Talent Agents For A Players, Guerrilla Style

Tuesday, 09 March 2010
The "A Players" in Business Can Now Receive The Same Quality of Talent Representation Enjoyed by the Hollywood A List Every Hollywood Celebrity walking the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards has one thing in common: a highly skilled talent agent to help promote and manage their high-profile careers. Now, for the first time, this same level of Executive Career Service is available to the "A List" in business. A new podcast interview on TotalPicture Radio presents David Perry and Kevin Donlin, the founders of a radial departure in career development: The Guerrilla Job Search Executive Agent Service. David Perry (PRWEB) March 9, 2010 -- Think about this: Does any business or industry self-promote better than the motion picture industry? Now, two veterans of executive search and career development are using Hollywood smarts to coach, market, promote, and place "A List" executives. In a new Career Transition interview on the popular career and leadership acceleration podcast TotalPicture Radio, David Perry, executive recruiter, author of Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0, (Wiley, 2009), and Kevin Donlin, Co-Director at Guerrilla Job Search International, describe the Guerrilla Job Search Executive Agent Service. This has little to do with traditional executive outplacement. In a word, their approach is "unconventional." Perry celebrated his 1000th executive placement last year. Donlin is author or co-author of five books, and career columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Executive Onboarding? According to Bill Epifanio, 'Closing the Sale is a Delicate and Revealing Process'

In a recent Leadership Podcast on TotalPicture Radio, Bill Epifanio explains his approach to "making the right offer, closing the right sale, the right way," when presenting a key executive with a job offer. Epifanio, a top level executive search consultant, specializes in the Clean Tech, Renewable Energy and Financial Tech sectors.

Westport, CT (PRWEB) November 18, 2009 -- In a Leadership Podcast on TotalPicture Radio, Bill Epifanio explains his approach to "making the right offer, closing the right sale, the right way," when presenting a key executive with a job offer. Epifanio, a top level executive search consultant, specializes in the Clean Tech, Renewable Energy and Financial Tech sectors. He is managing partner with Stratis, a human capital consulting and search firm.

Most economists agree the economic recovery we've experienced in the U.S. has been relatively "jobless." Recruiters are blunt with their observation: 2009 was a terrible year for staffing and executive search firms, and the HR industry. In a new &quotOnboarding Experts Series" podcast on TotalPicture Radio, Bill Epifanio offers a more nuanced, more strategic assessment. Epifanio plainly states, "There's always a talent war for A players, most of whom are happily and successfully employed."

Management Performance Expert Charles S. Jacobs: "Another teachable moment emerges from Cambridge, MA."

Charles S. Jacobs

If the leadership at the Boston Hyatt Hotel properties had read Charles Jacobs' new book, "Management Rewired," they might not be unraveling in a public relations disaster. According to Jacobs, interviewed on Total Picture Radio, "neuroscience shows the old tried-and-true management practices can be self-destructive in today's resource short, emotionally wrought business environment." The attitude Jacobs sees too often is, "Don't bother me with the truth. I'm busy."

RPO: For Jobseekers, Recruiters, and Companies, a Paradigm Shift in the Hiring Process

According to Mary Claire Ryan, Principal of Riviera Advisors, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), has transformed human resources, the recruiting industry, and how companies source and hire employees. Once the economy recovers, this will be a competitive advantage for finding mission critical talent.

Mary Claire Ryan

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 24, 2009 -- The concept of RPO (recruitment process outsourcing) became popular in the 1970s in Silicon Valley where the competition for high tech employees was intense. "It was a crazy time when companies needed volumes of positions filled," according to Mary Claire Ryan, Chicago based industry expert with Riviera Advisors. "So companies started then to look, step-by-step, of how they identify talent and sourcing, more of the front end of the recruiting process, and started to let out more jobs that were harder to fill that had greater value to the company. Once the company sees the reduction in overhead costs and agency fees, the RPO solution becomes more of an acceptable option."
