Your reputation is the opinion that people have about how good you are. Recruiters have little else to go on so, your reputation should be everything! If you are posting jobs to the job board and not responding to applicants, you are damaging the NETWORK's reputation. Candidates who apply to your jobs and don't get a response think NPAworldwide sucks. Job seekers only see the NPAworldwide company name. If you aren't going to respond, please don't use the job board because you're harming NPAworldwide.

Greetings, NPAworldwide. This Chairman's Corner is my last as your Chair. At the upcoming Annual Business Meeting on 7 March, I will be turning over the Chair to my good friend Pam Robison. I will then move to the Immediate Past Chair seat until the 2025 Annual Business Meeting. Serving as your Chair has been an honor and privilege. I would like to thank all of my fellow board members past and present for their support and guidance. And of course a big thank you and shout to our remarkable NPAworldwide Staff. As we get ready to welcome our new President Kerry Crockett to NPAworldwide, I would like to take a moment to recognize our retiring President, the one and only Dave Nerz. NPAworldwide has come a long way under Dave's leadership. On behalf of the entire NPAworldwide Family—thanks Dave, job well done!!!!!!! Lastly, I would like to thank our departing Board Members, Carola Chard, Tim Lane and Roman Duty for their service to NPAworldwide. I have asked them to share some parting thoughts below.

As you know, when you post on NPAmarketplace, we offer an option to place your job on the NPAjobboard. It is expected that there is something unique about your job. For example, it is a low fee job that members would not work, it is a job you have been unable to gain support or candidates for from network partners, or you are doing a job on the edges of our typical executive professional focus. That is something we count on you to make a smart decision on. The NPAjobboard is not intended to replace member-to-member partnerships.

NPAworldwide began experiencing intermittent email delivery issues from our Outlook account about a week ago. After some investigation, we have learned that one of the Microsoft 365-owned servers that routes our email has been blacklisted by a spam filtering company called SpamCop in response to a high volume of spam coming from that particular server. Rather than block the offending email accounts, SpamCop blocks the entire IP address, which prevents a lot of legitimate email from being delivered. This is an aggressive spam filter. If your IT provider uses SpamCop, please contact them and ask for email from @npaworldwide.com or @membernova.email to be delivered, even if it is being routed from a blacklisted server. Unfortunately, this has been an ongoing issue for the better part of a month with little response from Microsoft. You can learn more about the SpamCop blocking list here: SpamCop.net - Blocking List ( bl.spamcop.net )

Technology Tips |
Posted by NPAworldwide Headquarters on Jan 25, 2024
Periodically, it's a good idea to confirm that you are receiving email from NPAworldwide as expected. Here are a few tips: - Add @npaworldwide.com as a safe sender in your email client
- Add @membernova.email as a safe sender in your email client
- Check your spam/junk folders regularly
- Use the Communication tab in your NPA Central dashboard to verify you are receiving bulk email (examples include the Vignette newsletter, sponsored content, meetings promotions and other "mass communication")
Unless there is a delivery failure that comes back to NPAworldwide (fairly rare), we have no way of knowing if our email is making it to your inbox. Email that gets delivered to your server, but not to your inbox, does not generally result in a delivery failure message. This is the vast majority of email delivery issues that we see, and the vast majority (more than 90%) are solved by adding the two safe senders as indicated above.

As we have just closed out 2023, I would like to share some thoughts/highlights of the year. - Stay positive - focus on doing the right things and producing at the highest level possible. Do not be “Debbie Downer” — no one wants to work with those types.
- The market does change - anyone that has been in recruiting for any length of time knows the market is always changing. It is how you react to change that makes or breaks you. There is plenty of work out there for those who can handle getting out of their comfort zone.
- Five things I have learned from Practice Group / Area Leader calls and why you are missing out:

Dear Nicky, I recently filled a role with a candidate provided by a fellow NPA member – yay! It’s a 90-day guarantee and my partner understands that and said they will do their best to help fill the role in the case of a fall-off. The problem is my partner is saying that they will not pay me back the fee if we aren’t successful in finding a replacement. I’m hoping we don’t have a fall-off, but in case we do… aren’t they obligated to pay the fee back to me if we don’t find a replacement? Fearful in Franklin

One of the benefits of NPAworldwide membership is the ability to promote an international capability to your clients, serve your clients outside of their home markets, maximize your firm’s business opportunity by spending your time where the jobs are, and avoiding down economic situations in your home market. NPAworldwide defines “cross-border” splits as deals where the partners are operating in different countries. Here is a story about members that completed a cross-border split.

