We’ve got a few videos to share this week. The first is a recent talent rant. The topic came up in a recent brainstorming session. Our recruiters are seeing behavior that is across the board when it comes to job seekers. Some are terrified to make a move. Some don’t bother responding to messages. Others respond to messages from a year ago and ask if the job is still available (it isn’t). 

The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 66 “Decoding Candidate Behavior In 2023”

Noticing any “odd” behavior from candidates recently? Or is it just us?

Not bad. Just different. Maybe you get far more questions. Maybe your response rates are lower. Or maybe you’re getting responses… from messages you sent a year ago.

So what’s with the shift?

Jeff Smith and James Hornick will explain what’s behind the current mindset and how you can adjust your approach in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 66 “Decoding Candidate Behavior in 2023“

The second video is a new installment called Cracking the Career Code. Matt Mulcahy and Kierra Kohlbeck provide job-seeking tips to help you find your dream job.

Cracking the Career Code, Episode 1 “Standing Out During the Interview Process”

Join Matt and Kierra for the very first episode of Cracking The Career Code. In this episode, they provide insights and tips for starting your job search journey and ways to stand out during the application process.

The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 67 "Inconvenient Truths About Reference Checks"

#tbt to 2021 and Episode 28 “Reference Checks Are Stupid”

Sadly, our first rant on this topic didn’t change the world. Reference checks have come back in a big way.

Our title was a bit facetious at that time. Reference checks are not inherently stupid. But they’re commonly misused by damn near everyone.

So we’re giving it another crack: What drives companies to use them? What true value can you get out of them? And where do they fall short?

Jeff Smith and James Hornick answer these questions with the commentary you’ve come to expect in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 67 "Inconvenient Truths About Reference Checks"
