We live in a vainglorious world. Technology has brought us the phenomenon of selfies and social media provided the platform for us to share our pouting selves with all and sundry.

Hiring is one of the most critical tasks and challenges an organization faces.

In 3 days time, little children everywhere will be doing their best to scare the lives out of unsuspecting adults in the hopes of receiving candy for their efforts. But recruiters the world over are already trying to frighten away thousands of job seekers by making some of the silliest job ad blunders known to man. ‘Bust’ or ‘busty’ instead of busy.

Those in charge of hiring can typically rattle off a solid list of traits that attract a job seeker to an open position within their business. Factors like salary and health benefits will always matter when it comes to recruiting efforts, regardless of the age of the person you’re talking with or the type of position that’s available. However, there is a range of other components that professionals are seeking out as they look for their next career opportunity.

Did you know that when new employees go through a structured onboarding process with a new company, they’re 58% more likely to remain there for over 3 years? 58% – that’s too big a statistic to ignore. Yet, in spite of this clear evidence of how important onboarding is, chances are that we can all recall a time when we started a new job and there wasn’t been a desk for us to sit at, a computer for us to use, or best of all – the niggling feeling that no one actually

However, the national headline numbers can mask huge variations in the labor market.

Is employee engagement at the forefront of your mind when you’re recruiting for a role? If not, it really should be. Reports show that only 31.5% of U.S workers are actually engaged in their jobs, costing companies up to $550 billion every year due to lost productivity. So it’s all well and good for recruiters to place a candidate in a role, but if they aren’t actually motivated enough to fulfill their duties in that role, it’s not just a big ol’ waste of time, but

It has recently become a very popular point of contention for job seekers to refuse to offer salary history to prospective employers and the recruiters they use to source talent. While in some instances this may make very good sense, particularly if someone was significantly underemployed or underpaid, in most cases it is creating an unnecessary hurdle that may cause a candidate to be excluded from consideration for a job they really want.
