Email. No matter how many people try and tell us it’s dead , the fact of the matter is email still a necessary part of our day-to-day lives as recruiters, and will probably continue to be for a number of years to come.

Cat videos, music prodigies, gold dress vs blue dress…this is the kind of content many of us have increasingly been seeing on social media within the last few years.

All recruiters, no matter the company size or industry, have one thing in common: it never stops. Between scheduling (and rescheduling) interviews, reminding your hiring managers to provide feedback, cleaning up your ATS and booking locations for upcoming recruiting events, the workload never eases up.

In business, the companies that hire the best employees are the companies that win. Though the concept sounds simplistic, executing on it is an entirely different story. Despite the advent of job boards and increasing usage of social media sites, recruiting “difference makers” is and always has been an arduous, expensive task. It’s basic recruiting economics; the demand for intelligent, driven and passionate job applicants is consistently high while the supply is always low.

Job advertisements: Whether you love them or hate them, they remain a crucial part of talent acquisition. Without the job ad, there’s nothing to build your recruitment message around, to attract candidates with, or to promote your open position. A recruiter’s goal is to essentially sell jobs, which can’t be done if an effectively written job ad doesn’t exist.

Over time, the term “job hopper” has taken on a negative connotation. It’s become synonymous with someone who moves from job to job every few months, not really taking the time to get invested in any one company. Some believe they may be lazy or simply disinterested in their field. Either way, extending an offer to a job hopper generally isn’t seen as a good thing.
