Recruiting is a crazy world, but sometimes I wonder how much it has changed since I was actively in the field. It has been my goal to talk to a current recruiter on this show and it has finally happened! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Press of The Judge Group. He has been recruiting for 17 years and we discussed how recruiting has changed, how it has stayed the same, and other topics that are helpful for how small businesses can successfully hire employees. For more information about The Judge Group, visit their website: http://www.judge.com/.

We all love good buzzwords. They help sum up what we are looking for in a candidate, so we use them everywhere: job postings, interviews, onboarding, etc. But do we really know what we are communicating when we use those seemingly harmless buzzwords? Today, I’m showing you the difference between how a candidate defines and how an employer commonly views four buzzwords. Ultimately, I hope this helps you create a job posting that will attract the best candidates to grow your business. If you haven’t already, hit that Subscribe button so you don’t miss a thing!

LinkedIn published an article in January 2021 that discusses the top jobs in 2021 and some of the important skills needed for each job. While it is a great resource for job seekers, it made me wonder if employers know how to identify the qualities that they need for these in-demand positions. How do you know when you've found a candidate with good problem-solving skills or the ability to handle conflict? Today, I'm bringing you some key questions to ask when interviewing frontline e-commerce workers and what you want to look for in their responses.

In this Season Finale, I'm explaining how employer recruitment should look like college football recruiting. (Why not make it a little fun, right?) Here are some of the highlights:
-
College is expensive and so is hiring people for your business.
-
You can't recruit in a vacuum as an employer and neither do college football recruiters.
-
Recruiting is a team sport.
There are two more important comparisons, so make sure you listen until the end.
This was taken from the article I recently wrote for Recruiter.com. If you can't listen to the whole thing, you can read about it there.
I'll be back in a few months with more episodes, so make sure to subscribe or favorite #BeAHiringHero. That way you won't miss a thing.
