An objective evaluation every now and then (especially during strong business cycles) can be quite validating if you consider someone to be your best employee. Maybe they really and truly are your best employee(s).
The best candidates are employed but do not necessarily have their resumes floating on the web. However, they are “keeping their eyes and ears open for great opportunities.” These are the types of candidates that are gold. They are most likely working for your competitors but these candidates are “hands off” to in house recruiters.
It is imperative when you accept a new job, that you imagine how your resume will look if you accept a new job or quit the job you have.
Your resume is an investment that can pay future dividends. Build it and realize that no one wants to hire a “job hopper” no matter the reason.

As an executive recruiter I have witnessed first hand that age discrimination is a factor even on a resume. Employers look at when an applicant graduated college and then do the math to decipher how old someone is and in many cases, will not interview if someone is perceived to be a “geezer.” Over age 50. You read it right over age 50.
This is nothing short of outrageous. Especially in the healthcare field where the average age of an RN is 52 years old.
“Find me a recruiter!” is a very typical request from an overwhelmed executive to the team or to HR. To be crystal clear, HR’s function and training is not in the same league as using a recruiter.
As a healthcare recruiter, it is very common for me to receive a call on a Friday from a client, that a key employee has resigned and I am then given a job order to fill. I often counsel my clients to first take a deep breath and assess how their operation will be affected.
Ah……the flood of resumes after posting an ad on one of the employment boards. Candidly, it’s a shame that America’s employment landscape is in such shambles. It’s terribly painful to be unemployed. When you are… Read More »Crowdsourcing
