Trying To Do Our Part

TIME Magazine recently explained Why Unemployment Could Be Worse This Time:
Unlike other economists, [Thomas Lam, an economist who tracks the U.S. economy at the Singapore-based United Overseas Bank] looks beyond the total jobless number to something called employment flow, which tracks the numbers of people moving from the ranks of those receiving a regular paycheck to those who aren’t and vice versa. What Lam has found is disturbing. Currently, people out of work have just a 22% chance of landing a new job within the next month. That already makes this a worse market for job seekers than at any time during the downturns of the early 2000s or 1990s, which is as far back as Lam’s data goes. And remember, we haven’t got to [the projected 8% of unemployment] yet.
This is why, at RCI, we’re trying create opportunities for companies to directly target those workers who have been recently laid off. While it is true that more and more employers are in a hiring freeze, it is also true that hundreds and hundreds of companies are not. Regardless of the slow down in the economy, there is still work that needs to be done.
If you’re a healthcare employer who has openings in any area, take a look at our Virtual Job Fair: Healthcare. We’re working with regional newspapers and unemployment offices to present recruitment messages to the thousands of experienced and certified healthcare workers who’ve been effected by recent hospital closings in Birmingham, Galveston, Detroit, Oklahoma, and Southern California. These are workers who’ll most likely have to relocate to continue their careers. If you’re hiring, we can put your message in front of these candidates.
If you’re a retail employer, you might want to take advantage of the Retail Supplement we’re adding to the Employment Review outplacement magazine, which gets distribution at job fairs and unemployment agencies, and in the HR offices of the companies that are laying off.
If you’re hiring for C-level professionals, or financial professionals, or marketing, supply chain, engineering and ALL other top professionals, then take a look at our special bannered-section in the Wall Street Journal, which will promote your recruitment message to a pool of highly talented individuals who are exploring new career options for the first time in years.
There are multiple options for all of these packages, and they all include postings on our award-winning career site, BestJobsUSA.com, which we recently re-launched with a completely updated design.
And that’s not all we’ve got planned for this crisis. In the coming weeks, we’ll start promoting a special seminar to give job seekers the competitive edge they’ll need to find the right job in a down economy.
For information on any of these opportunities, call (561) 277-1202, or use this web-form to contact us today.

RCI Recruitment Solutions was charged with filling 70 credit and finance positions for a recently established distribution center of adidas Group in Spartanburg, SC within a five-month deadline. Utilizing RCI’s unique recruitment model, adidas Group filled 93 percent of its open positions within 2½ months and RCI completed the job 2 months ahead of schedule.
RCI was commissioned by adidas Group in September 2007 with an agreement to have its new hires in place by March 2008. It needed a recruitment solutions partner that would reduce recruitment costs, improve time-to-hire, and increase candidate quality.
For RCI, “it was business as usual” says Samantha Moore, executive vice president of client services. “We bring a multifaceted integrated approach to recruitment.” Expertise in a variety of areas and offering customized application of those areas are what RCI attributes its success.
For the adidas Group, RCI used its specialized recruiters, sourcing and screening team, unique email and multi-media campaign as well as a customized ATS system to achieve speedy results. Sharon Menzel, manager on the adidas project says, “Our model offers us the tools to source and screen candidates more quickly. Our ATS makes it simple to track candidates. Our whole approach gives us the competitive advantage,” she said. “The wheels are already in motion.”
According to Lorna Frost, a senior regional credit manager for adidas Group, Menzel and her team “have been spot-on with what we are looking for, which will allow us to pick the best of the best. Without her and RCI, this would have been a far more stressful process and for that I cannot thank (them) enough.”

Well, we’ve been on a bit of an hiatus over the last few weeks, making time for summer activities and pausing for reflection. That does not mean we have been lolling around doing nothing, far from it! So stay tuned for updates on some exciting things breaking on the horizon and for resumption of our regular blogging schedule.

Guess what, we’re recruiting!
Parkour represents more than physical agility. It is a metaphor for problem solving, determination and recruiting excellence!
If you can get through the first couple of minutes of this video you’ll see some feats of amazing ingenuity too.
These runners represent the indomitable human spirit that can rise from the ruins of urban blight to conquer the limitations of an unforgiving landscape and “self.”
They also represent the exceptional recruiters who intuitively overcome every obstacle, recruiters who realize that the insurmountable difficulties and problems that invariably arise with a linear process or in a psychic prison can be overcome with a disciplined approach to developing new approaches and an awareness of new dimensions.
I really want to connect with a few exceptional recruiters who not only understand about the “art of displacement” but have this passion for the job built into their sinews.
Do you know any “runners” who fit the bill? Are you a runner?
Send me an email if like.
Oh, yeah, I’m looking for salespeople too.
Travel & Succession Planning: Trippin’ In Washington

I am pulling together some material for a presentation next week. That in of itself is unremarkable especially when you consider the meeting is in Washington, DC and the topic for discussion is succession planning. That kind of thing is big in some Washington circles, you know.
No, what is remarkable is that instead of rummaging through CEO Mike Moore’s desk looking for the stuff he has asked me to print out for him — twice — both of us will now have a place where we can easily find the stuff we know we had somewhere but somehow lost in the shuffle. That place, ladies and gentlemen, will be right here on our site.
For me I can now “tag” documents and find them with a quick search. For Mike, he’ll know that if his hard copy is missing it had nothing to do with my searching high and low, a replacement copy simple enough to print.
Best of all, Mike and I get to share with you the stuff that other people have shared with us:
If you are in DC or around the Beltway, I’ll be in town from Tuesday, March 20 to Friday, March 23. If you think we should meet we can talk about your succession planning or anything else that relates to your recruitment and retention interests. Please email me and let me know what you have in mind.
