A Bucket List is a list of things, goals, and dreams you want to achieve in your life, to do before you die. Making a bucket list will get you closer to accomplishing those things that you want to do. For some people, writing down a bucket list could be a silly thing to do or it could seem like you are wasting your time. But when you see your goals on that list, you will be more focused to reach them. It will be fun to cross them off, because it’s a great feeling to achieve something. It is […]

By the Empire, I mean a company with a bad reputation. If you are a recruiter or hiring manager for a company with a good brand and reputation, it’s easy to hire people for your team. Almost everybody wants to work for companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Yahoo. But, on the other hand, if your company has a bad reputation, hiring can become an enormous challenge. You begin facing rejected offers, and worse, possible candidates may decline the first interview or refuse to come back for a second interview. A bad reputation will cost time, and money and prevent […]

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything. – Mark Twain In this article, I would like to briefly discuss the topic which I consider important not only for recruiters, but for everybody who is a part of the interview process. Surely, I’m not the only one who knows, in practice, the role of “lying” in the process of proper assessment of the candidate’s qualities. Over the years in recruitment, I read through several books and articles about this topic. It was literature that dealt with the purpose, meaning and function of “lies and lying” in interpersonal […]

Have you ever heard about the Memory Palace? You might have seen Benedict Cumberbatch use it on Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock used one of the best and most effective memory techniques called Memory Palace, the Method of loci, or the mind palace technique.

What Is the Memory Palace Technique? The memory Palace technique (sometimes called The Method of Loci) is a method of memory enhancement […]

Sometimes, the grass is not always greener on the other side for employees, or sometimes, companies are trying to get back their best employees back on the payroll again. There are benefits and drawbacks to hiring back employees, sometimes called boomerang employees. Hiring a boomerang employee could save you time and money for training, and these employees are also valuable to an organization because they understand the company culture and can bring a fresh perspective from the outside. During their absence, boomerang employees can learn new skills. But hiring boomerang employees is not cheap or easy. And not every employee who […]

Every agency or corporate recruiter is using LinkedIn as a primary tool. It’s simple, fast, and you can reach candidates pretty easily. Other recruitment sources are job boards, Google, and so on. But not every great candidate is on LinkedIn, for various reasons, and not everyone can be found by Google X-ray because Google is not able to penetrate the whole internet and all forums. Since technical forums are quite often password-protected and therefore invisible to Google, Bing, or Baidu, you can only locate those by using Booleans and advanced operators. But you cannot always access these websites, because they […]

Everybody has dreams, but are you going to add your dreams into this graveyard or are you going to turn your dreams into reality? What if your dreams are here for a reason?
