When Is Onboarding Complete?

2023-05-30T14:22:17-04:00How To, Job Efficiency|

The onboarding process does not end when the employee signs the new hire paperwork. Onboarding includes everything before and after that point, from the interview to the training process and it should be taken just as seriously for the employer as for the employee. Studies have shown that for a 100-person company with an average salary of $60,000, the turnover replacement cost could range from $750,000 to $3 million. That is not an amount to be taken lightly. Check out our suggestions for an effective onboarding process that will make for a successful future! […]

No Call No Show = Missed Opportunities

2023-05-26T10:45:44-04:00Behind the Scenes, General Job Search Advice|

Honestly one of the worst things you can do in your work life is a “No Call, No Show (NCNS).” This could apply to an interview, a phone call, or a scheduled shift, and it essentially means that you do not show up without notice or a reason given. This is not a good habit to get into so if you have found yourself committing this act, stop. It’s a slippery slope and like we’ve said before you never know where life will take you. You may think simply not showing up to the interview is no big deal and [...]

A recent Forbes report concluded that of the average 118 people that apply for any given job, only 24 people will advance to the interview stage of the process. Of those 24 candidates, only one will ultimately be selected to fill the open role, leaving over 100 candidates amid job rejection (roughly 90 of which with no feedback for why they’re not being considered). In this blog, you will find a list of ways to navigate job rejection from application to post-interview keeping you on a path toward success. […]

Ghosted

2023-04-17T08:48:00-04:00Behind the Scenes|

If you’ve fallen victim to a candidate or potential employer “ghosting” keep reading. This unfortunate habit that surfaced through the abandonment of dating your newest Tinder interest has peeked into the professional realm. People would rather succumb to their apprehensions than find answers and it’s affecting not only job seekers and potential employers but recruiters too. I’m not singling out candidates who are ghosting interviews or job offers, I am also shining a light on companies who are ghosting candidates’ post-interview with no reason as to why they do not want to move forward. The [...]

Common Interview Questions & the Answers They’re Looking For

2023-02-24T08:32:56-05:00Acing the Interview|

Interviewing for a new role can be nerve-racking, to say the least. It’s like going on a first date – trying to find a balance between saying the right things while simultaneously being yourself. It’s important to feel as prepared as possible to alleviate your angst and (hopefully) conclude the interview with a potential job offer. A great way to put your best foot forward is to have a general idea of the interview questions that could be asked and mindfully prepare your answer ahead of time. […]

Interview Etiquette 101

2023-02-08T12:26:06-05:00Acing the Interview, How To|

It has come to our attention that interview etiquette has gone stale. If it wasn’t already obvious, a poor interview is a 1-way ticket to an impending job search (and likely a long one if you lack interview etiquette). Interviews are like snowflakes – no two are the same. However, there are dos and don’ts that apply to all interviews and if carefully followed, could bring you success. […]

Phone Screen 101

2023-01-13T10:13:10-05:00Behind the Scenes, General Job Search Advice, How To, Resources for Job Seekers|

In many recruitment processes, employers narrow down the applicant pool before scheduling interviews by conducting phone screens. Not to be confused with a phone interview, phone screens occur after employers and hiring managers have reviewed resumes and cover letters. Typically, those who appear to be qualified for the position will be phone screened and potentially invited to schedule an interview thereafter. While it’s not an interview, it is a sign that you may be qualified for one or more available positions. […]

Are You Shorting Your Recruiter

2022-12-09T10:21:04-05:00All About Recruiters, General Job Search Advice, How To|

Did you know that over 70% of all jobs are not publicly posted on job boards, LinkedIn accounts, etc.? Many of these job openings are attributed to the creation of jobs for candidates proposed by a recruiter. Even more interesting, over 80% of all open jobs are filled through networking with a recruiter. Connecting with a recruiter is beneficial for both immediate job placements as well as future opportunities. The question is when you contact a recruiter, are you providing them with information relevant to your job specifications/requirements? […]
