A reminder that we're all in the same turbulent waters, but in very different ways and circumstances. Be intentional with authentic kindness. Habitual generosity opens doors with long-term reciprocity and rooted connection.

As a long-serving 25+ year retained talent search and sourcing partner, my apologies to those who have been impacted by the unethical practices of ”ghost” job posting, “fake” job posting, “deceptive pipelining” and "clickbait" experts. I’m sickened by this consistent disturbing trend that impacts lives, as well as, corporate brands and cultures.

💡 What is a “ghost” posting? Typically job posts by legitimate companies for roles that don’t exist within the organization. Why? …it’s a technique used to demonstrate organizational growth and a way to populate an ATS (applicant tracking system) with talent AKA “deceptive pipelining”. This is one reason many qualified applicants are “ghosted” after applying to a seemingly legitimate job posting. Although unethical in practice, not illegal.

💡 What is a “fake” posting? These are scam job postings used to collect your data (i.e. SSN’s, banking info, personal info). Typically, there is vague content about the position, inconsistent language, invalid links and contact information. Never provide your SSN or banking info and report these to the FTC, your State Attorney General, BBB and the job posting platform. Many of these “fake” posts appear on legitimate job boards. If you have experienced financial loss and/or have shared your personal SSN or banking information, seek legal counsel.

💡 What is “deceptive pipelining”? Deceptive techniques to get talent to apply for a non-existent position so talent information populates an ATS or database. Many legitimate trusted search partners and companies conduct targeted HIGH-touch talent pipelining by contacting targeted talent directly with specific opportunities that are being developed in scope and/or multiple existing opportunities due to company growth and/or succession planning. A legitimate talent pipelining process is very talent-centric with direct engaged communications and transparency.

💡 What is "clickbait"? It's typically a shimmery form of online misrepresentation with a sensationalized headline that may appeal to a vulnerable active job seeker. If it sounds too good to be true....it is. If there is content that quickly engages your emotions, take a step back and ask yourself if it's worth your time and energy.

The job market is volatile. Consistency, trusted partners, communications with a direct intentional approach, cultivating relationships with genuine reciprocity, written endorsements, referrals, direct introductions, strategically navigating your industry knowledgebase, patience and respect will all serve you well.

For 20+ years, I have advised talent that "Naming your softcopy resume is more critical than you may think!"

TIP: Talent acquisition professionals, executive search partners, and hiring managers, receive unsolicited AND solicited resumes in high volume both via direct email and ATS submissions. With this in mind, you want to keep your name TOP-OF-MIND, demonstrate your savvy and style while making it easy for the individual recipient OR ATS to store and retrieve your information. Don't expect the recipient to REname and store your resume, because they likely won't. If your file name all runs together in the same case, the recipient may not be able to easily differentiate your full name. Name your resume LASTNAMEfirstnameMIresume.pdf OR .doc if sharing it via email with an individual. If you're uploading your resume to an ATS for a specific role, name your resume LASTNAMEfirstnameMIdateJOBREFERENCENUMBERtitle. Including the job number and/or title will aid the sorting process.

Sometimes the smallest change can make the biggest difference.

Although some have well meaning intentions, PLATITUDES don't help job seekers or drive clients to service providers.

Being INTENTIONAL with written endorsements on social media platforms, direct referrals, written letters of reference, and direct introductions are far more impactful.

Building a magnetic corporate culture requires a holistic creative strategy.

Holistic recruiting strategies is a topic of discussion in most organizations these days. Identifying, sourcing, attracting and engaging qualified and interested talent in every function at every level, is a growing pain point for organizations of any size and industry.

A little Wisdom Bomb...

🚪 When you knock on a closed door, pound on the same closed door, then try to navigate around the closed door, scale the top of the closed door, or burrow under the closed door....its' time to move on to another door. The right one WILL open.
