New Research Tool for HireAbility's Recruiter Network

By Andrew Stock

One of the major paradigm shifts in the staffing industry has been the widespread use of the Internet to locate talent. Since the late 90s, there has been an explosion of job boards and online databases from which to choose. However, subscribing to all of them is just impractical, and sorting through the deluge of candidates available is impossible. Recruiters needed a single tool with the ability to sort this data (resumes) to locate specific talent without spending the extra time to read and search for them manually.

HireAbility evaluated several tools on the market in order to locate a solution that would yield the fastest results, meet the budget requirements of the average small staffing group, and search the highest volume of job boards and resume sources. After evaluating three of the most popular tools on the market, we found that TalentHook fulfilled the evaluation criteria best.

As with any recruiting tool, the goal is to enable recruiters to spend less time searching and more...

New and Improved AccordingtoDanny.com

Danny Cahill went live recently with upgrades and changes to his renowned state-of-the-art training website, www.AccordingToDanny.com. In 2002, Danny launched the website, after more than a decade of providing the industry with revolutionary training products. Danny decided to use the power of the Internet to expand his offering to include a user- friendly, interactive website and web conferencing.

“The commitment to training is often the key differentiator in whether or not a firm can breed a crop of top producers,” Danny told us, "From MRI to the sole practitioner, training is crucial to reaching a firm’s potential. Today’s technology allows us to continue providing the CDs, books, and DVDs our clients have come to rely on, but also offer real-time training. Not only can I bring to market brand new techniques, I can reach more firms faster. And the training is much more affordable than at any other time in history. For the same investment, rather than flying me in once a year, you can have me in your office once a month for an interactive web meeting. Where it used to be that owners were starved for new relevant training material, now you can access the repository of training material my team has spent the last 5 years building. Through our membership website, an owner can get those tools 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."

Hundreds of firms across North America are members of the AccordingToDanny website. Hundreds more attend the AccordingToDanny retreats, selling out the seats. Danny’s ever popular CDs, DVDs, and books are available on his site. AccordingToDanny fuses the tried-and-true methods of recruiter education with revolutionary, cutting edge Internet tools to provide the staffing industry with its most comprehensive and accessible programs.

For the last 15 years Danny has been training and mentoring recruiters around the world, including members of the prestigious Pinnacle Society, an organization of 75 of the top recruiters in the United States. This fall, in recognition of all of his efforts and achievements, Danny Cahill was inducted into the NAPS Hall of Fame, after being hailed the "Most Popular Trainer" of all time. So if you don't know about Danny, you ought to.

Miss J - The Thanksgiving Episode…

In 1620, Miss J's relatives locked up their Plymouth hovel and clambered onto the good ship Boyyouwereduped (Welsh for “Tranquil Seas,” they were told). Thinking they were embarking on a package holiday to Spain, they put on their little 17th century Speedos under the pilgrim garb and went to look for the ship’s bar. Little did they know that a couple of months later they would be landing on a pile of rocks and lunching on crustaceans (served in a wild berry vinaigrette) with the locals. After a particularly nasty bout of food poisoning (along with the scurvy) they felt they had little to be thankful for. Not only that, but they also lost their deposit on the hotel!

But here, in the present day, Miss J ponders on their "rocky" start and gives thanks for Virgin Airlines and the free sleep shade and cozy socks. Her own journey to these great United States was a little more comfortable. She stops her ponder and delves into the massive mailbag full of the thousands of questions that she gets monthly. Diving headfirst into the bag, she scrabbles at the bottom for a question with a Thanksgiving twist. After half an hour she emerges from the depths of the bag, hair awry, triumphantly holding a post card above her head…

Dear Miss J,
I have been in this business for years and on the whole it has been good to me. But I have had enough! Another candidate just pulled the "I have another offer which I am going to take" carpet from beneath my feet! ARRRR! What am I getting out of all of this? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Talk about Thanksgiving, it’s I who feels like a turkey — trussed and stuffed!

Sincerely,

Feeling Foul from Turkey, Kentucky

Dear Feeling Foul,
Now calm down… This is the business that we are in. We sell a "product" that walks, talks, and has needs and wants. We have to expect that from time to time this will happen. The only thing we can do is to sit back and go over the whole thing and look at what we did right and what we did that we might want to do differently another time. So be thankful that you can use this as a learning lesson and that if you did something incorrectly, you are unlikely to do it again!
