…a JOB in a “traditional” world? Traditional people only sees the surface, thereby, missing the unusually great talents. This is for the simple fact that they just talk to the paper and not the person. They just browse the resume and not analyze the profile. Search sites are close to useless for the unconventional… for this time, recruiters just talks to computers. Obviously, the best ways would then be… through “networking” and self-promotion, like “blogs.” Clearly, a paradigm shift is neede… Continue

While there is nothing wrong in competing for talent, and 'poaching'from your direct competition, there are some dont's - and there are very relevant to WOW the prospective employee..... 1.

What he did was not only a feat, but also a testimony to his on-the-job skills, dedication and passion. Plain words would not suffice to express the feat of Capt Sullenberger.

A tale of the tape comparison for identical jobs at two different burger joints. The first is from Burger King, the second from the aforementioned burger slingers in New Zealand called Murder Burger (yep, seriously). ...Continue reading at… Continue

...We can all assess skills and experience by looking at a resume. And we can typically pick up on intelligence based on pedigree and some brief interviewing. But finding people that actually ‘fit in’ is crucial. How do we assess that? In the lazy, bureaucratic mindset we apply to hiring today it comes down to, at best, a ‘behavioral’ interview. But a prepared, outgoing individual can leap this hurdle. At worst we rely on our gut. If we aren’t completely revolted by the way the interviewee car… Continue
