The top recruiting tools don’t necessarily have to be expensive or complicated. It doesn’t have to mean CRMs or software solutions, either. It’s about finding the right tools – the tools that help your organization get the best talent in your industry.
Regardless of the reason for taking a break, when it comes to getting back on the horse and getting back into career mode, you need to have a plan. Even if you were only gone for a short period of time, things will have likely changed, and you need to do everything you can to ensure you are up to speed to give yourself the best chance of jumping back into your career where you left it.
Hiring is your opportunity to improve your team, add people with additional skills, and make a difference to the overall performance of your team. One aspect of the hiring process, especially in marketing, are social media background checks.
Rejection is part of the job search process. You are not going to get every job you want, and one should expect to get a few “thanks, but no thanks” responses along the way. It’s part of the job hunt – it’s also hard not to take it personally.
On the top of the list of important social sites for recruiting is LinkedIn. It’s the king of the professional connection – that is if your profile is up to par with the thousands of other professionals in your industry vying for the same top positions with industry leading organizations.
Recruiting and hiring top talent is not enough anymore. Forward thinking companies are expanding their recruiting process to include training, development and investing in retention strategies.
Whether you are looking to fill entry level positions, hire talent for middle management or require a new executive to join your leadership team, working with a recruiter is one of the most effective ways to find the right person, one who possesses the skills, experience and cultural fit you are seeking.
One of the first things you’ll learn about career advice is that everyone has some to offer – even those who know very little about your career or industry. People love to offer advice – some is useful and some is downright terrible career advice.
Having a great resume is a very valuable career tool. It will help you get your foot in the door, get the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, and it is what will land you job interview requests. A poorly crafted resume will do the opposite – it will get buried in the pile of other bad resumes, never to be looked at again.
