I just sent this blast:























As a former recruiter those four words in that specific order were invaluable to me.


Recruiting is nothing more than a gigantic game of "kiss the frog". You only got paid after kissing the one that turned into a prince. The best way to find more frogs to kiss was to ask the ones you were kissing who they knew that have skills similar to theirs. You could spend an entire day making calls just by asking that one question. Think about it who knows the talent pool better than those working in it? They give great referrals.


For your business to have continued success you need great referrals. For you to find the career you seek, you need great referrals.


The best way to get great referrals is to understand exactly who you want to meet and ask the relationships you have who they know who could make that introduction. These four words are also helpful if you want to ask in a more general sense as well. As an example: "who do you know who owns a restaurant?"


These four words make it easier for your network to sort through their mental Rolodex. And the easier you make it for them to do that, the easier you make it for them to give you a referral.


hiredMYway.com is super cool


Got to visit with the CIO of this amazing company earlier this week. They are about to turn the staffing business on its ear (and it needs to be turned). Instead of the lofty recruiting fees all going to the recruiting firm, their model splits a much more modest fee into thirds. One third for the person who refers the hired candidate. One third for hiredMYway. And one third for the person who gets the job as a signing bonus. Now that is totally innovative!!!


If you're seeking a new position or an employer looking for a new hire check out the HIREDMYWAY site. And if you know some folks looking for work be sure to check out their posted jobs. Who knows you may be able to find your friend meaningful work AND get up to a 2000-4000 dollar bonus. Not bad, eh?

Good stuff TB!  I would also be happy to work personally with employers looking for more information on hiredMYway.  We are currently selecting companies to feature on CBS Detroit Job Desk and Crains Job Front to bring more exposure to their job openings.


As always, I look forward to the next MCC Live event!  See you soon ;o)
