10 Questions With Recruitment Consultant Anna Talmy of Marksman International Personnel

10 Questions With Recruitment Consultant Anna Talmy of Marksman International Personnel 2 Anna Talmy is a recruitment consultant at Marksman International Personnel. A number of former job seekers recommended her to me, so I was glad when she agreed to this interview. 1) How did you get into recruiting? When I graduated from university I walked in to Reed Employment agency (in Staines, England) and told them all the elements that would make the ideal job for me at the time. They asked me to interview for them and the rest is history! 2) Tell us about Marksman Personnel. What are your specialties? Founded in1982, Marksman has worked with hundreds of leading Israeli companies of all sizes and markets as well as international companies starting to trade in Israel; in providing them with the highest quality English and multilingual speaking candidates. We specialize in Marketing, Sales, Finance, Administration, Customer Service and Technical Writing recruitment and are currently expanding into Executive and Hi-tech placements too. 3) What do you typically do upon receiving a candidate's resume? We ask all candidates to apply for specific vacancies advertised on our website (all vacancies are listed) to ensure that we recruit for suitable positions for each candidate. Once we receive a CV in reference to an open vacancy we reply as soon as possible with an invitation to register with the relevant consultant here at Marksman or we send a rejection email asking prospective candidates to keep looking at our website in the future. Once we have registered that candidate we can start to talk to them about specific vacancies and hopefully start sending their CV forward to our clients. 4) How important is a candidate's level of Hebrew for you? It depends on the position and we do have a lot of vacancies that don't require any Hebrew at all. However, I always recommend that my candidates continue to improve their Hebrew (if they don't already have a high level) because it improves their employment options as well as their integration in Israeli society. 5) If I live outside Israel and am planning on moving here, when should I first contact you? Once you are living in Israel with an ID (teudat zehut) or unrestricted work permit. Marksman's policy is to meet all candidates before sending them forward to clients (incidentally we try to meet all our clients too). 6) Can you name one of your pet peeves as a recruiter in Israel? The reluctance of employers to discuss salaries at the initial recruitment stage, it is almost impossible to find a suitable candidate without the guidance of a salary range. 7) What can job seekers do to make it easier for you to find them a job? Check your CVs before sending them, a CV is your main marketing tool, it's surprising how many candidates don't use spell check. Make sure that you meet the requirements of the positions that you apply for, they come from our clients not from us. Learn Hebrew if you don't speak already. Keep checking our website and remember that Marksman wants to find you employment; we only reject CVs when they are unsuitable, it's not a personal choice! 8) What do you think of the Open Letter to the Recruiters of the World From Job Seekers Everywhere? As the article says, we are all job seekers so obviously I understand the frustration. In general, I reply to all applications, unfortunately we are not technologically supported enough to offer a search and match facility for all applications at this point. Omitting the request for that service from recruiters I would definitely add my name to the end of that letter! Recruitment consultants are often in the same position as job seekers, waiting for recruiters to respond with the added frustration of unhappy candidates to answer to on the other end. 9) What's the weirdest tactic that worked on getting you to notice a candidate? In all honesty, 5 years in Recruitment and nothing really out of the ordinary so far… 10) What is the best way to contact you, whether as a candidate or as an employer? I prefer to talk to candidates and employers over the phone, however that's not always possible. Email is a foolproof way of getting a response. (Although I meet with all my employers and candidates in person before I start working with them) Thanks for your time, Anna. You can reach Anna and the others at Marksman via their website at www.marksman.co.il. If you liked this article, you'll enjoy 7 Questions with Sally Shiff, Recruiter for Nisha Global.

