Our Work in a Nutshell...

"If I were running a company today, I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could. I'd put off everything else to fill my bus... And the single biggest constraint on the success of my organization is the ability to get and to hang on to enough of the right people."

- Jim Collins, Good to Great

We're in the business of connecting people.  Plain and simple.  We know people that you don't know.... folks who could potentially help you achieve a greater level of success, whether personally or as a company.  Our connections have resulted in TENS of MILLIONS of dollars of revenue for our client partners over the years. We seek to create a Win-Win-Win situation for all parties involved--- jobseeker, employer, us.    There are different ways we can accomplish this mission.  Whether it's via a full executive search, spearheaded by our talented consultants, contingent labor (contract resource), or a sourcing/advertising strategy with eMarketingSilo, we have a program to help you market your employment brand and recruit internet marketing talent to your organization.  Now, let's get started!

Green Recruiting and the '90s Tech Bubble

The demand for "IT" folks during the '90s tech boom greatly outpaced the available supply of talent.  Recruiters and Staffing firms who managed to source and collect a team of such people could charge a premium for their services and those folks' tail ends never spent any time on the bench.  Lots of recruiters and contract firms made a killing working in IT.

With the nationwide (and now federal government) push to go "green", will recruiting for people with knowledge in this niche become the next IT boom?  The government is going to heavily subsidize these practices and probably create a lot of jobs in this field.  Will "green" rival the tech boom of the last decade?

Green energy, green technology, sustainable practices, recycling... these are all buzz words associated with this movement.  Even if your company doesn't actually design, develop, or manufacture green technology, implementing green practices and incorporating those efforts into your employment brand is a must.  (see - Green Recruiting: Cashing in on the Green to Enhance Your Employment Branding Efforts)

My recruiting firm is starting to take notice.  The owner of our firm is heavily involved with a green racing team (see - http://www.thomascrownracing.com).  We're also looking at potentially staffing a hybrid auto maker as an outsourced partner this year.  Very exciting.  Our research shows an uptick in demand across the country for knowledge/experience in this area.

57 States and 44 Presidents

Did anyone else catch the minor mistake in Obama's Inaugural speech? (hardly newsworthy, just curious)  Obama stated, "Forty-Four Americans have now taken the Presidential oath."  Sorry, only 43 folks (including Obama) have held the office of the president (and thus taken the oath).... count 'em (http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/) One would think his hotshot 27 (28?)- year old speech writer would have caught that (or at least one of his aides).

Peter Weddle - Social is Not Human in Recruiting

Today's War for Talent is best waged with a social strategy. That's a far cry from what's implicitly accepted as the key to success in recruiting today. Conventional best practices are built on the notion that talent acquisition is really an exercise in hiring "human capital." While that term may dignify us humans as a special form of capital, however, it fails to acknowledge the one attribute that differentiates cognitive beings from cogs: we are a social species not carbon-based widgets. The best way to recruit talent for our organizations, therefore, is to acknowledge and respect that distinction.

Do Andy Beal and Lee Odden know each other?

I wonder if Andy Beal (Trackur/MarketingPilgrim) and Lee Odden (TopRankMarketing) bumped into each other at the airport in Vegas.  The Affiliate Summit West is taking place this week out there.  Andy is giving a presentation on Reputation Management, and I'm not sure if Lee has any formal speaking engagements or not (actually I just noticed a Twitter post about speaking at 3:15 about Online Brand Management for affiliates, networks, and merchants).  I follow both of them on Twitter.  They're fairly active commenters. Both reported landing at the airport within moments of each other.  I've been trying to get them involved with our Broadcast Partner Affiliate program, but they're ignoring me.  Our Career Center platform and job search advice for internet marketing professionals would be a unique informational category for both of them, (as well as most internet marketing blogs out there).  That's the whole point of possessing skills and knowledge in this field.... TO MAKE MONEY BY WORKING DIRECTLY FOR EMPLOYERS OR CLIENTS.  Yet, most people who write/blog/Tweet in this field do very little to help their fellow marketers in this area.
