Companies are not only built on hard work, but also on trust and mutual respect. Sometimes, an employee can be incredibly productive, but also averse to authority. They might complain about upper management, spread negative rumors to their coworkers, or take offense to trivial business errors. If not put in check, their bad attitude can quickly spread throughout an organization and hurt team morale, so it’s imperative that managers use employee coaching to handle toxic individuals.

There’s always been a general air of agency-bashing permeating the recruitment industry, well certainly there has for the decade of my involvement anyway. Usually it’s just a general sense, anecdotal evidence, Chinese whispers, a subtle roll of the eyes when a newly-met acquaintance learns what it is you do for a living. The common complaints are ones you’re all no doubt familiar with.

Any staffing company serious about increasing their gross margin, understands that this can only be accomplished by producing more, higher-quality applicants, submittals and placements on as small a budget as possible. This of course makes performance-based advertising, such as the PPC model, a powerful tool in the efforts to accomplish this goal. However, even the PPC model can be further optimized to produce a greater ROI.

During my annual spring cleaning, I stumbled upon a letter I wrote to Santa years ago. It was a doozy. Unlike most kids, I didn’t jump right to the point with the gift requests. Instead, I led off with three paragraphs detailing all the do-good-ery I had performed over the past year. Essentially, I wrote my own puff piece. I laugh now, but as a recruiter, I couldn’t help but note the resemblance of my letter to the referral letters I read daily.
