#5 How does this Laser Miter Saw Work?

October 16, 2023

IT’S A KNOWN FACT: In our own garages, we all have construction tools we’re not 100% sure how to operate properly. Same thing when it comes to recruitment platforms. Do you truly understand how your Recruitment Tools work?


The advancing capabilities of recruitment platforms as “Tools,” considering the new technology they offer, is not a blip. It’s the reality of progress, it’s not going away. We all should be learning how things work. Understanding your outreach platform options (and how they function to your benefit) is vital to an enlightened hiring professional like yourself, and also for your workplace. Become someone who can evaluate with confidence what strategies you’re using for marketing your open job titles, as well as for marketing your company as a likeable workplace.


The operating manuals for doing this are loaded into my mind (*that’s a clever movie reference - **points for knowing what movie it’s from). Tell me: What recruitment platform info would you like to know more about, or even share insight on?

#9 How Well Do You Throw a Party

By Vanessa Yates • November 8, 2023
Speaking with so many of you, I observe varying intel levels on how to best gain applicant attention, and convert that over to the hiring of qualified, happy workers - who stay on board at the company. Not every HR People Person I speak with feels they pull this off as well as they’d like to. And, that is okay, it is learned by experience. And, by making Changes. Enter … ME … this is my cup of tea, my type of jam, my natural forte … More than most because this is My Mission. Helping companies figure out their Recruitment Outreach Audience and the best ways to actually connect - no matter what that strategy should be or presently is. Seeking workforce is so much like throwing a party. Setting the Party Stage like a good party host, we’ll cover the how-to’s in steps, because it does require a chunky checklist. And, Step #1 is the Mighty Job Post. Homework until next time: How well do you feel you understand what applicant behavior, to narrow that down to a good applicant target audience? And, how would you present a successful job description to them, based on that?

#8 Is This the Way the Way ... You'd Throw a Party?

November 8, 2023
Who here has ever thrown a party, especially a party at their home? Raise of hands. Your guests? How did you get them there? What did do/what did you tell them, to make them want to attend? What preparations did you make before they arrived? Did you vacuum? Get nice snacks and drinks? Maybe clean the bathroom up and spray air freshener LOL. And, what made them want to stay at the party? Or, prompted them to leave early? Hosting “Work” is very much like hosting a “Party.” You want people to come, want them to attend. They expect a good environment for attending. And, you’d prefer they stayed, unless they were an errant party guest who we all feel would better off leaving (note: how did the errant guest get there in the first place?). How in the world to do this? Got to put Best Foots forward (yes, I said foots). Next time, how to get those foots moving.
