I talk about honesty a lot, I think it’s imperative in any kind of business. If you’re deceitful and untrustworthy as a consulting recruiter, nobody will work with you. I’ve always been very pro-candidate in my career, meaning I always looked out for the best interest of the candidate no matter what. [...]

Over the years, I’ve learned that certain consultants have a knack for always getting extended at clients, and always finding a gig [...]

I was just on “vacation” a few months ago, and started thinking about how much I really don’t use vacation when I’m on vacation. If you’re like me, you’re constantly sucked in by work, no matter if you’re on vacation or at home eating dinner with the family. If duty calls (literally), so [...]

I think this is a valid question everyone needs to think about. I for one, tell it how it is. I think in the end it’s a good thing. However, I bring this question up because of a few recent situations at work and in life.

Two of the bigger things in life for me are Golf and Recruiting. I’m pretty passionate about both. And since it’s finally freakin’ golf season in MN, I started thinking of the way the two relate. Don’t ask why, I just was. Now, you might think how the hell does Recruiting [...]