The holiday season is a time of reflection, appreciation, and joy, and I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season. This past year I have endeavored to popularize, every chance I have, a phrase that I feel reflects the NPA experience. That phrase is: The Essence of NPA. My dear friend Laura Schmieder shared this phrase with us a couple of years ago when she received the Chairman’s Award; it really hit home for me that day. To be precise; the Essence of NPAworldwide is the people, and the relationships—everything else follows.

Many of our members' jobs are no longer visible because they have expired due to a passed target date. When you are adding a job into NPAmarketplace, you will see a field called Target Date – this is the target date that the client would like the role filled by.

One of the benefits of NPAworldwide membership is the ability to promote an international capability to your clients, serve your clients outside of their home markets, maximize your firm’s business opportunity by spending your time where the jobs are, and avoiding down economic situations in your home market. NPAworldwide defines “cross-border” splits as deals where the partners are operating in different countries. Here is a story about members that completed a cross-border split.

Posted by Kristen Davie on Nov 15, 2023
Some wonderful news from Australia/New Zealand this week. It has just been announced that two NPAworldwide members; Catherine O’Mahony, OnQ Recruitment and Jason Elias, Elias Recruitment have been elected to sit on the RCSA Board. The RCSA (Recruitment, Consulting and Staffing Association) is the peak body for the recruitment and staffing industry in Australia and New Zealand. RCSA drives professional practice, promotes & protects the industry. The Board of Directors is responsible for all matters pertaining to the running of the Association, including determining policy, practices, management, and operation of RCSA . Catherine will be the representative for NSW/ACT and Jason’s role will be to represent Accredited Professional Members. Having NPAworldwide members on the RCSA board is a great advantage, as they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Many will know that Jason is a long-term member of NPAworldwide, he celebrates his 20th year in the network this month and has also been an active volunteer in NPAworldwide with a collective 10 years volunteerism, including Chairman of the Board. We recently had the opportunity to thank Jason for his efforts, with Chair-Elect Pam Robison presenting him with a plaque at our AU/NZ Conference last month. Catherine has also been a long-term, active member of NPAworldwide with OnQ Recruitment celebrating 10 years of membership this year. NPAworldwide and RCSA have strong partnership with many of our members, also members of RCSA. RCSA has supported our AU/NZ Conferences, including their CEO Charles Cameron often presenting on the state of the industry at our events. I am sure having Catherine and Jason represented on the board will further strengthen our partnership. On behalf of the Australia / New Zealand membership, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Catherine O’Mahony and Jason Elias on their election to the RCSA Board. Their contributions to the recruitment and staffing industry are invaluable, and we are thrilled to see them recognised in this way. More information regarding their appointments and the RCSA can be found HERE

Posted by Gary Banks on Nov 09, 2023
Today I've asked Gary Banks to recap the "Essence of NPAworldwide" as experienced during the recent Australia/New Zealand Recruitment Conference in Brisbane. - Jim Lyons Recruiters have much affinity with the circus, whether it's juggling the expectations of multiple stakeholders, balancing the high wire of candidates accepting or not accepting roles, or just dealing with the clowns in our office (spoiler alert- it's usually the owners!). Recently the world's largest recruitment cooperative NPAworldwide took this theme one step further, with our Australian/New Zealand Conference titled "Taming the Talent Circus- AI's Role in Shaping the Future of Recruitment."

