HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MITIGATE UNCONSCIOUS BIAS IN SOURCING

With 78% of talent professionals and hiring managers saying that diversity is
the top trend impacting how they hire, it is critical to take measures to remove
as much bias from the hiring process as possible. While there is no shortage of
opinion that AI can be applied to reduce or remove human bias in hiring, there
is a simple way … Read More


SOCIAL ENGINEERING: THE HUMAN ELEMENT OF SOURCING & RECRUITING CANDIDATES

Social Engineering: The Human Element of Sourcing and Recruiting from Glen
Cathey Why is the “Boolean Black Belt” writing and presenting about social
engineering? Well, it’s actually quite simple. It all started over 20 years ago
when I began working for a small, privately held IT staffing firm in Northern
VA. In pursuit of becoming the top performing recruiter, I … Read More


VIDEO: DISCUSSING AI IN SOURCING AND RECRUITING

I recently had the chance to participate in a Google Hangout with Jeremy Roberts
of HiringSolved as an introduction to the speakers of their upcoming conference
on Feb 7 in NYC (HIREconf). You can watch the recording of our chat here or play
the video below to learn a little about my background and my thoughts about the
evolving role of technology … Read More


TALENT MINING – UNEARTHING VALUE IN HUMAN CAPITAL DATA

There are people in the HR/recruiting industry who believe that searching
databases, the Internet, and social networking sites to source talent is
relatively easy and that it can be automated through the use of technology.
While those people are actually right (to an extent), I am happy to say that
unfortunately for them, it’s not that simple. While anyone can manually write or
automate basic searches and find … Read More


THE BEST BOOLEAN AND SEMANTIC SEARCH TOOL

While many people are hungry for specific Boolean search strings to copy and
paste and for search tools that make searching for people “easier” and even “do
the thinking for you,” there simply is nothing that can come remotely close to
what you can do when you think properly and ask the right questions. That’s
right – the most powerful … Read More


HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO RESPOND TO RECRUITING EMAILS & MESSAGES

When it comes to sourcing and recruiting, it’s gotten easier to find people but
it’s gotten more difficult to get people to respond to emails, InMails, social
messages and voicemails. The poor quality and lack of sophistication of most
recruiter messaging, along with rampant spamming, certainly hasn’t helped.
Unfortunately and yet somewhat thankfully, the bar of what people expect to …

LINKEDIN’S NEW NON-BOOLEAN SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY

I originally published this post on LinkedIn, but am reposting here to ensure my
blog readers catch it. When I attended LinkedIn’s Talent Connect 2015 conference
in Anaheim, CA and I was able to take some video of Eddie Vivas, Head of Talent
Solutions Product for LinkedIn, formerly the Founder and Chief Product Officer
at Bright.com (acquired by LinkedIn), talking about … Read More


SOURCING & RECRUITING CANDIDATE FUNNEL & OUTPUT CALCULATORS

Have you ever wondered: How many resumes, social profiles, names, etc., you have
to identify to result in 1 hire? How efficient your sourcing/recruiting/hiring
process is? How many candidates you need to submit to fill your position? How
more effective messaging/engagement strategies and tactics can measurably
improve your efficiency? How wonderful it would be if you could educate your
hiring … Read More


HOW TO USE FACEBOOK FOR SOCIAL RECRUITING MESSAGING

  When it comes to sourcing and recruiting, you should not ignore the potential
of Facebook given that it has 1.38B monthly active users and 890M daily active
users. Also, you should know that according to Jobvite’s 2014 Job Seeker Nation
Report, 76% of social job seekers found their current position through Facebook.
 Jobvite also found that while job seekers … Read More


VIDEO: MY THOUGHTS ON SOURCING & THE FUTURE OF RECRUITING

  At LinkedIn’s 2014 Talent Connect event in San Francisco, I had the
opportunity to be interviewed on the topic of up-skilling recruiting teams.
Watch this short video to hear my thoughts on the ideal sourcing/recruiting team
alignment, critical skills for any recruiting team, and the future of recruiting
(hint –  it has something to do with data).


