One of the most prickly bones of contention in the subtle dance between agency recruiters and in-house recruiters is the CV float. For those of you unaware, or who use a different term, a CV float is the act of a recruiter e-mailing in a CV of a candidate to a company that the recruiter thinks that company might be interested in. The recruiter does not have an actual vacancy or requisition on with that client (sending a CV in those instances is called…err…Recruitment).

“It’s no surprise that Facebook is becoming a popular tool for recruiters. Over 18.4 million applicants are reported to have found their job on Facebook, and 85% of recruiters recommend Facebook as a great tool to their fellow recruiters. Along with the widespread use of Facebook in the recruiting process however, are the legal risks associated with it.” says Mark Wallace , founder of Justellus , a company that provides executive level sales and marketing services.

Recruiters lead an interesting and often fast-paced work day. The recruiting life consists of phones, emails, ATS searches, LinkedIn profile checks, data entry, live conversations, and co-worker interruptions, just to name a few. A recent article by Devora Zack, an author, consultant and coach ( myonlyconnect.com ), highlights a few of the myths we have failed to recognize for what they are.

I’m a big fan of what the team at The Marcus Buckingham Company , or TMBC, is doing when it comes to employee engagement, particularly around front-line leaders of people.

We should be focusing our training and development efforts on these leaders to help us improve employee engagement and drive retention — and to prevent recruiters and staffing profession

When hiring recruiters, it’s not always such an easy job. While you can find many “recruiters” in your searches, to find a great recruiter can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. One of the biggest things you need to pay attention to when interviewing recruiters is their analytical skills. Sure, people skills, sales skills, and marketing skills are all important, but without analytical skills a recruiter will often be subpar versus the Allstar recruiter you are looking for.

Well, a stay interview typically consists of a manager conducting a one-on-one interview with a targeted employee in an attempt to understand why the employee wants to keep working for the company.

One of the biggest points of contention between direct hire agencies and employers is candidate ownership. When average recruitment agency fees are over $22,000, the stakes are high. Contingent agencies only get paid when they make a successful placement, and they want to be sure they’re getting what they’ve rightfully earned. For employers, agency fees are their biggest recruitment spend and they want to be sure they’re not overspending.

People who deal with code can be very peculiar. What do you think of when you hear the word `programmer`? A strange but genius guy with no social skills? I can assure you that there are such people, but you are likely to meet also other types. We had a crazy idea to try to use 12 archetypes (normally used in psychology) that were defined by Carl Gustav Jung in order to define different types of programmers.
