Yesterday, I launched the first of 12 monthly technical recruiting tips. They are called the 12 Commandments of Recruiting. Please go to http://www.strategicsearch.com/technical-recruiting-tips/ to learn more. These will provide you some incite into my recruiting philosophy. They will also demonstrate ways to more quickly fill your jobs.
Most employment managers take a reactive approach to filling jobs in general and technical placement in specific. This flawed approach holds back their efforts to fill technical jobs until an actual job has occurred. Instead, I recommend constantly recruiting whether a job opening exists or not.
I practice what I preach and am always on the look out for good talent even when I do not have a job requirement. This approach builds my resume database with good technical talent. Then when a client calls for a technical placement, I can more quickly surface the right engineer or scientist for that job!
