Morning all,
Today is Veteran’s Day! And as the theme to this blog is recruiting and thriving in the 2009 economy, I think it is most important that I dedicate today’s post to the significance of this holiday…and what you can do as a recruiter to assist the millions of veterans out there today.

Morning!
And how are you today? Chances are, if you’re like many recruiters and sourcers out there, you probably have noticed a weee bit of a decrease in your recruiting business.
However! That DOESN’T mean you cannot continue to make money this year…you simply have to regroup, CHOOSE to succeed, and determine the best direction for you to apply your energies.
Fact is, tons and tons of folks are getting laid off….and yet, the positions for them to fill are decreasing more rapidly than water evaporates when falling onto a hot skillet.

Morning!
With the economy not being as flush as the world would like….the sad fact is, life DOES go on…and you still WILL need to bring in money.
The question now arises….how on earth will you do this if job orders dry up and candidates become more profuse than dandelions in the front yard of Texas?

Quick! Answer me this question!
Do you have (and I quote) unplaceable candidates?
Now now, I hear you laughing - stop that! I mean, the sheer idea!!

STOP RIGHT THERE AND PUT AWAY THE UMBRELLA!
Okay, okay, true, right now…you’re probably asking yourself:
Jeepers Barb, what umbrella? And is it stylish? Does it fit with my rugged maverick recruiter style as well?
Why, the umbrella to shield you from all the financial crashings that’s going on at various/sundry spots in the world, of course.
Think about it. Unless you’ve turned into a fossilized clam and are currently residing in Read the rest of this entry »
