I know lots of people are trying to get their hands on Denison Avenue. I’m told lots more stock coming to local bookstores, libraries and online retailers very soon. E-books are available! And I see there are some copies at Toronto bookstores for folks there! #canadareads

Zoe is down to 1 eye and needs a name to suit her 🏴‍☠️. All suggestions welcome. Gothmog is my fave so far.

It costs $0.00 to be authentic and curious about people. Digging into the cool stuff people do is one of the most fun, and natural way build your network.

[Joel Lalgee @Humanheadhunter]

Great Talent values flexibility more than ever before,

Picking their schedule/work hours,
Deciding where to work from,
Being able to attend to life without providing a "doctor's note"

This requires trust from companies.

Those that understand this, will win the war for talent.

Recruiters describe 2023 in one word…

I'll go first

Bloodbath

[Katy Innes @katyinnes]

@Adam_Karpiak I would ask the hiring manager to give an example of a previous employee they managed and how they helped them on their career path.

If they don't get excited talking about someone then it seems like they dgaf about their employees future.

[Adam Karpiak @Adam_Karpiak]

The amount of recruiter posts on LinkedIn complaining about candidate behavior and threatening that companies/recruiters in the industry “talk” is gross.

Imagine being so bothered by a stranger that you go out of your way to hurt their chances of employment elsewhere.

Grow up.

[Job @Jobvo]

Looking for Full Stack Developers in the Toronto area! Start-up is very early. If you are not afraid of shifting priorities, able to take ownership end-to-end and work with a small team focused on building, let me know. Stack is TypeScript, Next.js & Hasura. Hybrid opportunity.

[brett liu @brettreedd]

Saw a viral post on LinkedIn about someone rejecting candidates because they didn't dress up fancy for a Zoom interview.

Imagine thinking that someone wearing a blazer over their tshirt all of a sudden makes them a different person? More talented? More "professional"?

Yikes.

@Larissakholmes @alanarodrigo Thankfully no slide tackling in the rec league! Still contact though. I feel like gen z is respectful on the pitch. It's helpful to have a medical professional on your team just in case...

[The Jobfather ® 🇯🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧 @TheJobfather__]

Don't even take an interview unless they answer the salary question honestly.

Ask “What is the budget for this position?”

If the range is $60,000 - $100,000 ask them what a $60k candidate looks like vs a $100k candidate.

[Adam Karpiak @Adam_Karpiak]

Companies, if you’re worried that your remote employees aren’t giving 100%, you’re hiring the wrong people.

Making them work on-site isn’t going to change that.
