Nancy Ford Un-Spun - Just When I Thought I Was Getting The Hang Of It...

I am probably the last person on Planet Earth to actually take a Spin class. When my health club started offering the class about six weeks ago I was hesitant to sign up - I've seen spin classes on TV, on the movies. They all entail some insanely fit instructor with a bullwhip and a megaphone screaming at their students to push, dig deep, DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON ME NOW, etc., etc. It intimidated me! I have enough scary voices in my head without opening myself up to another "motivational" screamer.… Continue

Margaret Graziano Monster's Offering Consulting Why Aren't We??

As promised another update from the beautiful Silicon Valley. As I logged on today I was annoyed when I saw the monster.com add above my post. Now they are offering selection tools and strategic staff planning consulting services. I know that Career Builder has already been doing this because my client got a proposal from them for $500k to develop a complete strategy, of course with their services imbedded across the board. Who can blame them; why not get on the bandwagon, everyone else is. Here… Continue

Jason Gorham Choose Your Recruitment Idols Wisely

A combination of events has lead me to write this blog post that has been brewing in me for years. First, was the tweets from the recent ERE conference (which I did not attend.) Second, was a call I had with another Maverick, who has been in recruiting longer than the internet. Let me first start of by saying that there are a lot of people in the industry I respect and admire and it’s not just for what they have done for the industry, but it’s also the type of people they are. Some of these peo… Continue
