		<title>Small Pockets of Activity Surge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While hiring remains dismal there are pockets of activity and even robust hiring in certain sectors. Our insurance recruiting practice at IRES experienced a pick-up in activity June &#8211; July where one manager-level individual was being hired for nearly seven out of eight consecutive weeks. We don&#8217;t expect this to last however and the remainder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Brother! Am I supposed to feel bad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is but one of dozens of similar articles I have read http://finance.yahoo.com/college-education/article/109701/placing-the-blame-as-students-are-buried-in-debt?mod=edu-collegeprep  The story is always the same. Kid goes to college. Kid apparently was average student and had to pay 100% of tuition. Kid/Student pursues a useless major which any idiot could have told you is not worth the tuition costs. Now student [...]]]></description>

		<title>Insurance Recruiter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you may know one of my largest areas of concentration personally within IRES has been in the role of not only an insurance recruiter but also managing a significant insurance recruiting specialty at our IRES, Inc search firm. Recently a recruiting trainer seemed to believe the insurance industry was immune to the recent 2008-2009 [...]]]></description>

		<title>How H.R. departments can work against you &#8211;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an article on how H.R. departments (Human Resources) can work against its own employees. Nothing knew to those of us that are executive recruiters or in the staffing industry. The only difference is Smart Money now comes forward with it. http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/109371/10-things-human-resources-wont-say?mod=career-worklife_balance]]></description>

		<title>Could Recruiting Associations do Better?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I think about the National Association of Realtors® (which won&#8217;t even let anyone use the word &#8220;realtor&#8221; without the &#8220;registered service mark&#8221; character), I think of a powerful, effective trade group that sends a clear message on the advantages of using a professional Realtor ®.  Same goes for the RIAA (Recording Artists Industry Association) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yahoo finally gets one right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally something I can agree with on Yahoo. It seems instead of re-pasting Associated Press news releases &#8211; (which Yahoo often does) it came up with some news of its own in this rare instance. As I have been saying all along in our newsletters (for those of you that subscribe) there are plenty of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are Online Schools the next group of predators?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First it was predatory lenders. But for the past year, my team and I have noticed an enormous surge of for profit educational enrollment. These are mostly the &#8220;ONLINE&#8221; colleges, like Kaplan, ECPI, Phoenix, etc. etc. They advertise aggressively on TV. On billboards, and all over the internet. Finally a Yahoo article is confirming what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monster, Careerbuilder, Hotjobs &#8211; Are they obsolete?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recruiting-specific publications won&#8217;t let me mention &#8220;Monster&#8221; or &#8220;Hotjobs&#8221; by name due to the fact these companies provide most of the sponsorship to most state, regional, and national recruiting conferences and trade shows.  But that&#8217;s what my little &#8220;Corner&#8221; is for &#8230; speaking up on that which others won&#8217;t allow me to speak up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recruiting and Skills Assessment Uses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great video on the proper way to use skills and profile assessments. I&#8217;ve always been a believer that the right individual with the right attitude can be trained as to deficient skills, while the most competent individual can be impossible to work with attitude-wise. This video (by a phd in industrial psychology) underscores [...]]]></description>
