Have you met Cheri Jackman and Sarah Tracey-Graverson? If you've interviewed with us over the last few months, you've likely interacted with Sarah or Cheri at some point. They're part of our expert recruiting team. Both Cheri and Sarah come from operations backgrounds and have a passion for the retail industry as a whole. Their dedication to having real, relationship-based conversations and matching candidates with the right opportunities is what sets J Recruiting Services apart. The rave reviews from our candidates after going through our interview process speak for themselves. We are so lucky to have them (and so many others who really care!) on our team! #MeetTheTeam  #JRecruitingServices  #TalentAcquisition  #RecruitmentExperts

Are you looking for interview advice?  Interviewing but not getting that job offer?  Say goodbye to basic advice and hello to detailed, actionable coaching around the essentials to acing an interview.  We get questions from candidates all the time. "How can I share all that I've done in a quick 30-minute interview?" or "Did they share why I wasn't chosen?"  This course was created to address both of those questions and offer real, actionable advice on how to show up and showcase that brilliance in a quick 30-minute call. 💼 Better yet? The results speak for themselves.  Over 60% of people who have completed this course in the last 60 days have received a job offer!  Equip yourself with the tools to showcase your true value and expertise. Interviewing is a skill. Make the investment.  Check the link below for more:  https://lnkd.in/g9s3kanr #InterviewSuccess  #Workshop

Starting the week with another 5-star review from one of our candidates! 🌟 "Very friendly, transparent, & easy-to-reach recruiter." Many things will change and evolve, but our philosophy on providing a great candidate experience will remain the same. The simple truth is - a candidate's experience should be short and sweet (just like this review).  The recruiter should be responsive and available. The candidate should receive regular, meaningful updates and communication. When was the last time you mapped out your candidate experience? Is it 5-star worthy? Many #retail companies have implemented technology into their recruiting process that has unintentionally made it complicated and inefficient. We talked to one retail leader recently who said their current process includes 13 asks from the candidate and emails from 4 different people. This is all BEFORE an offer. Yuck. We're thrilled to hear that this review came from a candidate who had a positive experience with our team, finding them not only friendly but also transparent and easily accessible! This #client got an outstanding new employee who may not have been interested if we made them jump through hoops before even taking the time to connect over the phone. If you're a retail organization that could use help simplifying your candidate experience in a way that creates raving fans - reach out! We're here to serve. #retailrecruiting #retailjobs #candidateexperience

Did you know that #Transparency is one of our core values at J Recruiting? What do we mean by that? So many people and organizations will say they’re transparent, but what does it look like to live out that value?  For our team, it looks like being honest and upfront with our clients in everything from sharing candidate information to what we’re seeing out there in the candidate market. We are not a fan of “sugar coating” or trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole over here. That could be great for short term results, but we're in it for the long haul. We're real #partners with our clients and that means sharing it all. We find our genuine transparency leads to better outcomes and stronger relationships. True partners have trust and trust is established through professional transparency. Trust us to deliver results with transparency and integrity. #expectmore #clientrelationships #retailrecruiting #retailjobs

"Tell me something about yourself” Giving a confident answer to this question creates a positive first impression and sets you up with confidence for the rest of your interview. So, how do you answer this most common interview question? We like the tip below from @how2become.com recommends using the SEAT structure. S.E.A.T! S stands for the SKILLS and STRENGTHS you can bring to the position. E stands for the EDUCATIONAL qualifications and EXPERIENCE you can offer the company. A stands for one significant ACHIEVEMENT you have gained in your life so far, either from a previous working role, or your personal life. T stands for the TYPE of person you are and what you will do in the role if they hire you. Make sure you use the S.E.A.T structure to get the highest scores achievable. And, you can remember the S.E.A.T structure because you will be sitting in an interview SEAT! Other than using the SEAT structure, there are more tips on how to ace your in-person interview: https://lnkd.in/gcstuFyv

This week’s featured five-star review comes from a #candidate who described their experience as “fantastic”! It is part of our mission to ensure that every candidate and client feels informed at every step of the way. Anyone in recruiting understands the importance of follow-up and communication in providing a great #candidate experience. It takes time and effort to create an experience that makes candidates say it was “spot on.” This is where we come in. Our proven process consistently delivers outstanding candidate experiences like this one. Finding the right person at the "right time" requires proactive outreach to the ideal candidate market. THAT is the magic our sourcing team provides. We’re honored to have been a part of this candidate's career journey and are cheering them on as you continue to grow in their new #retail role! #retailrecruiting #retailjobs #candidateexperience

Are you resilient in your work? We define resilience as the ability to withstand or quickly recover from difficulties. Resilience is a quality our clients frequently mention when describing their ideal candidate. They seek individuals who understand there will be challenging days and who can envision and reach the end goal beyond the obstacles. Share examples of tough challenges, ambitious goals, and difficult situations you've navigated. How did you lead your team to achieve the end goal? What were the challenges, and what kept you motivated on the tough days? Demonstrating resilience in an interview is a surefire way to stand out from the crowd. #retailrecruiting #retailjobs
