As a hiring manager, pre or post-pandemic, a top goal when making new hires is creating a productive onboarding experience. Now more than ever, what can you do to support new talent, especially on the leadership level, so that they'll hit the ground running?...
Many business leaders are contemplating a full or partial return of their employees to the office post-pandemic. As they consider all the variables involved, they tend to categorize employees in two groups: those who are eager to return and those who are opposed. As executive recruiters, we work with clients and candidates who are experiencing either extreme, or somewhere in between…

When it comes to your career, sometimes "up" isn't the only direction you should be traveling.

Below are some tips to make a new job a not-so-distant reality for you:
There have been many trends that developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic… can you say “TikTok, Peleton, leisure-wear, Zoom fatigue, work-from-home”?...
As life and work begin to morph into a new normal, what can we expect on the talent acquisition and recruitment front when it comes to hiring trends for the last quarter of 2021?
Zoom Video Conferencing (or Skype, GoToMeeting, Microsoft Teams..the options are endless)..Before the pandemic, some people had never heard of or used Zoom. Consider it the new normal now. This part of the candidate interview process is not going to go away any time soon, and will likely be here to stay.
We’re still living in a pandemic. But the hiring must go on—fingers crossed—which means many of us will be subjected to virtual job interviews. It’s just one more aspect of remote work, right? Wrong. On the contrary, an interview conducted via video call requires just as much effort as an in-person one, if not more, especially if you want your virtual “conversation” to go smoothly.

Hiring a new employee is an exciting time for both employee and manager. The first few days and weeks on the job are an essential part of the introductory period. Yet, a poor onboarding experience can ruin a new job for any employee.

I am a remote employee (have been since way before the pandemic) and wonder what the landscape is going to look like post-Covid as employees start getting their jobs back after being furloughed and workplaces start to find their new “normal”.
While searching for data to share with you, I found statistics in which I am positive will impact the working environment as we know it:
In my recruiting practice- one of the first questions I ask a candidate is why they are looking for a new job or are open to new opportunities...
The #1 answer, in one form or another, is that they currently feel underappreciated.
As we reflect on the last year (crazy to think it has been a whole year since we were told “10 days of quarantine would flatten the curve”)- let’s remember to thank our employees. A few words of appreciation will go a long way. The pandemic has been hard on everyone- emotionally, socially, economically- but I marvel at people’s continued perseverance.
To that end, I wanted to take the opportunity to to shift our focus from the negative to appreciating what is positive. So, take a moment to stop, say 'thank you' and read the top 5 benefits of gratitude in the workplace I recently came across…
