OK kids, we’re nearly a month in. 2012 is here.
While we’ve amended our lists of resolutions already, and our gym schedule just isn’t working out as hoped, as a job seeker, there is no room for slacking. Do you really know what’s around the corner?

Candidate Engagement is the Key to Recruitment Marketing Success
by Anthony Morrison on December 30, 2010 in Employer Advice
Ever hear the story of the guy who lost his car keys somewhere on the street at night? He was walking around in circles under a street light scanning the ground. A passerby asked him what he was looking for and the man replied, “Looking for my car keys.”
The passerby asked, “Did you drop them [...]
Building Your Talent Community Today is a Strategic Necessity
by Anthony Morrison on December 28, 2010 in Employer Advice
I am an idealist and constantly have to remind myself to take a step back from a problem and objectively review a situation. The job market is horrendous right now. We learn about mass layoffs every month. The November Employment Summary reported an unemployment rate of ~9.8% that will not subside, over 3 million open jobs, [...]

Great Jobs, but No candidates?? … In this Economy?
by Anthony Morrison on November 13, 2009 in Article, Newsletter, Uncategorized
After I read this article I found it to be a great read, but bothersome. I come across this over and over again , where companies waste money on job postings. Unfortunately, it happens all the time. The worst part is, it keeps happening. HR departments need to do what my boss tells me all the time, “Step out of your comfort zone”.

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a training event for third party recruiters presented by a very well known industry expert.

Unless you have been secluded in a remote cave somewhere (more on that later), you have more than likely heard these terms thrown around more and more at various recruiting conferences, summits training sessions, etc., as well as the coming “ Web 2.0 Recruiting Revolution.” You may ask yourself, “what is all of this, what [...]

by Anthony Morrison on March 10, 2008 in Uncategorized
Someone within a recruiting forum I belong to posted a comment today asking for information to help her lobby her management team on the need to go after passive candidates. In trying to provide her with some info, I could not stop typing, got to the end and said, hey that’s a blog! So without [...]
