Devoted to recruiting, finding top recruits, and hiring tips and advice

With "Joblessness in Utah is at a record low 2.5 percent" (Salt Lake Tribune, 11/14/06) many companies who've avoided recruiters like IRS Auditors are having to re-think their strategy.

Speaking recently with an executive of a local company, I was sung two verses of an increasingly familiar tune:

1. We don't work with outside recruiters because we don't like "paying the fees".
   - and -
   
2. Our recruiting efforts--job postings, job fairs, university recruiting, etc.--are simply not bringing in the caliber of candidates that we need.

There's no question that recruiters cost money.  But, hiring a headhunter is choosing to value your time more than your money.  (Afterall, as Jim Rohn says, you can always make more money, but time--once spent--is gone forever)
