The thing I love so much about technology is how easy it has become to connect with people at any point of my day. Just for fun, let’s look at your computer or phone. Count how many different applications you have that allow you to communicate with someone without having to physically be together. It’s …

MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE: Why You’re Struggling to Find Talent

Let me take you back to last weekend when I spent an entire road trip listening to my 5 and 2 year old repeatedly serenade me with the chorus of their new favorite song. That song was none other than Maren Morris and Zedd’s musical collaboration, Meet Me In The Middle. Not only is it …

The Hidden Candidate Market

One of my kids’ favorite games is hide and seek. Everyone knows the best hiding spot is right in the open. Some of the most elite candidates you can imagine are within arms reach, and you don’t even realize it. Recruiters call them The Hidden Candidate Market. Each of them is talented and eager to take …

TIME TO TRANSITION: My Journey into Recruiting

My journey into recruiting was something I never expected. After graduating from college, I made the exciting and often dreadful transition into the job force. Not only did I not use a recruiter, but I thought poorly of the field. I didn’t believe a random person was going to have success finding something better than …

TRANSFORMING YOUR SLEEP LIFE

It’s time to transform your sleep life. I remember those blurry, busy, bootstrapped two years in my 20’s. The ones I proudly talked about for years following. Years when sleep became the lamb I sacrificed in the name of productivity. The days I spent fueled by caffeine and high endurance workouts, desperate for the boost. …

Turning Muddled Goals into Missions

It’s that time of year again. The time for resolutions that you meant to achieve last year, yet somehow the desire dissipated a few months in. It’s ok, you’re not alone. I’m still dropping the same 15 pounds from 2016. However, “resolution” is a funny word. We all use it, but can you define it? …

Unique Employee Perks That Go a Long Way with a Small Investment

Is Kiev on Your Architecture Bucket List… It Should Be

Kiev is the capital of Ukraine, and like most capital cities of Europe, it’s chock-full of incredible historic sites. But when walking the streets of Kiev, it feels like nowhere else in Europe—its architecture is equally as diverse in style as it is compelling and playfully designed. One step, art nouveau, next step, Ukrainian Baroque, turn your gaze, Soviet Modernism. This list could continue—there are over 30 unique architectural styles in Kiev’s metro area alone.

You Aren’t Using Recruiting Agencies Properly, and That Should Change

Most employers think if they engage every recruiting agency they will receive a higher number of qualified candidates and this just isn’t true. If you want to sell your home, you don’t engage with 7 real estate agents do you? To save you time and effort, slow down and partner with 1 or 2 recruiting agencies who invest enough in the relationship to represent your company and brand properly.

Re: My Resignation – Counteroffers are a bandage on a bleeding artery

How many times have you had to give notice to an employer in your life? I venture to guess it is less than 3.
