The notion of “no publicity is bad publicity” was severely put to the test by Annette Sleep of O’Neil’s Personnel last weekend.

A job interview is a two-way street. While you’re evaluating candidates to find the best fit for your job and culture, those candidates are evaluating you. Job candidates look at everything from how you’re dressed to who’s present at the interview to the work environment to determine if you’re a fit for them. A job interview often serves as a candidate’s first impression of your brand and culture — and you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.

That infamous question – What’s in a name? As we tragically found out, a lot. A name can carry thoughts, feelings and ideas that may or may not accurately reflect the subject. For employers, the name of their company holds a lot of weight when it comes to the attraction of quality talent. A name can either deter or entice job seekers to find out more, apply and ultimately invest in the organization with their time, dedication and talents.

High-performing employees are to the organization as oxygen is to the human body. If your company doesn’t bring enough in, it’s going to suffocate, slowly and painfully. That’s why I believe that even in larger companies, the CEO should play a direct role in attracting and retaining top talent.