IMPORTANT FACEBOOK GRAPH SEARCH DEVELOPMENTS

  It is difficult to ignore the potential of Facebook when it comes to sourcing
and recruiting given that it has 1.38B monthly active users and 890M daily
active users. When Graph Search was introduced back in 2013, it was an amazingly
powerful people sourcing tool.  However, recent changes have somewhat reduced
its efficacy. While some people might think that … Read More


INSIGHTS FROM LINKEDIN’S 2015 GLOBAL RECRUITING SURVEY

  Job boards vs. social media: What’s the most significant source of hire for
companies globally? LinkedIn recently surveyed over 4,000 talent acquisition
leaders in 31 countries, gaining insights into source of hire, quality of hire,
quantity of hire, talent brand, the future of recruiting and more, so if you
haven’t already downloaded and reviewed LinkedIn’s 2015 Global Recruiting Trends

FACEBOOK’S HIRING SURPRISE IS GOOD FOR SOURCING & RECRUITING

  Nearly a year ago I stumbled across an interesting post on LinkedIn that
revealed that Facebook’s single biggest recruiting focus was NOT what most
people would assume. Can you guess what it might be? Software engineering? Nope.
Infrastructure? Wrong. People and recruiting? Not even close.


HOW TO GET UNLIMITED LINKEDIN INMAILS

  If you have a premium account with LinkedIn and haven’t been living under a
rock, you are aware of LinkedIn’s InMail policy change which will, for most
people, reduce the total number of InMails they are able to send. However, their
new policy does open up the possibility of unlimited InMails, provided you can
achieve a 100% response rate. … Read More


LINKEDIN RECRUITER SEARCH RESULT DISCREPANCIES EXPLORED

  Irina posted an interesting piece on discrepancies in search results between
LinkedIn Recruiter and a free LinkedIn account which prompted me to do a little
digging as I don’t think I’ve ever come across materially different results in
actual use. While the discrepancies are definitely interesting, and I would love
to know exactly what’s causing them, I don’t find … Read More


TALENT42 KEYNOTE: BUILDING TALENT PIPELINES

  In theory, building a talent “pipeline” sounds like an ideal strategy,
ensuring that you always have a steady supply of the talent you’re looking for.
In reality, there are many issues with building talent pipelines, and they all
“leak” extensively. I recently delivered the closing keynote at the always
excellent Talent42 technical recruiting conference where I explored the core
issues associated with … Read More


HOW TO FIND ACTIVE & PASSIVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS ON STACK OVERFLOW

  Do you source and/or recruit software engineers? Would you like to know how to
find software engineers on Stack Overflow who are actually interested in hearing
about new career opportunities? For free? If you answered YES!, YES! and YES! –
you’re in in luck, because I am going to show you how to find active and passive
job seekers … Read More


SOURCING VS. RECRUITING – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

  While you may not  know that Balazs Paroczay recently posted a rebuttal of my
proposed definition of sourcing, I strongly suggest you read his argument, as I
appreciate his perspective as well as the fact that he disagrees with me on the
definition of sourcing and I’d like to hear your opinion. I believe disagreement
is important and valuable, … Read More


TWITTER SOURCING TOOL TACTICS CLOUD SHUTS DOWN

  I hope my blog post wasn’t somehow the kiss of death for Tactics Cloud, but in
only a matter of weeks after writing about how awesome I thought their Twitter
search solution was, they will no longer be offering Tactics Cloud as they have
decided to focus our efforts on new opportunities.” Although Derek Zeller
discovered that you could still … Read More


EXCELLENT NEW TWITTER TALENT SOURCING AND RECRUITING TOOL

  Do you leverage Twitter in your sourcing and recruiting efforts? If NO – I
strongly recommend you read my 14 Tips on How to Use Twitter for Social
Recruiting and see the two comments from Matt Chiasson. If YES – would you be
interested in a better way to search for and find people in your target talent
pool on Twitter? Look … Read More