Dear Nicky, It has been quite the week. I share a lot of details about my jobs with my NPAworldwide partners so they have all the information I have. Lately I have been feeling like it is a mistake. I had one recruit from my client and another post a job that said no advertising. My trading partners need to help protect my relationship with my client. They are being sloppy and lazy with permission to advertise and not paying attention to where the candidate is currently located and where they work. Not sure what more I can do. Whining in Whitehall

Dear Nicky, I am a job recruiter, with lots of open jobs right now which is appealing to candidate recruiters. I have a few tips I would like to share with candidate recruiters so that we can be more successful working together. - Don’t send a candidate just because they work in my focus area; make sure you understand what it is I do and how I do it before sending candidates.
- Don’t send a candidate that you haven’t talked to; you wouldn't do that to your client, and your NPAworldwide partners are also your clients.
- Don’t send a candidate and call me ten minutes later to see if I received him and could I possibly place him.
- Make sure you have “qualified” your candidate against my job order. I am not looking for speculative candidates.
I like splits and making money with my NPAworldwide partners, and I think these tips will lead to more success. Fussy in Frankenmuth

At NPA Healthcare we love it when we can help you succeed! For every team that success looks a little different, for some it is offering employee benefits for the first time, for others it’s renewing without an increase, and still for others it’s seeing a refund of unused claims dollars, or it could be finding a better plan than currently offered for less.

For my From the Chair article today, I've asked our newest Hall of Fame inductee, Ed Wallach, to share some of his secrets to success in NPAworldwide. Enjoy! —Jim Lyons Hello to all my esteemed NPA affiliate partners. I’ve been on this journey for over 32 years, when I joined my dad’s business back in 1991. He had started the firm in 1965. I was absolutely clueless and probably looked like a deer in headlights. I remember going to my first NPA meeting in 1991. I was skeptical at first and didn’t really get what was going to unfold over the next 30+ years. Besides the compensation we get from making splits, the top beneficiary I got was lifelong friends.

Recently, 60+ members of NPAworldwide gathered for a Regional APAC meeting in KL to network, share their thought leadership, best practices, make new friends and renew old friendships. In doing so they carry on a tradition and practice at NPAworldwide that goes back almost 70 years. I would like to thank Carola Chard our Board member for APAC, Andrew Thoseby Board Member for AUS/NZ, and Kristen Davie for doing such a great job organizing this event. I've asked Carola to summarize the event below: It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I reflect on our recent conference held in Kuala Lumpur. With over 60 members from across the APAC, Europe, and the USA, this gathering truly exemplified the remarkable power of face-to-face meetings. We enjoyed impactful presentations, networking, fun and friendship, creating new business opportunities within our global recruiting network along the way. In an age where virtual communication has become the norm, there's clearly an irreplaceable magic that happens when we come together in person.

What is this you might ask? We are seeing members who send their NPA partners a LinkedIn Profile(s) asking if this is what they are looking for. I get it; you don’t want to waste time on sending stuff that is not applicable but don't waste your partner's time either. Have you thought about picking up the phone instead and having a conversation? Yes, I said it, a real person-to-person live talk. You can learn a lot more on a phone call about the ins and outs of the client and your partner. This is also a great way to build relationships with your NPA partners.

The common denominator of success in NPAworldwide is being proactive, not reactive. Don't sit back waiting for the phone to ring; reach out and make things happen. The essence of NPAworldwide is centered in close personal and business relationships, trust and integrity. Yes, veteran members will introduce themselves to you, but the new members must take the lead in initiating new relationships. In today's Vignette, I have asked two relatively new members, Adam Pantelli and Phil Hurd, to briefly share their first-year success stories. I had the pleasure to speak to both Adam and Phil recently. In discussion, it was clear to me that both wanted to make sure the membership knew who they were and what they could deliver. It comes as no surprise the results that followed.

In my continuing mission to popularize the Essence of NPAworldwide, I was honored two weeks ago to attend a retirement lunch for Kay Durkin in Philadelphia. Kay received Honorary membership for her years of service to the network. Kay is also a past Chairman's Award winner, Board member and longtime volunteer. I would like to thank Laura Schmeider and Jeff McGraw for setting up this event. It was great to speak to Kay about her iconic NPA participation over the years. I also asked Christine Kines of Vector Recruiting to share her recent experiences with Kay: "It was so wonderful to celebrate Kay at her retirement party! When I joined NPAworldwide, a little over a year ago, Kay generously agreed to be my peer coach. What a difference having a peer coach made in my level of success at NPAworldwide. Kay was instrumental in helping me make connections and ensuring I had all the resources I needed.