Let Jobs Magnetically Come to Your Personal Brand 4 New Solutions - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Let Jobs Magnetically Come to Your Personal Brand 4 New Solutions - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career The job and career development sites just keep getting better. Ive been speaking of the goal of personal branding for a while now and my prayers have finally been answered, or so I hope. Basically, the end result of personal brand management is recruitment based on your brand. Instead of proactively searching for jobs, your visibility will magnetically attract employers to you. If you have experienced a success story relating to how building an online brand has secured you a job, please email me and I may use it as a case study for my new book (still top secret). Aside from constructing a blog and participating in various social networks, here are 4 solutions for attracting employers to your brand effortlessly: NotchUp : To me, this website is genius and I wish I would have thought of it a while ago, with my knowledge of personal branding and my various theories. Anyways, you get to set a price, relative to the total value of your personal brand, for major companies such as Google to interview you. They have a calculator to help you set a price and I used it and came up with over $2,000. That being said, if you have 1 5-20 years of experience in a specific industry, you could charge a lot more. NotchUp is in private beta right now, but if you email me, Ill send you a VIP invitation! _ JobFox: The mind behind Careerbuilder.com is back and with a vengeance. Rob McGovern has transitioned from his old company and started JobFox. JobFox has a few features that make it stand out from the crowd. First, you can have a private profile, so your current employer cant see your activity and you can attach a resume and follow leads through your cell phone. It also has a tool where you can map out your strengths for employers to see what youre interested in. _ Jobs in Pods: Chris Russell does it again. When I first started blogging, Chris was there to support me and has ever since. Its hard to even track how fast Chris moves, from his blogs, such as Recruiting Fly, Blog for Jobs, and of course Secrets of the Job Hunt. His current project has really gotten my attention. He has taken recruitment to the airwaves with Jobs in Pods. Basically, top employers such as ATT talk about what its like to work in a position they are hiring for. Its a personal touch and you can apply for the job if youre interested. _ Standout Jobs: Ben Yiskovitz is another person who Ive watched for a while now, with his Instigator Blog. You can learn a lot about a companies, with corporate pages that show videos of what its like to work there and it lets you subscribe to company news. The big differentiator is that you can interact with companies through comments. I see this as being a resource for a job seeker that wants to shop before buying.

Cheaper - Career Pivot

Reader Mailbag - All They Want to Hire is Younger/Cheaper - Career Pivot All They Want to Hire is Younger/Cheaper This is the fifth ina series called Mailbag, wherein I respond to readers’ questions regardingcareer issues. This month, we have a question abouthow to deal properly when hiring managers or the higher-ups just want to make offers to younger/cheaper candidates. Marc, The hiring manager (or perhaps forced by the higher-ups) is looking for younger and cheaperâ€"how can we Boomers get around that scenario? My experience and education are in non-profit management. I have had multiple interviews, but I haven’t been able to land an offer. Sara Sara, I want you to think like a negotiator whose aim is to get the best deal. In order to do that, you need to understand what the hiring manager’s real issues are. This has to start from the very beginning of the interview process by asking a lot of probing questions. Read the following post, Probing for Pain Points in an Interviewto learn more about probing questions. Your questions should be open-ended, which mean they cannot be answered simply with a yes or no. Read the following post, Questions That Power The Negotiator Job Searchon how to construct open-ended questions. One of my favorite questions for the hiring manager is: What keeps you up at night? If you can get the hiring manager tospill the beans, you can then position yourself to sell your real value. If they are looking for someone who is younger/cheaper, then you will need to sell them that you not only can do more but that you are worth it. I spell out this process in the Negotiator Job Search series. Marc Marc, I am a former Chief Marketing Officer for a healthcare company.I have now been out of work for one year and am looking at both finding a new marketing position as well as the potential of starting a new business. Do you have any advice? Dominic I spoke with Dominic and found out that: He had been very highly compensated The portion of the healthcare industry he worked in is currently in a high degree of flux Age was a factor Dominic, Given your level of compensation, it does not surprise me that a year has gone by and you have not yet landed a new job. A goodrule of thumbis you may have to wait one month for every $10,000 of salary until you find the right thing. This may only be arule of thumb, but you also have to remember that there are very few jobs in the country at your former salary level. Even though you say you will take less, no one will believe you. If you want to find a J-O-B, you will likely need to “date” to get a job.Start a consulting business. Yes, you will need to form a company. Then consult for companies that are capable of hiring you. You can read more about this process in my post, 3 Ways to Date to Get a Job. Many people in your shoes say, “I do not want to be a consultant.” You have to look at it as a means to an end. If you want to start a business, there are three directions you could take. Buy a business. Find a good business broker and explore whether purchasing an established business makes sense. I encourage you to find agood business broker. This is someone with a good track record who understands business valuations. Buy a franchise. Contact a franchise representative from either Entrepreneur Source or Frannet. You may have todatea severalof these representatives to find one you like. Do not make the franchising decision on your own. Start your own business. Start by contacting yourlocal Small Business Development Center for help. These centers are funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and are FREE! Whether you want to work for someone else or work for yourself, the road will likely lead to some form of entrepreneurship. It might be short-term indating to get a jobor long-term in running your own business. I hope that helps, but at your age and salary level, you have a big mountain to climb. Oh, by the way, there are a lot of others just like you. Private equity firms are buying up small to medium size businesses, ejecting the entire C-Suite (CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO, COO.., ) and bringing in their own people. You are not alone!

