Reputation is everything in the hiring process.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about the knock-on effect that happens when a candidate only puts half their energy into a coding challenge. Don't burn your bridges before they're even built!

If you post or send something online, there's every chance that people will see it, share it or screenshot it. Once it's out there, it's there forever.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're sharing the details of a seriously unprofessional email that Arash was sent recently. What would you do if this happened to you? We want to hear!

Our job is to deliver high quality candidates to our clients. Beyond that, everything is out of our control.

If a client decides to hire our candidate? Great, but it's not our choice.

If a candidate decides to leave that job a few months in? That's unfortunate, but again... not our choice!

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're asking why recruiters are on the hook when hiring decisions go wrong. How fair are guarantee periods for recruiters?

In this episode of The Talent Tango, I had the pleasure of speaking to Gem Garcia.

Gem is the Founder of Spectrum Talent Management Consulting. Spectrum is dedicated to providing "holistic consulting to early stage startups". This includes developing a unique brand identity and company culture to attract exactly the right talent for that business.

Gem's consulting process begins by asking the all-important question, "Who are you?", something she picked up in her twenty years of agency and in-house recruiting. You'll hear more about how Gem leverages this focus on branding and culture to develop ultra personalized talent acquisition strategies for her clients.

For Gem, building out teams aren't just about filling roles quickly. In this episode, you'll learn how Gem's talent acquisition strategies focus on creating "teams that become families." Listen in to hear more about how Gem uses this approach to give high-growth startups an edge against their Bay Area competitors. This includes focusing on selling a company's projects and achievements instead of their perks, moving away from metrics-driven recruiting and developing detailed and thought-out D&I practices.

When do recruiters become 'trusted advisors' to their clients and candidates?

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about how every recruiter can go beyond the roles and responsibilities of their typical day-to-day and become consultants for the people they work for. It helps to establish trust and build long term relationships with candidates and clients alike.

What hurdles have you overcome?

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about what risk-taking looks like in a career-setting. What training and support do you need to be successful? How do you get over the need for everything to be perfect?

We're 'paid to be pros' at our job. That added pressure might make it difficult to rip off the bandaid and try something new. But everyone has to start from somewhere, and sometimes taking that leap of faith might be the best decision you could ever make.

We want to hear about the achievements you've made after taking risks!

It's a lot faster to text someone back than it is to respond to their emails or voicemails… especially if that someone is a recruiter!

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about the benefits of leveraging text messages to reach candidates quickly. People are glued to their phones. So when a text comes in, there's a pretty good chance that it'll flash across your candidate's screen while they're looking at it.

So you find the perfect candidate, their background is impressive, their skills are great… but they get rejected because they don't show enough passion for the company.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about why business founders need to understand that employees aren't going to bring the same level of enthusiasm to their business are they do. They haven't put the same amount of blood, sweat and tears into this business as the founders have, and that's to be expected! Passion for an industry is great, but passion for a company only really develops on the job, not during the interview process!

Do you know how well your job portal is doing? Who is looking at the traffic analytics to determine that?

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're asking how effective career portals are for companies who could be producing other, more useful content for job seekers instead. Candidates are trying to understand what they are going to be doing and who they will be working with. Companies are spending massive budgets on a career portal that gives candidates an incomplete picture.

Everyone loves going on PTO. Heck who doesn't!

But what about the work and people that aren't taking time off that have to pick up the slack.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about what happens when someone is out of the office and the rest of the team has to show up. You have to have processes in place to make sure there is a clean handoff and continuity when the person returns.

Amir and Arash Bormand are the Co-Founders of Elevano, a California-based recruitment agency that does things differently. From managing client and candidate relationships to improving your productivity and time management, the Daily 10 gives you an insight into the day-to-day of agency life.
