The IT talent crunch and why it’s the CIO’s fault (maybe)
by Steve Elmore on Jun 26, 2008 - 01:27 PM read 232 timesInteresting post on Tech Republic... In order to survive the IT talent crunch, CIOs need to stop looking for people with particular certifications or technical talents. They need to look instead for technical people who are willing to learn. (more) Frankly, I have to agree. In my last professional incarnation I had a "lively discussion" with an IT director who said his group could ... read more -

by Katie Carty Tierney on Jun 26, 2008 - 12:51 PM read 826 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/?p=46I try. I really do. I want to help the nGenera software engineering team so much that I’ve been trying to write Ruby on Rails code. The only problem is, I don’t have what it takes. I’m just not a good programmer. Oh, sure, I USED to be an awesome programmer, but that was before I moved into the frou-frou world of Talent Acquisition. Today, my programming skills are creaky, ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/12/28/im-twitdicted/I’ve been using twitter for many months now. Not only has it been a great tool to help me keep track of my co-workers, but it’s also been an interesting and useful tool in my recruiting activities. I can track certain keywords (”recruiter,” “.NET,” “Java,” etc.), and follow up on people who I think might make interesting candidates. I can also keep up-to-date on breaking news and fun facts by ... read more -

by Katie Carty Tierney on Dec 13, 2007 - 10:47 AM read 904 times
Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/candidate-track...Over the past several months, I have been in the throes of a candidate tracking system selection and implementation process. It was a daunting task. There are hundreds of systems out there, and I had to narrow it down to the right one for BSG Alliance. We look at all of our software (our platform for doing business, as it were) as a strategic advantage. We needed a candidate tracking ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/facebook-and-bu...I’ve been on Facebook for a while now. I actually got an account on Facebook a couple of years ago, using my Texas A&M University alumnus email address, in order to check up on potential new members for my sorority (yes, yes, I was a sorority girl... we’ve been through this…). Since then, I have found Facebook to be a useful business tool, allowing me to keep in ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/why-i-love-bsg-...First, I have a crazy sense of loyalty to Steve Papermaster. The man gave me my first job out of college, and kept in touch with me in the intervening years. When he was ready to start BSG Alliance, he asked me to be a part of his team, even though I’d been out of the paid workforce for 6 years. He’s engaging, funny as ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/no-shows-and-no...About two months ago, we had two people not bother to show up for interviews at our New York office. I had set up the interviews, the interviewers had made an effort to be available, and I had confirmed with the candidates two days earlier that the interviews were still scheduled. And yet, they didn’t bother to show up, nor did the bother to call and let us know that ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/resume-typos-en...When I was just getting started in the Recruiting business, a very successful recruiter told me that one of his red flags was a typographical or grammatical error in a resume. His point was that a resume is the most important document a person uses to “sell” his/her skills, and he/she should make darn sure that there are no errors. My mentor told me that a lack of attention ... read more -

Overwhelmed by Social Networks?

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/overwhelmed-by-...Here’s my dream… One, central social network. With ways to easily separate friends and business acquaintances. And ways to keep email addresses up-to-date. And link to pictures and videos. And meet new people. Early last month, Tom Steinthal blogged about the Web 2.0 bubble. His very last line is the one that I found most interesting: Bottom line, I dont see a bubble here at all, with the possible ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/recruiterworld/I’ve found myself slowly slipping into a world I knew little about a few short months ago. A world where there are new and wonderful things to discover, and terrifying unknowns lurk around every corner. I’ve slipped, deeper and deeper, into Recruiterworld. Yes, Recruiterworld. The King of Recruiterworld is the elusive Candidate. Sometimes, King Candidate is “active,” strutting with his tail feathers spread wide for all the minions in Recruiterworld ... read more -

Source: http://txaggie94.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/offshoring-the-...A friend of mine is looking to make a career change. She posted her resume to Monster, and was very specific about several things: She wants to stay in her hometown of Denver, but she would consider opportunities in Austin, TX. She is not, under any circumstances, looking for contract work. She likes long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners. Oh, wait, that’s her eHarmony profile, not her Monster ... read more -

Now, I can sit down and write a little review of the Recruiting Roadshow Unconference. Overall, let’s just say that it was not a waste of time (scared you, didn’t I, Paul?). In fact, I gathered so much good information, I think my little newbie head might just burst. The morning ... read more -

I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s noises or smells invading my workspace. I only have to worry about the odd smell from the baby when he gets to close to my office door. But, he can’t help that. He’s only 14 months old, for goodness’ sake. I am isolated from the distractions of ... read more
