Welcome to an Inside Recruiting edition of Total Picture Radio with Peter Clayton. Last week, while having lunch with Lauryn Franzoni and Robyn Greenspan from ExecuNet, the conversation turned to up-coming recruiting events, which lead to Lauryn asking me, "Have you heard about RD?" (I hadn't). Everyone working in HR and recruiting knows RD, (no last name needed). He was the leader of Kennedy Information's Recruiting and Career Media Group. RD recently joined The Tarsus Group, and is responsible for the expansion of Caroo Media USA, a rapidly growing division of the Tarsus Group with a portfolio of b2b exhibitions, conferences, publishing and online media properties across multiple global industries. As CEO of Caroo Media, RD is currently orchestrating the expansion of Onrec in North America, and joins us with an update on the Onrec Conference.
Total Picture Radio Interviews a Recruiting Industry Legend - Lou Adler
Lou Adler
According to our guest, Lou Adler, "If you want some quick insight into a candidate's technical competency, motivation level, and team leadership skills, start by asking this two-part question: 'Of all of the things you've accomplished in your career, what stands out as most significant? Now could you go ahead and tell me all about it?' Getting the correct answer to this question can tell you 65 percent to 75 percent of everything you need to make an accurate hiring decision."
This guy should know the answer to this - and about any question you might have about the hiring process. Adler is a noted recruiting industry expert, national speaker, and columnist for a number of major recruiting Internet sites including HR.com, ERE.net, Kennedy Information, Workforce magazine, and AIRS. His Amazon best-seller Hire With Your Head (John Wiley & Sons) started the performance-based hiring and selection movement. Peter Clayton was able to track down Lou at the Kennedy Information 2007 Conference and Expo, to ask some questions of our own!
