Hi! Welcome to December. I can’t believe there’s only one month left in 2022.

We’ve got a couple of videos to share with you. The first is an episode of Recruiting 101 where our team discusses how to negotiate salaries. The second is Episode 4 of the Hot Corner. Louie and Dan get together with Joel to discuss Personal Branding.

Recruiting 101, Episode 5 "Negotiating Salary" 

Camille and Kierra are sitting down for a second time to discuss salaries and help candidates negotiate their salaries. They provide resources and tips for preparing to negotiate, how to do your research, and how to make this complicated conversation a little more simple.

The Hirewell Hot Corner, Episode 4 "NILs and Personal Professional Branding"

In this week's episode, Dan and Louie have their first guest, Joel Lalgee, to discuss the topic of Self Branding in a business environment. Joel being one of the most influential "self-branders" in the recruiting space, the guys felt bringing him on to talk about "how to grow your brand" would be beneficial to viewers looking to take their first steps to stardom. They segway the topic by bringing up NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals in high school and college sports athletes.

Thanks for tuning in!

The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 55 "There’s Nothing Wrong With Being Someone’s 2nd Option"

“'If you ain't first, you're last.'” -Ricky Bobby

Talladega Nights is a classic. Love that movie. But it’s a comedy. You’re not supposed to take it seriously.

Yet coming in 2nd carries a stigma. Even in hiring. Companies don’t like being a job seeker’s 2nd choice. Job seekers don’t like being a company’s 2nd choice.

We’ve seen bruised egos cause companies to pull offers and job seekers to decline them. Yet everyone is fully aware: there are a LOT of great companies and job seekers out there.

Jeff Smith and James Hornick discussed why everyone needs to take a breath in Episode 55 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "There’s Nothing Wrong With Being Someone’s 2nd Option."
