Ever feel like your job postings are shouting into the void? I've been there. It's frustrating. But here's a trick I stumbled upon: Job Posting Schema. It's not as complicated as it sounds, I promise. Here's why it's worth your time: 1. Google loves it Your job shows up in Google for Jobs. More eyes on your posting = more applicants. Simple math, big results. 2. Candidates see the important stuff Job title, location, salary - all upfront. No more time wasted on mismatched expectations. Happy candidates, happy hiring manager. 3. You'll stand out Most companies aren't doing this yet. Be the shiny penny in a sea of dull coins. Attract better talent while your competition scratches their heads. Now, I get it. New tech can be intimidating. But here's a simple way to start: Go to schema.org/JobPosting Look at the 'Properties' section. Pick 5 that fit your job post. That's it. Start small, see the difference. Remember, hiring isn't just about filling seats. It's about building a team that clicks. And sometimes, a little tech magic can help you find that perfect fit.

The other day, someone asked me how many keywords a candidate should stuff at the top of their resume. I nearly spit out my coffee. Here's the thing: I've always found those keyword lists frustrating. As a recruiter, I'd skip right past them, diving into the meat of the resume to determine fit. Sure, it took longer to eyeball each application. But you know what? The results were WAY better. It got me thinking... The keyword game is driving everyone nuts: Candidates are turning resumes into buzzword bingo. Recruiters are sifting through mountains of applications. ATS systems might be missing out on great talent. But here's the good news: I'm hoping this keyword obsession is on its way out. With more hiring managers using AI to screen resumes and interact with candidates, we can finally get past the keyword circus. AI doesn't just match words - it understands context and potential. Watch my posts this week for more intel on how AI is changing hiring. Trust me, it's worth a read. But first, I'm curious. Hiring pros, how do YOU feel about keyword-stuffed resumes?

I used to spend HOURS jumping between tabs and apps. 😫 The Dashboard Dance, I called it. Anyone else feel that way?

"Are we hitting our sales targets?" I was drowning in information overload. Then I realized the problem. It wasn't that the info wasn't there... It was scattered everywhere.

The Hiring Headache is OVER Confession time: I used to DREAD hiring. 😓 Ever feel like candidates say all the right things, but you STILL wonder: • Can they actually do the job? 🤔 • Will they love the work? 💖 • Are they a culture fit? 🧩 I was overwhelmed. Stuck. Lost. Then I had an aha! moment. 💡 The problem wasn't a lack of good candidates... It was a lack of CLARITY. 🔍 How could I find the right person if I wasn't crystal clear on what I needed? Enter AI - the game-changer. 🤖 Here's how AI is revolutionizing my hiring process: 1. Defining Core Values I fed one of our core values to ChatGPT: "We think like detectives." In SECONDS, I got specific, observable behaviors: ✅ "A talent consultant who digs deep, asks probing questions, and thoroughly researches client needs." ❌ "Accepting surface-level requirements without exploring underlying business challenges." Suddenly, our values came to LIFE. 🌟 2. Clarifying Job Outcomes 🎯 I shared a job description with AI and asked for top outcomes in the first 90 days. Result? Crystal-clear expectations like: "Develop and implement personalized talent acquisition strategies for three key clients, resulting in successful placements that align with both client culture and candidate career goals." No more vague job descriptions! 📝 3. Crafting Revealing Interview Questions 🗣️ With clear outcomes, AI helped generate targeted questions: "Could you share a specific example of a time when you worked with a client that was having trouble expressing their specific candidate needs?" These questions dig DEEP into past experiences, revealing a candidate's true potential. The magic? AI provides CLARITY at lightning speed. ⚡ It's not about replacing human insight. It's about ENHANCING it. 🧠+🤖 AI gives us the framework. WE bring the human touch, intuition, and industry expertise. Result? A hiring process that's: • Faster ⏩ • More focused 🎯 • Consistently successful 🏆 No more hiring headaches.

I once interviewed a candidate who charmed everyone in the room. Great personality. Impressive resume. Killer smile. We hired the candidate on the spot. Big mistake. Three months later, she was gone. Why? She couldn't deliver the results we needed. Here's the hard truth: If your interview questions don't connect to job outcomes, you're just making conversation, not hiring. We were asking all the wrong questions: • "What's your greatest strength?" • "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" • "Why should we hire you?" These questions tell you NOTHING about how someone will perform in the role. Instead, try these: ➡️ "Could you describe a major challenge you faced that is similar to what you might encounter in this role?    ➡️ "In your previous role, what specific performance objectives or metrics did you use to measure success? How did these metrics influence the decisions you made?" ➡️ "One of the key objectives for this role is achieving [specific outcome]. Can you walk me through a specific time when you were responsible for delivering a similar result? How did you approach it, and what was the impact on the organization?" Remember: Past behavior predicts future performance. Don't fall for charm. Hire for results. Want to transform your hiring process? Let's talk. aha!

Imagine this: A local influencer with 50K followers walks into your business. But they're not here to promote your product. They're here to BE your employee for a day. Through their eyes, their followers see: • The inside jokes at the morning huddle • Your manager’s terrible (but endearing) attempt at TikTok dances • The intense brainstorming session where EVERYONE's ideas matter • That busy times when the team rallies It's raw. It's real. It's YOUR company culture in action. No polished corporate videos. No scripted testimonials. Just authentic, day-in-the-life content. The result? • Applications from people who already "get" your vibe • Candidates excited about your culture before they even apply • A recruiting reach you never thought possible It’s a strategy that can make you stand out to the right candidates. But here's the kicker: It's not just about hiring. It's about building a community that WANTS to be part of your story. Who's brave enough to let an influencer "take over" for a day?

If your job posting looks like a shopping list, don't be surprised when candidates treat it like one. Here's the wake-up call: Your candidates are shopping. And you? You're just another item on THEIR list. But here's what most recruiters get wrong: They think a longer list = better candidates. WRONG. Your job posting isn't a company's wish list. It's your one shot to make top talent say "That's ME!" Want to know the secret to attracting rockstars? It's not about what you want. It's about what THEY want. 3 things your job posting MUST have: 1. A taste of your culture (the real one, not the PR version) 2. The impact they'll make (hint: it's not "other duties as assigned") 3. Growth opportunities (because the best talent is always leveling up) Remember: You're not filling a position. You're inviting someone to join your mission. Make them feel it. The right candidates will come running. The wrong ones will self-select out. That's the power of a great job posting. Are you ready to stop shopping and start attracting?
