Counter offers are often knee jerk reactions to an unexpected resignation. But whose best interests are really being served?I am in my 35th year of recruiting and have tracked many counter offer situations; recruits I found who shared with me their last counter offer experience, as well, some recruits who made the mistake of accepting counter offers when offered positions I recruited them for. To date, I have not found a single person that accepted a counter offer when I had them anothe...
A bonus episode on the candidate side of the desk!You have just cleared the hurdles and obstacles of the interview process, and havesecured the offer that you were hoping for. Just as you breathe a sigh of relief becausethe interview process is all over, you realize that you have to face what could be thetoughest part of the interview process – your resignation. If you truly hate your currentjob and despise your current boss, resigning should be easy. But, if you have been withyour company fo...
What does it mean to say, “I do”, or “I will”, or “I did?” It means just that. When you say, “yes”“ to what culminates a process and now begins the next phase of planning and execution, the other party takes that in good faith and proceeds in good faith, investing the time and money to make it happen. I Accept…The Ethics of Accepting a Job Offer is both about doing what is right and ethical, and part of proactive career management in this ever growing smaller world.In t...
Early in Season One, I had an episode titled “The Pendulum Swings” where I discussed the return of the pre COVID and pre hiring boom job market dynamics. Industry has re-embraced higher standards and practices when it comes to hiring, and that includes the return to formal interviews that are behavioral, situational and performance based. Those who are not prepared for these types of interviews may find themselves struggling to answer the interviewer’s questions. I am persona...
Recently, I had three different individuals who were dropped in the first interview because they did not answer that question very well. All three were highly interested in the jobs they were interviewing for, but the inability to answer that question to the hiring manager resulted in a “no go” for each. In this episode, I will discuss how to answer the question, whether you are proactively looking to leave or have left/been asked to leave the position you last held. The Recru...
A continuation of my last episode on job loss – how to be prepared for it and what to do when it happens. I promised guests on my show who would lend relevant experiences to all of you who are listening. My guest in this episode is not only someone who can lend some firsthand experiences and advice, he was the inspiration for this two-part "mini-series." Joining me this time is a long-time client, Mike Manahan, who found himself unexpectedly on the job market in January of this year.&nb...
In the good times and the “not so good” times of the economy, job loss happens. I have worked through several hiring booms and several hiring busts over my career. I was a hiring manager myself in the mid 80’s in Pittsburgh, PA while the area was still feeling the pains of the steel industry’s setbacks. I have recruited in the hottest of markets, and I have experienced Black Friday, the implosion of the telecom industry, the dot com bust and a few other downturns. Most recently, &...
As the employment market rebounds, I am seeing multiple job offers in the hands of most recruits my firm is working with. In this episode, I will discuss how to handle and keep multiple offers in play, how to evaluate them, and when it is time to accept one. And no, seldom is it the highest salary offer that becomes the auto pick! Another strategic advice session is available on The Recruiter’s Review. The Recruiter's Review.

Episode Ten is the Season One finale. Joining me in this episode are three hiring executive guests. Todd Beemer sales leader in the banking/credit union technology field, Brook Mansfield, a global marketing leader in the financial data and consulting field, and Bill Zoli, a human resources leader in the manufacturing field. Bill has some great advice about virtual interviewing. All three speak openly and candidly about their experiences and expectations. All three also answer the...
A dual trend I am seeing is a return and increase in the administering of assessments and surveys to interview processes, and resistance on the part of some candidates to complete them, for reasons ranging from test anxiety to feelings of them being intrusive and demeaning, or simply that they are too time consuming. This episode explains these assessments and surveys, the do’s and don’ts when taking them, and why they work to YOUR benefit, as much as the company that has asked you to t...
Chances are, you have already signed one and chances are even better that you will be asked to sign one, or all three. And that is whether you change jobs or remain with the job you have now.These agreements have become more common place, and even in the “right to work” states, they do have teeth. Yet, we are still moving people to their competition, and I am seeing people clear up to the senior executive level moving into roles with their competition. While these agreements appear rest...
This episode is to stop you from making any rash decisions to cancel an interview or not attend a next interview because you read or heard bad things on a Glassdoor review, or heard some negative information about the company.Don’t cancel that interview or withdraw before your next interview because you heard or read something about the company or someone there. A shorter episode yet with extremely important advice. Please, take heed and don’t make the mistakes I have seen others make.&...
The first interview and what you do – or don’t do – before, during and after, plays a big role in the employer’s decision to advance you, or not. Building upon my last episode, I will be discussing the first interview strategies, correspondences and pre interview exercises that make people stand out and win second interviews.This episode contains my proprietary advice that is shared only with my select recruits going out on an interview. Now, you can hear first hand what I a...
In this episode, I discuss the true importance of your resume and why it will be the strong kick off to your interview process, or the end of it - EVEN IF YOU GET AN OFFER! Also discussed are the key correspondences to be sent after your first interview. In the second half of the episode, we are joined by a pharmaceutical industry hiring executive, Renick Blosser, who will give his views, opinions and experiences on both topics.The Recruiter's Review. Real Talk, R...
In this special edition, I am side stepping from my schedule to get some very important information about a rapid shift in the job market dynamics. While I have seen this before, it has a different feel to me this time. I am talking about recession fears, current layoffs, and a sudden change to employer behavior that should be short lived, yet will leave some long lasting effects. Knowledge is power, and this information should empower you if you are navigating the j...
The next phase of your career journey begins with your decision to stay or to go. And it is a huge decision! If you are now entering or into the job market, stop where you are and please take heed of this episode. ESECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A JOB OFFER IN HAND AND ARE GETTING READY TO RESIGN!! This is a must listen to episode to save you from the pitfalls of hasty decisions and knee jerk reactions (both yours and your employer's!). The Recruiter's Review. Real Talk, Real Advice.Find me ...
The pre season introduction of "The Recruiter's Review." A series for both candidates and employers.I have been recruiting since 1989 and have seen the many changes to the marketplace and the dynamics on both sides of the desk. From the .com boom and bust through the pandemic and the changes COVID made to the job market and labor pool and into 2023, a potential recession and a hiring boom. In both scenarios, the war on talent is going to continue, yet competition for k...
Sometimes you find opportunity, sometimes opportunity finds you. This holds true when it comes to job opportunities, too. Sometimes you find the job you are looking for, other times it finds you by way of a headhunter or an industry connection that reaches out to you. But how do you evaluate it? The money? What?I see many make the money mistakes – saying “no” without full understanding the “money” and saying “yes” because the job paid more than another. Comp plans and quotas ...
In Episode Four, I will discuss winning the job offer, how to set salary increase expectations, how to negotiate your offer, when to accept it and how to keep several job offers alive before rendering your decision. Included in this episode is a short segment that highlights my paper, ‘The Ethics of Accepting a Job Offer.” I close this episode with “The Resignation.” For some, resigning from a current job proves to be more stressful and difficult than the job search an...
