Keep up with the latest hiring trends!
Forget about recruitment memes, and quitting cakes, today we’re bringing you something just a little bit different as a Friday treat. We’re bringing you some sweet Friday jamz, oh yeah!
The following songs make it onto our ultimate recruitment playlist and should inspire you in your day-to-day recruiting activities:
Work – Ciara
It’s your chance now/ Girl you better dance now/ It’s your time to show it all/ The spotlight is on you, you better…/ Work work work work
9 to 5 – Dolly Parton
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you/ There’s a better life, and you dream about it, don’t you?/ It’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it/ And you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet
Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
Don’t stop me now/ I’m having such a good time/ I’m having a ball/ Don’t stop me now/ If you wanna have a good time/ Just give me a call
Countdown – Beyoncé
We be making love in 5/ Still the one I do this 4/ I’m trying to make a 3/ From that 2/ He still the 1
Takin’ Care of Business – Bachman-Turner Overdrive
I’ve been taking care of business/ Taking care of business and working overtime/ If it were easy as fishin’/ You could be a musician
One Way Or Another – Blondie
One way or another/ I’m gonna find ya/ I’m gonna get ya/ get ya
Getting To Know You – ‘The King and I’ Soundtrack
Getting to know you / Getting to know all about you / Getting to like you / Getting to hope you like me / Getting to know you
Once you’ve tracked down the perfect candidate, you’ll need to woo them, be confident in your knowledge of their industry, understand who they are through social sites and find “uncommon commonalties” that form a bond between you and the candidate. But above all else, wear it well. Show the world that you are an expert in what you do. Shout it loud from your social profiles, get testimonials from candidates that you have placed, get endorsements from clients, heck, get gold stars from your primary school teacher! – whatever is takes to get your personality, expertise and credibility across.
At Last – Etta James
At last / My love has come along / My lonely days are over / And life is like a song
Some Recruiter That I Used to Know – Adam Edwards
You can get addicted to a certain kind of recruiter/ Like one who gives you a pen, always a pen/ I thought it meant it was a sign of lust/ But you were just trying to gain my trust/ And then I found that you were working on commission
Happy Friday Recruiters! Next week we’ll be bringing you more recruitment news, the long awaited Part 3 of our ‘How to: Recruit Tech Pros on Twitter’ series, and a look at how the internet has changed since 2004. See you then!