Please help me in sending a big thank you to Wayne Daley (Launch Gig, NPA 2079) and Mike Yahkind (Technical Paradigm, NPA 4038) for their valuable volunteer efforts over the last few years. Wayne started and ran the Cybersecurity Technology Subgroup for about 6 years. Shortly after joining NPA, Mike spearheaded the Fintech Subgroup and ran it for 3 years. Both Mike and Wayne did outstanding jobs with these groups, having created engagement that resulted in placements. Their volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated! We hope to have both of them back in volunteer roles in the future. Please reach out and thank them for their efforts.

Greetings. For this Vignette issue, I have asked NPAworldwide President Dave Nerz to summarize the impact of recently-enacted legislation that is coming into effect in Ontario, CA on 1 January 2024. It is critical that all Ontario and Canadian NPAworldwide members reach out and complain to their respective legislative leaders on the anti-competitive and punitive nature of this legislation. —Jim Lyons, Chairman New legislation was announced in July and will go into effect on January 1, 2024. It says, “Any person who, for a fee, finds, or attempts to find, employment in Ontario for prospective employees”…and “Any person who, for a fee, finds, or attempts to find, employees for prospective employers in Ontario…” is required to hold a license. The cost is $750 plus a $25,000 CND irrevocable letter of credit. This is for those residing in Ontario and those doing work with Ontario-based employers or employees. It will have an impact on NPAworldwide and members doing work in Ontario.

Today's guest contributor is Carola Chard from CMCC in Hong Kong, our director for Asia. I am so happy to be part of NPAworldwide. It has been a most rewarding investment to join this network that brought over the years not just business connections and opportunities for splits with partners, but also created an ever-growing circle of friends. With every meeting and conference we learn more about each other and about the specialty areas, as well as preferred methodologies. When we speak with clients about our global reach, such knowledge of our international partners can add a great value to the conversation.

The Engagement team spends their days on Zoom, email and the phone talking to members. What we have not figured out is why many members join NPAworldwide and never unlock their potential. Unlocking your potential is a process that requires active engagement and effort on your part. Maybe it is a lack of awareness? Some members may be unaware of all the services and resources available through NPAworldwide. They never really get to know what we are all about.

The Essence of NPA was alive and well in Sicily this past June 1-3. Close to 30 attendees gathered at the beautiful ocean view, RG Naxos resort. Attendees shared their best practices and thought leadership. In doing so, new friendships were made, and old friendships were renewed. President Dave Nerz discussed the demographic impact facing the global recruitment marketplace. Tony Restell of Social Hire shared his expertise in client lead generation and social media. Dave Nerz and I led a discussion session around cross-border splits and working globally.

At our recent EMEA meeting in Sicily, the NPAworldwide name became a point of discussion.

A few days ago I had the pleasure to speak to a new member, an individual pretty new to the recruitment industry (kind of like Kay years ago). I was impressed with this new member's energy and excitement about joining the network. Members like this represent the future of NPAworldwide. Equally as important, we must never forget the wonderful history of this almost 70 year old recruitment network. Today the Chairman's Corner recognizes retiring member Kay Durkin of Phoenix Partners in greater Philadelphia. Kay's iconic journey with NPAworldwide started in 1993. I am sure all readers will take a moment to wish Kay well in the Chairman’s Corner comment section below.

NPAworldwide members Laura LaBine and Hugh Morris are taking a different approach to filling a role for a manufacturing client. Last December while on a contract staffing call, Laura brought up a client requirement and asked if anyone could translate a SOW (Statement of Work) into a job description. After a 10-second delay with no one responding, Hugh said, “Sure, I majored in English literature, I should be able to write this.”

As I embark on this new responsibility, I am eager to contribute to the continued growth and success of our collaborative community while reflecting on the journey that led me here and the invaluable resources NPAworldwide has to offer. Shortly after starting Provision People, I recognized the immense value in collaborating with a global network of other recruiters. This realization led me to join NPAworldwide, where I've had the privilege of working with talented professionals from around the world, building lasting relationships, and driving revenue for my firm through split fee placements. The support, resources, and opportunities provided by NPAworldwide have been instrumental in my professional growth and the success of our business.

