Essential recruiting questions for 2023
A wave of layoffs. A possible recession looming. The world is about to show companies how good their recruiting process really is.
There’s a better way to recruit executive talent.
You know the traditional approach to recruiting is flawed. It was created in a different era, to service a different world than the one we find ourselves in now.
Stop expecting the job fairy to find you that amazing job.
You’ll never get your dream job that way. There’s no job fairy who, while you sleep, creeps into your home and lays the perfect job offer under your pillow.
“Baa” to culture fit
You see it all the time. “Culture fit” as part of a recruitment ad. And it’s time to rethink that phrase – or at least redefine what it means.
Stop thinking you’re not interviewing – you are negotiating for your professional future.
Shhhh! I am going to need you to promise to not tell anyone what I am about to share.
It’s April. How’s your DEI program coming?
We’ve had Black History Month. Women’s History Month. And now, it’s April – a month tailor-made for talking about the bottom-line value of diversity in the executive suite and boardroom.

This is a job for men.
Women’s History Month is the perfect time for men to step up. Women’s History Month should not be women arguing the case for diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. This is a job for men.
It’s Women’s History Month and all I got was this lousy LinkedIn post.
March is Women’s History Month. All month long, we see posts celebrating the contributions of women in business and in society. Female CEOs are highlighted, women founders are honored, glass ceiling breakers recognized, across LinkedIn, on news sites, TV, and more, all deservedly so.
Stop selling yourself short.
Stop answering the one question that every candidate is asked. As a candidate, never answer the question of what your salary range is first. When you answer first, most of the time you are leaving money on the table.
This Black History Month, let’s take a moment to remember why diversity matters.
First, the obvious. It’s morally right to give Black people recognition for their long-overlooked accomplishments and contributions to society.
It all starts at the top.
You can debate Trickle-down economics, but I think we can agree that an organization’s vision, values, and culture all begin at the top of the company.
