As a recruiter, are you putting your best foot forward by marketing and sharing your Most Placeable Candidate(s)?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Most placeable candidate (MPC) is a term used by the recruiting industry to describe a candidate that the recruiter is willing to represent into a market because the recruiter believes they can place the candidate with a company.
So, are you sharing your MPC’s? Or are you sharing candidates you just happen across in your daily searching?

It’s no secret that employers and recruiters alike struggle to get the right job seekers to convert to applicants. One big problem is not understanding the difference between job descriptions and job postings (or job advertisements). A job description is an internal document, often full of legalese, and intended to help an employer define compensation, hiring processes, disciplinary procedures and more. A job posting, on the other hand, is a marketing document. It’s an advertisement. While some of the information will be the same in each document, and the terms may be used interchangeably, it’s really important that you don’t *use* the documents interchangeably. Learning how to write better job postings will help you attract (and convert!) the right job seekers for your opportunity. Read the rest of this entry »

From time to time, we hear ‘Recruiting must be so easy.’ The logic is, because candidates are so accessible now through social media like LinkedIn, people think it’s an easy job to “match” candidates to open job requirements. So then we hear of “recruiters” who think that because they purchased the latest and greatest in recruitment tools, they will become a super successful recruiter. It’s true, there are a plethora of tools that can HELP a recruiter – from job boards to applicant tracking systems to CRMs to AI sourcing platforms to assessment tools. But these are only tools on a recruiter’s toolbelt… they are not a “golden ticket” to success. Simply having the tools doesn’t make you a recruiter, just like having a wrench doesn’t make you a plumber. Read the rest of this entry »

In the last year we have seen ever increasing competition for executive talent. What was once the finish line has now been moved.

The period between offer and start date represents a new challenge for future employer and search team as counteroffers are frequently made. Read the rest of this entry »
