@RosserJobs Petrochemical and Power focused engineering, construction, commissioning, project development. Direct and project based contractors US and Middle East.

@RosserJobs I will let you know. I didn’t give away my fee either but they wanted a flat number for budgeting. Getting some up money up front and an exclusive search was nice change.

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

Just had a client ask if I would be open to a flat fee instead of a percentage payment.

Was reminded of the tweets I have seen from @RosserJobs about his new flat fee model.

Went with the 10k to begin the search and the rest at start.

Might try that more in the future.

Recruiter: Phone buzzes.

"This can't be good..."

Contractor: "I know for a fact the new contractor is making more money than I am. What are you going to do about it?"

Recruiter: This can't be good.....this can wait until morning."

We are headed to Drake University for the AAU Track Junior Olympics.

Three races the 3000, 800 and 1500, over four days against some of the best 11 year old runners in the country. Win or lose we are so proud of the hard work this one has put in over the last few months.

Recruiter: "Can you complete the drug screening tomorrow?"

Candidate: "Sure."

Two days later...

Candidate: "Can we push it back a couple of days?"

Recruiter's Lesson: Delays usually create more questions than answers.

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

One thing I've learned after 22 years in recruiting...

The best candidates don't interview better.

They prepare better.

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

This will be a hit to the job market

BREAKING: Citadel Securities said it expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this week

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

Recruiter: What is your hiring process for a candidate?

Prospective Client: HR screens the CV then does a phone screen, then the hiring manager does a phone screen, then we have a teams call, then an HR assessment, interview with the owner and then we all meet to discuss before making an offer.

Recruiter: umh, that is a lot of hoops to jump through for a candidate….thinking about the rabbit cage at home.

Great talent doesn’t require this level of indecision.

When the HR lady realizes the guy she denied a 4% raise just took a 40% offer this morning

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

Recruiter: "How did the interview go?"

Candidate: "Perfect!"

Hiring Manager: "We're passing."

Every morning, I walk out to my garden to make sure my two butternut squash are still growing.

Every evening, I come home, see the vines wilted from the Oklahoma heat, and have a brief moment of panic.

Then by the next morning...

They're standing tall again.

Recruiting can feel the same way.

One day, the candidate ghosts you.
The next day, a client puts a search on hold.
The day after that, an offer gets accepted.

My attempt at homesteading…chicken coop, garden and homemade food items.

It’s not as easy as it looks in all the homesteading videos on social media

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

@PEoperator Love that quiet time in the morning. So much better during the school year when everyone is on a schedule.

[J. Kent Hudson @jkenthudson]

Recruiter: "Don't accept a counteroffer."

Candidate: "I never would."

Employer: "What if we give you more money?"

Candidate: forgets every reason they wanted to leave.

Counteroffers don't solve the reason you started looking—they simply delay the decision.

Have you ever seen a counteroffer actually solve the real reason someone wanted to leave?
