I know many of you contemplate career change, but sometimes it can be overwhelming, or seem too hard.

I think it’s a cracker – but I might be biased!

I know I’m like many people when I confess that one of the things I’ve always struggled with, is rejection over the phone.
That’s not good when you’re a recruiter and have to pick up the phone and make a quick connection with someone.
That why someone like Maureen Sharib, telephone sourcer extraordinaire, comes in very handy if you’re looking to source passive talent.
Maureen heads up TechTrack.
Companies hire her to build organisational charts, find names, titles, direct phone numbers and email addresses of people they may want to hire.
Maureen’s known as the pioneer in this area, and well she should be. She’s been doing it for 20 years. [click to continue…]

If you’re in recruitment and finding it a challenge to attract top talent on Seek and LinkedIn, and/or finding it tough to manage the CV’s that do flood in, then I have some very good news for you.
I’ve just recorded this podcast interview with Talent Army’s Troy Hammond.
Troy is a featured speaker at this years #SOSUAU in Sydney.
For those of you who don’t know #SOSUAU is Australia’s number one talent sourcing event.
Troy is an experienced tech talent sourcer.
He founded Talent Army in 2015 to partner up with tech start-ups to source staff, aiming to offer a more efficient higher quality, and cost effective service than traditional recruitment agencies.
Finding teams for this sector can be hard going as many people are not actively looking, and have typically turned off their email notifications on LinkedIn.
On top of this, people who can quickly their feet in the rapidly evolving, sometimes chaotic world of emerging businesses, can be even rarer.
Troy is so highly regarded amongst his niche, that since he started Talent Army, his team have never needed to make a sales call.
They also very rarely advertise for staff for their clients.

I’ve read so much about the benefits of mindfulness and being present lately. But disappointingly much of the discussion seems to be about the benefit for the individual.
Those benefits are all around slowing down and reducing stress.
But what would happen if we practiced that act of mindfulness with someone else?
So when they started to talk, we stilled our minds, and focused on nothing else but trying to understand them.
No interruptions.
No finishing sentences.
No judgments.
No thinking of how we’re going to respond.
We simply shut up and let the other person express themselves in whatever way they needed to, until they needed to finish. [click to continue…]
We’re baaaaaaaack!
