Hiring in professional services, finance and technology is running at one-third the rate of the overall labor market.

Wake up! Do you only rely on technical skills when recruiting? Once upon a time, a client came to me looking for a financial professional with razor-sharp accounting skills. Here's what happened... When I started looking, I did the usual: I searched and brought up three qualified candidates, but none fit into my client's environment. So, I pivoted. I chose a candidate who didn't have all the technical skills but had a hell of a can-do attitude. Guess what? He got the job! Remember, hiring isn't a one-size-fits-all game. Prioritize compatibility. We must change the rules now! We need to hire more quickly and intelligently. Agree? Disagree? Share your own experiences below. 👇

Let's talk about meeting Candidates Recruiting into Finance and Operations, outside opinion may be that you're working at a desk and there is nothing to share or show. Well, this week, I was lucky to be given a tour of one of my Candidates workplace sharing all the insight and details of his job. I left with such a clear understanding of his role and what he is capable of. Going forward, this is something I will do more.

“Money dysmorphia” and salary expectations… When my career first started, I got my stock quotes from the WSJ 📰 from the paper copy in the lobby of my CPA firm. But I had to wait until after lunchtime in case a client wanted to read the paper first. Then came Yahoo finance and the rise of real time stock quotes, and eventually a smart phone📱attached to every individual’s hand that was constantly sending market results. Turn the noise down. There is nothing you can do about it anyway. #TheHeadhunters #headhunters #jobsearch #jobseekers #jobopening #jobs #humanresources #hiring #candidates #employment #careers #management #recruiting #staffing #jobmarket #engineering #manufacturing #accountant #finance #metals #mining #heavyequipment #qualityassurance #healthcare
