    None of those are competitors of ours - those are all different tools HR departments use for different purposes (Benefits, Applicant Tracking Systems etc). Staffing/Recruitment is a small piece of what HR departments do - as you know they also do a lot of other functions, mostly internal...

    Almost never - as long as we already have mutual connections. If it's a referral and can't reach them on the phone, then I'll send a LI connection request with some context - but very very short - 2-3 sentences max. I saw a lot of posting on this thread about using LI to post content on. I do...

    AI is nothing new. Staffing firm I worked at 20 years ago spent $250k on software CIA was using for profiling - was junk. AI is making people lazy - recruiting/staffing IS sales, nothing more, nothing less. Where people get into trouble is thinking staffing/recruiting can be done with...

    Applied for 100+ jobs out of college in the newspapers - interviewed with a long established company in the industry and they had 20 openings across the country and I was one of the 6 they hired for the office I started at - there were 1,200 applicants and it was a 6 interview process.

    IDEA PEOPLE WEB/DIGITAL 
    To be honest, most of the people we find are assets, very senior experts in the area we are staffing. If contract staffing, they are usually the best of the best as most work as contractors for decades. Very few are liabilities, although I vividly remember one who demanded a 33% increase in...

    Was a member here for many years but rarely posted. Then I had seen the posts the last number of years had a lot of noise around them and rarely visited, so kudos to MJ for finally locking down the forum. I've been in the staffing industry for over 25 years, running my own firm for over 10...

    Getting Rid of Cold Calling Anxiety Using Brute Force

    GOLD! 
    The Francophile, Thanks for letting me know about those studies. I need to go and let my bank know that the big cheques I deposit or are wired directly into my account by my very large B2B clients should not be accepted or are fake. I should also let High end auto dealerships know that...

    Getting Rid of Cold Calling Anxiety Using Brute Force

    GOLD! 
    Please do not take this personally but that last post is some of the most incorrect information I have ever seen. Sure, the internet is great, Google etc, but to say cold calling doesn’t work is misleading people that could benefit from it. Just because you do not like it doesn’t mean it...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    How about putting your money into a house, then taking a home equity line of credit and using those funds to buy the rentals you want? You can write off the interest, take part in appreciation, and get the rentals. You get the best of both worlds. It doesnt have to be either/or unless you...

    I thought about that but I don't think so as I gave her exactly what she wanted and increased it by 10% to cover Upwork's fees.
