We live in the day of customization.  Anything we touch we can pay the extra fee and customize it to match our personalities and to distinguish us from the crowd.  I can say I am guilty that a few things I have personalized but those are things that are in my personal life – nothing [...]

WATCH THIS: Jerry McGuire – Help Me Help You Clip We’ve all seen the movie Jerry McGuire. It’s a classic.. Right up there with E.T. (Extra Terrestrial, not ExactTarget), in my opinion. This one-minute segment of the movie couldn’t be more significant of what the day in the life of a recruiter looks like. As a [...]

As I sit at my desk listening to the activity surrounding me-calls to clients and candidates, talk about the Holiday and Christmas Season,  jokes at each other’s expense, and congratulations for a multitude of things-I am amazed at what a few people of like mindedness are able to do. There is that old adage about [...]

Before the title scares you away I want to clear up the fact that this blog has nothing to do with that terrible movie of the same title with Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson – You, Me, and Dupree.  As a sports fan I’m a little embarrassed that I knew nothing about Marcus Dupree and [...]

Each week that goes by things get more and more interesting around the office.  If we fill 5 roles, we pick up 10 more.  Just when we wrap up a current clients needs, we sign contracts with 3 more.  Traditionally the slow time in recruiting is the last quarter of the year.  The 4th quarter [...]
