"Talking to passive candidates is tricky. For the most part, the folks we are approaching are usually happy in their current place of employment and otherwise not browsing a competing firm's job listings to make a move. The mark of a strong recruiter is their ability to look at a person's profile or resume, see where they are in their career and make an opportunity for change compelling in less than two sentences. So much background research and industry knowledge is required for those two sentences to come together; everything from researching the candidates ideal project types, to understanding the geographic location or how organization charts can vary in responsibilities and titles across different firms in the same industry. If you do your background work before sending out your first email, those two sentences have the ability to entice the most remarkable talent." - Lenora Mendez | Project Manager at Emissary Visit our website: www.emissarysearch.com

Genuinely, who is in the right here? CEO for asking for a project or Applicant who is refusing to do unpaid work? I see both sides. I see why each feels like they are in the right. But what is right vs wrong anymore when it comes to recruiting and hiring? Every generation shifts the workforce and we are spang in the middle of a whole new shift. As with any and all changes, some companies will adapt and implement new ways of hiring to attract the incoming generation. Others will not. In my opinion, to each their own. Each company can decide what flag they want to plant in the sand and how they shape their culture. And each candidate can decide which culture they want to be a part of…starting at the interview process. https://lnkd.in/gNsM7rHt

Authenticity is essential when it comes to the search for outstanding talent! Creating a job description is not about using terminology; rather, it is about being genuine and honest. Give up the chaos of copying and pasting and embrace accuracy instead. Unrealistic lists have the effect of discouraging exceptional applicants from applying. #hiringwisdom #JobDescriptions #TalentAcquisition #AuthenticHiring

Many executive-level job seekers contact me when struggling with their search. Most frequently, they seek help with their resume and are convinced the resume is holding them back. The reality is that a resume is only one factor that may be inhibiting their search efforts. Here are the top ten reasons. 1.    Lack of Clarity: Candidates may not have a clear understanding of their career goals, making it difficult to target specific roles and organizations. 2.    Inadequate Self-Presentation: Poorly crafted resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters can fail to effectively showcase a candidate's skills and experience. 3.    Networking Deficiency: Executives often rely on their networks to secure high-level positions. Failing to nurture and leverage professional connections can be a significant barrier. 4.    Overconfidence: While confidence is important, overconfidence can be off-putting. Candidates who come across as arrogant or unwilling to learn from others may not be selected. 5.    Lack of Adaptability: Executives who are resistant to change or unable to demonstrate their adaptability in a rapidly evolving business environment can be overlooked. 6.    Inadequate Interview Skills: Even highly qualified candidates can stumble in interviews if they don't effectively communicate their value proposition, fit with the company culture, and problem-solving abilities. 7.    Neglecting Soft Skills: Soft skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership are often as important as technical expertise for executive roles. Candidates who focus solely on hard skills may miss the mark. 8.    Ignoring Company Culture: Failing to align with the company's culture and values can lead to a poor fit, making it unlikely for a candidate to be selected. 9.    Failure to Keep Skills Current: Executives need to demonstrate ongoing professional development and a commitment to staying up-to-date with industry trends and technologies. Outdated skills can be a hindrance. 10. Inadequate Research: Candidates who do not thoroughly research the organizations they're applying to may miss key insights that could help them tailor their approach and demonstrate their value to the company. It's important for executive-level candidates to approach their job search strategically, seeking opportunities that align with their skills, values, and career aspirations. They should also invest in professional development, maintain a strong professional network, and continually refine their presentation and interview skills to increase their chances of landing their ideal roles. #careercoaching #betterlivelihoods Career Coaching – eSearch (esearchjobs.com)

A client's recent hiring ordeal was a real eye-opener! 👀 The story: My client hired an employee who seemed a perfect fit from the resume and interviews. However, after 1 month he quit. We then heard back that he approached some of my client's customers directly for business. He couldn't be trusted with our customer database, but unfortunately, now it was too late! Could this have been avoided? Yes, if more effort was invested in having a better and safer hiring process! ✓ In-depth Background Checks: It's not just about skills. Understanding a candidate's past actions and ethics is vital. ✓ Careful with Sensitive Information: Initially limit access to crucial business data. Trust needs to be earned, especially when it comes to sensitive client and company information. ✓ Non-Compete Agreements: These are essential for legally protecting your business from potential misuse of inside knowledge. It's crucial to be meticulous about whom we trust with our business assets. How do you ensure new employees blend trust with responsibility in your business? #businessowner #Entrepreneurship #Finance #alwaysbeprofiting #construction
