Ready, Aim, Fire!

What's left of the recruiting industry is ready for 2010~
So many agencies have given up the ghost- it is enough to depress even the most optimistic recruiter. But many of us have been shining up ours shoes, so to speak... and investing in our infrastructure, and working on making 2010 our best year ever. And your 2010 much better than 2009!

So, make it your New Year's resolution to :
*As a candidate, reach out to network with recruiters as well as others who can facilitate your finding the next job
* As a hiring manager, reach out for the help of independent recruiters to fill those positions you have been toiling with on your own and not filling (now that you realize it is not as easy as you thought :^)
* As a CEO, recognize how much time your managers are wasting in the recruiting process - they are not getting their own work done because they are not using outside, smarter resources for these activities
* As a Corporate HR Leader, ditto the above - you are in charge of smart resource allocation, so start practicing it!
As a Corporate HR Leader, think about smart ways to leverage your current staff through other use of outside HR Consulting resources (you don't need to hire employees - use a consultant for just the projects that you need completed now)