Why You Should Be Concerned About Data Privacy If You Work In Business - Sterling Career Concepts

Why You Should Be Concerned About Data Privacy If You Work In Business Why You Should Be Concerned About Data Privacy If You Work In Business For many of us, data privacy isn’t the first thing we think of when we wake up in the morning. For those of us working in the business industry, however, we may want to rethink this. Caring about the way we protect the data of ourselves, our company, and our clients are vital and also lawful. Information privacy laws were enacted to prohibit information on private individuals from being either disclosed or misused. Because these laws are only partially regulated in the U.S., many concerns still arise when it comes to protecting an individuals data in the 21st century. Certain industries such as the healthcare and financial sectors have higher regulations set in place, whereas data transmitted in business is oftentimes more freely managed. Your employer likely has guidelines set in place to help follow this act, however, it’s up to you to fully ensure that you are protecting your own devices and files to the best of your abilities. When it comes to protecting your personal data, there are many things to keep in mind, particularly in the workplace. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to always take precautions with your digital activities both online and off. Do Not Overshare Refrain from sending sensitive information in emails or online chat rooms with other coworkers, even if you have a trustworthy relationship with the recipient(s). It’s very important to be cautious of the information you are sharing and who you are sharing it with. Should someone intercept your message, you wouldn’t want it to get into the wrong hands. Many of the data breaches that companies face each year occur because of a weakened access point in an employee’s device. Criminals who gain access to this will use the data to extort, spam, hack or steal your identity. What you should avoid sharing at work: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Location Data Financial Information Passwords Social Profiles Be Aware of Scams Unfortunately, scams happen in businesses daily. They can be extremely costly for employees, employers, and clients. Cybercriminals often use phishing emails as a way to access the network and gain the data that they need to commit an identity theft related crime or extortion. Carefully review any email that you receive which seems out of the ordinary. Criminals have found creative ways to make an email look like it’s coming from an internal employee. These are known as phishing emails. They will typically ask for sensitive information, so always verify any questionable emails with your IT staff before responding. Create Strong Passwords The first step to keeping cyber criminals from accessing your personal data is to prevent them from accessing your devices and accounts in the first place. Practice strong password hygiene and update your passwords regularly. The password that you use at work should never be the same as any that you use for personal accounts/devices. It needs to be strong, unique, and a mixture of numbers, letters and if possible symbols. If an account or device offers two-factor authentication, take advantage of it. This provides an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. With this setting, if someone other than yourself tries to access your account, you will be asked to verify the login attempt with a security code to prove that it was you. Protect Your Devices For any device that you use for work, it’s important to equip it with the proper software. This goes for laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. They all have their own unique needs for protection but it’s important to make sure that your company provides these resources to you. Having an antivirus program installed on your laptop will help to keep viruses, malware, and other harmful downloads from gaining access to your device. If you work from home at all, you will need to ensure that your home network is secure enough to operate your work functions on. If you are unsure or may be working in a public space, especially when traveling, you should consider a virtual private network to operate on. This will encrypt your data by changing your IP address, therefore helping you keep criminals away. It’s also important to update this software and any applications you may use regularly. Typically, new updates for the programs on your devices are released every so often to increase the se curity of the program. Therefore, it’s important to make sure you are operating on the latest version. Use Common Sense When you walk away from your device at work, lock it. Whether you put it to sleep or completely close it you don’t need anyone reading your screen while you are away. If you travel for work, make sure to invest in a lock and utilize the safety in your hotel room for your devices when you leave the room. Backup Data Annually on March 31st, World Backup Day is hosted as a way to remind individuals everywhere and of every profession to take time out of their day to back up their devices. It’s a simple thing that many of us forget to do, yet it’s quite important. Should you ever have your device crash or a virus takeover, you’ll want to have a backup of all of your important files, photos, and documents. Remember that although your employer and IT department work hard to ensure that you are safe online, when it comes to data protection it’s ultimately up to you. You are the one who needs to ensure your information doesn’t end up in the hands of a criminal or even a competitor.
