Welcome to our new website…and our shiny new blog!
Here’s a preview of topics we plan to cover (and those we’ll avoid).
Things we care about:
- Candidate sourcing and recruitment marketing trends
- Recruitment process outsourcing best practices – specifically Selective RPO
- Cool recruiting websites and technologies
- Applying a Sales/Marketing perspective to recruiting
- Recruiter productivity
- High-impact, cost-effective recruiting strategies
- Perspectives from industry leaders/innovators
- Motivational/Optimistic stories
Not so much:
- Recruiting gossip
- Pessimistic sentiment
- Old school, “What can you do for us?” recruiting
