Last month 5,313 people searched for the term "mechanic jobs near me" on Google.  Yet - almost every client I work with in the Material Handling Industry can't find enough technicians to fill open positions.  It is time that we start looking at recruiting in the same way we market our products.  Rewriting job descriptions to be search engine friendly can drive more candidates to your website.  #recruiting #leadership #digitalamarketing #employeeexperience

Reminder: there is no requirement that you ONLY post your paid work experience on your resume. You can, and should, also post any skills, hobbies, or volunteer work on your resume that pertains in some way to the position you are applying for. In fact, the experience that is relevant to the position you are applying to is what you want to be most careful to include on your resume. Hiring managers are all different, but virtually all of them will be looking to see if you have some experience that is related to what they are advertising for. (This is why blasting a hundred different resumes in today's world is such a harmful aspect of work environment. It's best practice to pay attention to the jobs you are applying for and carefully detail relevant experience.) For example, suppose you are applying for a mechanic job or a manufacturing job. Let's assume you've always worked in an office environment, but you spend much of your weekends helping your dad work on cars. Or maybe you grew up on a farm and had to constantly fix things. Be sure to include those things on your resume if they pertain to the job that you are applying for. #hiring #resume #jobs

There's something incredibly rewarding about finding the perfect job for someone. It's more than just filling a position – it's about seeing the potential in a candidate and matching them with an opportunity that can transform their career. Being a recruiter means being an advocate. It means fighting for my candidates, ensuring they get the recognition and compensation they deserve. It means understanding their goals and helping them achieve more than they thought possible. The best part? Seeing the impact. Witnessing someone thrive in a new role, knowing I played a part in their success – that's the ultimate reward. To everyone that has put their trust in me to find their right match- thank you! #recruiter #staffing #changinglives #careergoals #advocacy #skilledtrades #maintenance #welding #engineers

You don’t use recruiters because they can do something you can’t, you use them because they can do it quicker than you can. With enough time and resources you can probably fill that vacancy. It’s not rocket science. But the time you spend you spend doing it is highly likely to cost you more. In terms of hours spent, projects/business lost and strain on the existing team. Now this doesn’t go for all roles, certain roles you 100% are better of doing internally, as they don’t take up much time and wouldn’t be critical hires. Think of it like this. If my car tyres run out of air, I’m not going to go to a mechanic because I can easily fill it up myself. But if I need an engine rebuild, I can probably spend weeks and months trying to learn how it works, getting the parts, ordering the tools, trying and failing till I eventually get it. Or…. I can take it to a mechanic who can get my car back up and running within a matter of days. Just food for thought. #recruiters #recruiting #hiring #recruitment #time

If your boiler is knackered, you don't get a 'handyman' to fix it. If you're having an extension on a property, you don't use a 'handyman' to build it. If you have a 40ft oak tree you need chopping down, you don't call a 'handyman'. If you have a burst pipe and there's water p*ssing through your living room roof, you don't call a 'handyman'. You'd call a boiler engineer, or a builder, or a tree surgeon, or a plumber. Handymen are great for basic/generalist tasks, but they're not a specialist. Same goes for recruitment. If you have a niche, tough-to-fill role, why would you use a generalist 'handyman'-type recruiter? "We specialise is sales, marketing, HR, finance, engineering and tech" No you don't, you dirty little liar. You don't specialise in anything. You'll work on anything you can get your hands on. Get an expert to help. Makes sense, right? #marketing #headhunter

Job seekers, it's time to take another look at that résumé! Tip of the day: Take the time to describe your job responsibilities. For example, machine operation could be defined in many different ways, but as a recruiter, I want to know what types of machines you have used. Forklift? Backhoe? Manufacturing equipment? List your responsibilities clearly for each position in your work history, and don't be afraid to brag on your accomplishments. This will give recruiters a clearer picture of whether your experience may be a good fit for their open positions and will increase your chances of getting an interview for the right job! Examples:
