Making Businesses Better

Job Seekers typically see things from the perspective of their career, and that is understandable, but recruiting is not about careers. It’s about building great companies or making companies better. Great careers and great career moves are a by-product. In a lot of cases we feed the misconception. “Find your ideal job at XYZ Company”. Everyone’s skills are needed somewhere. The key for a candidate is to find the place where their skills and abilities are needed to make an organization better. That’s the best career fit, and that’s the situation where everyone wins. Great work in recruiting is always centered around making businesses better. Todd Kmiec Todd Kmiec and Associates

Starting From Scratch

The good thing about starting from scratch is the clean slate.  You can take a good look at what you are trying to accomplish and then recruit for the people that can get it done.  The potential for success is much greater that way.  Filling holes, recruiting on the run, trying to satisfy a shortcoming on the team……these things do not promote an all out attack on what you are trying to accomplish. But if your recruiting process for filling those needs is starting from scratch, the road can be really long.  A base that you can go to, contacts in the right space, ones that you have recruited or talked with previously, has a lot of value. You want to start from scratch, but you don’t want to start recruiting from scratch. todd@toddkmiec.com https://www.facebook.com/Todd-Kmiec-and-Associates-194864617211094/

Regardless of the talent, he’s been looking and hasn’t found anything for about six months.  He is an experienced candidate and he interviewed recently for an entry level role.  Not the right fit.  The company is interested in him and willing to hire him at the entry level or near entry level rate.  This would be a good $40,000 less than he was making before. It’s a decent sized company and there is room to move up, so my friend asked why he wouldn’t take it.  The thought process is, he needs to work and he can move up.  The problem is, he re-sets the bar at the lower level.  On his next move, internally or externally, he’s at that level and the comp offered will be based on that.  It’s a long haul to get back and nobody every ...
