“I literally have received compliment after compliment. People have asked, ‘Who is Gina? Does she work here?’ and I tell them, ‘Nope, she’s a consultant,’ and they’re like, ‘She really knows your business.’” - Stacy Cheuvront, CPO at Winshuttle (at the time) THE HIRING NEED Winshuttle was in the process of building out a sales team and engaged PSP to source six initial roles across the country. Upon successfully completing this project, we were invited to assist with recruiting for other areas of the company. Being mindful of hiring costs, PSP proposed a more fiscally responsible project structure.

Fractional recruiting – a relatively new recruiting trend – brings different talent into play for companies. Fractional employment originated with the hiring of academic professors who were able to offer their expertise part-time for companies. It has expanded to include executives, TA, and other job descriptions. Fractional positions fall somewhere between advising and being an interim executive, and are increasing in popularity, especially among millennials. Fractional recruiters are a good solution for a segment of companies looking to hire. The upside of fractional recruiting is that a company doesn’t have to fund a full, in-house talent acquisition team, yet they still have access to knowledgeable people when they need to hire a new executive. But what are the possible pitfalls, and what should you be looking for in a successful fractional recruiter?

We’re all used to remote teams by now. Building real connection is still a challenge. This got us to pondering the whole question of just how organizations have been doing in building some sense of cohesion within teams whose members never – or seldom – actually meet in person. Unlike traditional work teams, remote teams don’t have physical spaces where folks might drop by each other’s offices, bump into each other in the hallway, or pull each other aside for an impromptu coffee chat. The members of remote teams can’t just go grab a spontaneous drink after work, and they don’t have the kind of daily contact that would enable them to read each other’s moods or really learn about each other’s daily lives. All of these small touchpoints are vital to interpersonal connection within a workplace, and remote teams don’t have them. Connection and cohesion still matter. It’s simply harder to foster and sustain them with remote teams. But it’s not impossible. From the earliest days of the COVID pandemic, smart people across the business world have been identifying this problem, and offering ways to address it. Do you have approaches of your own that have helped foster cohesion among remote teams? By all means do let us know, and we’ll pass along as many good suggestions as we can! #hiring #jobs #jobsearch #recruitment #nowhiring #employment #career #recruiting #work #hr #careers #hiringnow #humanresources #business #staffing #interview #vacancy #recruiter

Hiring for “beginner’s mind”? This concept was made famous in the West by Zen master Shunryu Suzuki, who wrote, “In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.” This ties into themes we’ve been discussing on social media, our blog, and our newsletter: namely generational differences in the workforce and the related challenge of navigating the concepts of “overqualified” and “underqualified” applicants. This whole idea – that traditionally valued qualities like “skill” and “qualification” and “expertise” can get in the way of the attainment of true success – has been explored by a lot of smart business commentators. What are your thoughts on when the "beginner's mind" is an asset? #hiring #jobs #jobsearch #recruitment #nowhiring #employment #career #recruiting #work #hr #careers #hiringnow #humanresources #business #staffing #interview #vacancy #recruiter
