PSA for Recruiters / HR / TA (or anyone) responsible for posting jobs.. Don't post a job as "remote" and then include the following type of disclaimer in the JD section- (real example below) Sales Director - NY (Remote) **Must be based in Buffalo, Syracuse, or Rochester** If you are requiring candidates to live close to the office for potential visits, etc, then the job is NOT remote and is misleading to those job-seekers whom are searching for remote as criteria. Remote = Work from anywhere Hybrid = Partial in office and WFH In-office = Self- explanatory

One of the many things I have always enjoyed about recruiting is there is no better function that gets to see and learn about how a company operates. Each open position you have, you learn about a different department and what makes it important to business efficiency. x100 hires a year an you have a really unique perspective on the innerworkings of the company. #recruiting

⭐ Employee Spotlight! ⭐ Please join me in welcoming Hannah Hunter to the Actalent team! Hannah joined the team earlier this month and is supporting our Quincy, MA office! What’s stuck out to you/ impressed you in the interview process? In my interview process I was extremely happy I was able to have a half day at the Quincy office. I was impressed by the team meetings tracking the progress of each employee’s assigned jobs, and the overall office dynamic. The Quincy team, recruiter (Christina Sokolowski), and Ryan Kalil provided extensive support in answering all my questions about the recruiting role, and Actalent which helped me decide this is somewhere I wanted to be. What are you most excited about? I am most excited about starting a career in recruiting, and being a part of Actalent’s overall company growth. I am thrilled to start at Actalent with a 13 week training program, so I am set up for success and can fulfill all of my responsibilities. What advice would you give someone considering a career in recruiting? Some key advice I would give someone considering a career in recruiting is to be able to work in a fast- paced, competitive environment where you have many responsibilities (sourcing, screening, servicing). It’s important to understand that if something falls through with your current recruiting path that you must move forward, and not let this bring you down. Also, it’s important to know you will be communicating with many people (making phone calls, writing emails, 1 on 1 greets), and networking throughout your daily career so having strong people skills, and drive to communicate is key for your individual success. Hannah, we are so lucky to have you on the team!! I am excited to see all you will accomplish! #Recruiting #Actalent #PeopletoPossible #Career

Good read on Talent Marketing position. Should this be a part of the Recruiters job (potentially new projects they enjoy) for creative thinking, sparking innovation to reach new candidate pools, or should this be a dedicated resource? #TalentMarketing #RecruitmentInnovation #HRStrategy

Culture is a big buzz word. A lot of organizations and leaders talk about it, but in my experience, there usually isn’t any steak with the sizzle. 🥩 One of the many things I love about working at #Herzog is our culture. It’s not another cliche for a press release, it’s a mindset shared by employees at every level throughout our entire enterprise. It is undeniable through these books you see on dashboards and desks across North America and the daily actions of nearly 3,000 employees. Belief ➡ Behavior ➡ Outcome

I had to take a moment to let it all soak in…. I’ve had a great career in Talent Recruitment & Development thus far and the best unspoken title has been people champion. Inside and outside of work, one of my passions is volunteering and helping professionals uncover their power, purpose, and potential at work (no matter their title, level, or age) - you all have value to give and my role as a people champion is to help you see it and show it off! I got a chance to connect with 100s of women around the globe and these are the lessons that I want to also pass on to you! Take one that fits! 🔍 Career growth isn’t just about setting external goals—it’s about believing in your ability to achieve them. If you don’t truly see your own potential, it’s hard to reach the next level. Invest time in shifting your mindset, and the results will follow. 🔍 There will always be aspects of your job environment that you can’t control, but what matters most is how you choose to react. Focus on taking action where you can make a difference, and shift your perspective on the things you can’t change. Your power lies in how you respond, not in the circumstances themselves. 🔍 Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you—actively create them. Be intentional about your career moves, seek out new challenges, and take risks when necessary. You are in control of your career trajectory, and taking ownership is the first step to shaping your future. 🔍 Perfectionism can hold you back from making progress. Allow yourself to take imperfect steps toward your goals. We often think when I get the “degree, more experience, higher level job.. then I can make an impact”. BUT every small effort builds momentum toward long-term success. 🔍Too often we play it safe, bound by fear of failure or judgment. To truly stand out, you need to operate at a higher level—one that focuses on continuous improvement, innovation, and expanding your impact. Push yourself beyond your comfort zone to unlock your full career potential. 🔍 Your career isn’t a solo journey. Building meaningful relationships with mentors, peers, and leaders can open doors to opportunities you didn’t know existed. Don’t be afraid to reach out, ask for advice, give support, and connect—your network is one of your greatest assets. 🔍 Success isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about bouncing back stronger. Each obstacle you overcome adds to your toolkit of experience and fuels your long-term career progress-yes even THOSE jobs! What would you add? #40under40 #careeradvice
