2025/04/30

It’s been nearly 2.5 years since ChatGPT was released. Since then, our LinkedIn feeds have been littered with panic-porn telling us if we don’t use LLMs that make us sound like robots, we’ll be left behind. Whelp. They were half right. Wrong use, but perhaps the correct end result. We are–slowly but surely–starting to see the real effects of AI in hiring. Both for the recruiting function, and everyone’s careers. Jeff Smith and James Hornick call out why “prompt engineering” won’t save your

Rolodex. But that’s exactly what legacy firms want you to think. They sell prestige. They sell access. They sell fear. And some companies buy it—because no one wants to screw up a high-profile hire. Here’s the truth: access is the easy part. Executives respond more than anyone. The real challenge? Fit. Immersion. Results after the hire. And most firms skip that part entirely. Jeff Smith and James Hornick rip the curtain off the smoke-and-mirrors world of exec search—and explain why most

2025/04/02

You’re not buying a list of names. Or a database. Or a stack of resumes. At least, you shouldn’t be. But somewhere along the way, a lot of buyers got sold the idea that “access” is still the value. It’s not. Ever since LinkedIn, Zoominfo, and countless contact info clones came around, everyone has access. What actually matters? Judgment. Influence. Customization. Accepted offers. You know, real recruiting. Jeff Smith and James Hornick break down what companies think they’re paying for

2025/03/19

Repeat after me: do not talk politics at work. Or on LinkedIn. Or in job interviews. Or on first dates. Or at Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately for those of us in the business world, 2025 ruined it. There’s just no way around the fact that tariffs are the issue driving the business climate right now. Every client, candidate, and partner is asking about it—or struggling because of it. So maybe, just maybe, talking policy isn’t just okay—it’s necessary. Dare I say, productive. So get ready

The Price of Staying Home - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

Talent Insights ·

2025/03/05

We said we were done talking about remote work… but here we are. A couple years ago, remote was all anyone could talk about. We’re pro remote, but even we got sick of it. Why revisit now? Because the dynamics have changed. Remote work comes with real trade-offs (e.g. lower salaries), which some people are gladly accepting. On the flip side, companies are (inadvertently) paying a premium to bring people back on-site. What’s driving these shifts? Jeff Smith and James Hornick break it all

It’s been a wild few years. One minute, companies can’t hire fast enough. The next, mass layoffs. Can’t find anyone to hire and mass layoffs. We’ve gone from water cooler life to fully remote to back in the office…maybe? The real challenge? Resetting expectations. Let’s be honest—people aren’t great at that.

Manufacturing. So hot right now. Last year we kicked off 21 new RPO and volume solutions engagements. Eight of them came within the Industrial space.

Compensation is a Trainwreck - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

2025/01/15

Compensation discussions are always the same: Workers want more. Companies want to pay less. And somewhere in the middle the two shall meet. But this year is a little extra. After a decade-long hiring boom, we had a pandemic, followed by runaway salary inflation, then a tanking job market (for Office Dorks™️ anyway), and another bounce back (fingers crossed.) Which really means we have some workers unwilling to move from those high paying jobs they landed in 2021/2022. While others are taking
