity compared to others?

To be an exceptional recruiter, you must ALWAYS with out exception be able to view the process from all prospective, first and foremost, without negotiation through the candidate’s eyes. I am not being naive with that absolute statement. I do understand the politics of the internal and external recruitment processes but remember why you actually are in this field.

ATTENTION INDIFFERENT RECRUITERS:
Hey you! Yah you! The one with sandwich in your hand, I am talking to you! Go ahead, take another bite of your ham on rye while you are meeting with a candidate, take another phone call during an interview and answer that incoming email while meeting with a vender.

Don’t you get it!!! It is all about the people! The people you work, for, around and with were all candidates once! Your most respected colleagues and role models got where they are by developing their talents it wasn’t by osmosis! Maybe you are really in it for the payday but, really, get another job and leave this to the passionate people, it is too important! This is people’s careers, their lively hood. Take it seriously, I sure do!

Learn something about this process or GET OUT OF MY BLOG!! You do not belong here! Poser! Wash Up! Go find a different seat on another bus!

If you are offended or smiling should really determine if you belong in this recruiters playground!

Wow, that was cleansing. I needed that.

My husband, who is also in the field on the vender side told me once that I have to be patient and remember not every recruiter has the passion I do, I shouldn’t offend.
I don’t want to offend…much; I am sensible, I don’t expect everyone to be overly-enthusiastic and live and breathe the process. I just hope for recruiters/hiring managers while on the job remember that we were candidates before we were recruiters.

As for patience, I try to be, I am…well, Uhh, wait until my husband reads this tangent!
