Jonas Axelsson Are you ready? The job seekers market is about to explode.

Last few years were pretty tough on the American workforce. You could separate all people into two main groups: those who had a job and those who didn't.

Majority of those who had a job were just happy to have one and stick with it, no matter how much they were interested in doing something else or moving to a different company. Because more people were willing to trade their ambitions for a steady paycheck, the job satisfaction indicator fell to record low 45% by the end of 2009. So… Continue

Jonas Axelsson Recruiters: we don't just hire, we give hope

In addition to my regular job responsibilities I have always loved to collect and analyze various data, trends and facts. Here's one fact that's been driving me crazy for quite a while: with a national unemployment rate stuck above 9% we are still having trouble finding qualified candidates. After hours of research I think I just found a reason for that.

Recently I've been wondering how an average job seeker feels about their job search process, so I posted an online poll asking peopl… Continue

Disruptive Recruiting: Rethinking What Recruiting Is All About
by Kevin WheelerJun 17, 2010,

It is time to change the recruiting game. Someone has to reinvent a process that is aged, inefficient, and marginally successful in procuring high-performing employees.

Less than ½ of previous spend. Do you realize what starts with the Big Boys trickles down the food chain. I hope so, because we have seen that happen with VOP, Prime Vendor, Vendor Management, etc. Are you aware that some larger recruiting firms are now getting more than half their revenue by providing services Vs earning pla… Continue
