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."

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."

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."

Paul J. Bailo

(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 23, 2009 -- In a new podcast on Total Picture Radio, Paul Bailo, founder of Phone Interview Pro and author of The Official Phone Interview Handbook, tells listeners how to ace the employment phone screen and win in today’s Hyper-Competitive job marketplace.

Paul Bailo has been there himself: Unemployed, sitting in the outplacement office. “I was working for the sixth largest Internet company and they had a big downsizing, I was impacted,” he told producer/host Peter Clayton in a new career podcast on Total Picture Radio, a popular Internet radio show. “I was in outplacement and it occurred to me that as I spoke to people, everyone had said when you go for your face-to- face interview, this is how your resume should look, this is how you should dress, but no one actually looked at what has become an essential first step in the process, the phone interview. So I said to myself there must be a need here for people to do real research on the phone interview.”
