We’ve found ourselves uttering at least one of these in our recruitment careers… “Apologies, the hiring manager has been out of the office unexpectedly”. – he’s been avoiding me/totally forgot about you, and it’s taken me a week to corner him for feedback. “I’m afraid all my late afternoon slots are gone…”. – Dude, at 5:30pm I want to go home, I don’t want to interview you.

Seth Godin writes a lot of fantastic posts, this one about effort and narratives got me thinking. In recruiting we tend to use our narrative as an excuse: Our ATS is old and terrible. Recruiting is broken. We can never find any candidates. When you take a problem and allow it to control how you do your job, the problem wins. Let’s change the story we tell ourselves.

You’ve read through your candidate’s application 16 times, obsessively refreshed their LinkedIn page, and even discovered their Facebook profile. Still, it feels like you know nothing about them. It’s not enough to see that they grew their sales team from 2 to 20 people; you want to hear about it. This is where the phone screen, often the first step of the interview process, comes in handy.

The first rule of quality IT sourcing is: be where your talents are. Sourcing tools can be of great help but nevertheless, you need to know more about your target group. So ask yourself some questions: Where do programmers spend their time? Where do they work on open source projects? Where do they share knowledge and help each other? If you know the answer to these questions then you are on a good way on your IT sourcing path.

Most of us still think of a full-time employee as someone who works Monday through Friday for eight hours a day. However, according to CareerBuilder’s latest survey, this definition may be outdated. According to the survey, nearly 3 in 5 workers (59 percent) are of the opinion that the traditional 9-to-5 workday is a thing of the past – and not because of flexible schedule perks.

A vacation? What’s that? In 2015, more than half of American workers didn’t use all of their paid vacation days. In comparison, workers in France, Germany and Scandinavia routinely take six weeks off per year. Several studies show that not taking extended time off from work hurts productivity. Not taking vacations is bad for our health, potentially bad for our coworkers’ health (see: presenteeism ) and even harms our personal relationships.

I’ll admit that I joined Twitter somewhat reluctantly; unlike, say, Facebook, which is instantly intuitive and almost universally acceptable, Twitter seemed, in the halcyon days of social media, something akin to the online version of the AV Club.

Are your organization’s employer brand and corporate brand working together seamlessly? Probably not, but you’re not alone.
