I’ll admit it: I’m probably somewhere in the running to becoming LinkedIn’s #1 Fan. I’ve even been known to call LinkedIn “my new best friend” from time to time. Why? In the professional world, LinkedIn can open up a wide range of opportunities.
So you’ve decided to start up a temporary/contract staffing company, and you would like to know what’s involved in ensuring success in your new venture. To follow are 10 tips for making your new venture a success.

The most common daily production tool is now the Smartphone. It is hard to remember that just 10 years ago we were lucky to have a laptop that we could use for remote work. You cannot go anywhere today without seeing someone staring into a Smartphone. At traffic lights, on highways, elevators, on dates, well, you get the point. And this technology has its strengths and weaknesses of course. Being always connected can be a distraction. How many of you cite social media recruiting while checking your friend’s Facebook photos?

Want to start with a disclaimer here: this is only my second blog post, so bear with me. It’s a little bit scary, actually, but if there’s one thing that doesn’t bother me, it’s opening up to the world (as many of you probably know). My problem isn’t knowing what to say about the future of recruiting, it’s where to start. See, I’m a recruiter by trade, so this stuff is in my DNA.
Chemistry between two individuals is another gray area that can be equally difficult to explain. In the context of a job interview, how is it you can have two candidates with comparable backgrounds, experience and skill sets: one the client loves while the other they could care less if they ever see again.
Customer service in medical staffing is a sleeping giant that often times is the killer of giant medical staffing firms. The killer creeps in slowly, gently and harvests its seed in the minds of your clients and flourishes often in the headsets of a disgruntled employee.

If you didn’t see it, Old Spice ran a great marketing campaign last week. Through social media platforms, they asked fans to send in questions for the Old Spice guy (who appears in their commercials) and within 24 hours created over 100 video responses to the best questions they received. This is the best example I’ve seen to date of a brand engaging with their customers and fans in a personalized way.
Your next boss might want to know more than your last one about your personality, thought processes, motivations, work style, values and aptitude for the job. Or perhaps she just needs to screen out three-quarters of the applicants quickly.
