So You're Ready To Work Remotely?

The Spirecast ·

2019/12/05

Remote Work. The ultimate. The aspect of a career or company that every millennial looks for and only hopes to achieve at some point. Though, much like every position out there, you’re held to practicing good communication, hitting deadlines, there are metrics to keep in mind, and much more. Naturally there are pros and cons, though it should boil down to one question: Are you a good fit for remote work?

The Modern Resume

The Spirecast ·

2019/10/24

Your resume, or CV, is your story as a professional — on paper. More than likely you’ve had a resume that reads relatively straightforward — like a bulleted list of what you did at each company and for how long. But what are recruiters, hiring managers, and companies with growth actually looking for on a candidates resume that makes them take pause? What are the things that will make you memorable?

What Are Recruiters Looking For On Your Resume &...

The Spirecast ·

2019/10/10

Recruiters are looking for a number of things when they are sourcing candidates for specific roles. There’s obviously a secret sauce to make sure you get into EVERY search, right? Now, getting into the mind of your recruiter may seem like the overall best thing you could do as a candidate. However, the approach may be a bit more based on pragmatism than one would think. Mike and Matt sat down to talk through some of the basics of how they look through the background of an individual.

Non-Competes. What exactly is this document or required paperwork? Often required by an employer at the time of hire or at some point during your tenure. Questions often arise about existing non-competes as candidates seek new employment and what do when this comes into play throughout an individual’s career. We brought in Bryan Jacoutot, a licensed attorney in the state of Georgia, to speak with Mike a bit further on what makes up a non-compete agreement, how they function, and a few other

Video Interviewing: Yes or No?

The Spirecast ·

2019/08/08

In the age of companies moving more towards decentralized teams, remote offices, digital capability, and so on, video interviewing is becoming a far more prevalent option when it comes to sourcing candidates. We see hosts of companies adding video into the process for sourcing potential employees though, much like all things new, it’s not always a “perfect” experience. Perfect example: Have you interviewed a candidate over video and they happen to be in a messy bedroom or noisy coffee shop? Mike
