Tapping into the Hidden Job Market

By Gail Fritzinger

A client recently told me that she wanted to “find” the hidden job market but did not know where to start. So, what defines a “hidden” job opportunity? Why are these positions “hidden?"

An interesting HBR … [Read more...]

Effective Managers Do These Three Things

By Chris Medici

As a manager, you are in a tough spot. At times, it can feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, you must understand, support and ensure your team’s share of the organization’s goals are achieved, no matter what. And, on the other hand, you must understand and support your team members to ensure they have what they need (such as information, resources, buy-in from senior management) to achieve the goals that have been assigned to them. When things are going well – … [Read more...]