As members of NPAworldwide, we share a common goal: to connect with fellow recruiting firms and foster mutually beneficial partnerships. While video meetings have become increasingly popular, there's no substitute for meeting face-to-face. In-person meetings (IPMs) like the annual NPAworldwide events held in the United States and around the world offer numerous benefits that can propel your firm to new heights. In this article, we'll explore the value of attending these events and the impact they can have on your long-lasting professional relationships.

I must admit I did not have a great Q1. For the first time in years, I got caught on the wrong side of M&A activity in the FinTech/Financial Product Software space. For me the new year came with the loss of three long time clients. In addition, a great new client from 2022 put everything on hold.... On the legal search side of my business, Big Law went in the direction of Big Tech and slowed down hiring. However, with NPAworldwide members and with the NPAworldwide brand behind me, all is now moving in the right direction.

It's been an honor and a joy to serve on the NPAworldwide Board of Directors for the last four years. My specific focus was leading the Practice Groups, and they have proven to be the ever-evolving heartbeat of our organization. When I joined ten years ago, the Chem Processing group was the top revenue-performing group. With shifts in the economy and market, the group withered down to a point where it was combined with the Agriculture and Food practice group. As change is a constant, it will be interesting to see where the labor market creates now specializations that would require the support of a Practice Group.

I was reading an article titled The Principles of Membership.. I was wondering if I knew the principles of NPA membership so here is my attempt at it. Members need to have a connection with NPAworlwide, and recognize the differences between your partners and how they are all independent businesses working together with one goal in mind: split placements.

According to the latest Business Barometer Survey from NPAworldwide, the global recruitment network, demand for talent remained strong through the end of 2022. The survey, which is completed by independent recruitment firm owners around the world, found that 70% of respondents had results that were better than or the same as in the previous 18 months. This indicates that businesses are still seeing positive growth even amidst global political and economic uncertainty. Dave Nerz, president of NPAworldwide, commented on the findings, saying “the data reflects a market where businesses are still willing to invest in their human capital.”

It seems that artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the industry’s attention. Maybe more than just the industry, the world seems enamored with AI. What is amazing to me is that it was not until Microsoft and Google started their PR machines that everyone started paying attention. Now I get asked if NPA will integrate AI into the network a few times a month now. Well good news, we have had our eye on AI for much longer than it has been an industry topic and the hype machines have been pouring out stories.

The auto logoff is intended to prevent unauthorized access to NPAmarketplace during periods of inactivity, as many records contain sensitive information about clients, candidates, or members. The automatic logoff will be triggered at midnight (in the user's local time zone) if a session is inactive.

Today my guest commentator is my dear friend, the incomparable Jason Elias. Jason will be leaving the NPAworldwide board on March 2. Jason’s years of membership and service to NPA has been iconic. His professionalism, dedication, and advocacy for all members of the network is a benchmark and a standard of service excellence. In addition to being a loving family man and industry leader, Jason possesses a quick wit and a spontaneous sense of humor. I think Jason could have a second career as a stand-up comic! I have a big smile on my face as I think of several times in the midst of a serious discussion, he inserted some comic relief. Often, it was so fast and clever that it went right over my head… Jason, we thank you for your dynamic leadership and remarkable service to NPA. You have touched the lives of so many. It has been my honor to serve alongside you on the Board and the Executive Committee. Above all, I thank the Lord for the gift of your friendship. —JL

It's a tool I have been using weekly for the past couple of years to help shore up writing and other content-creation tasks. And it's unbelievably good, doing about 80% of the work for me. I use it for email subject lines, press releases, marketing emails, rewriting content from other sources that needs more "oomph" and more.

They have employment gaps in their resume (some over a year), currently not working and not willing to move. Really?? Do members understand what a client would pay a fee for? I know sometimes there is a good reason for employment gaps, but that needs to be explained in the comments. Poor Quality in Posen

Dear Nicky, I am fairly new to NPAworldwide and made my first placement already. Yay! I added the placement to the system and received the check in the mail 20 days later. To my dismay, I received a call from the candidate recruiter asking me when he would receive his money. I told him the guarantee period was 90 days but I did have the check from the client. He was not happy. Am I doing something wrong? Checking in Champion

Last week the United States' Federal Trade Commission published a proposed regulation that would effectively ban all non-compete agreements. It would even require employers to formally rescind any non-compete agreements that are already in place. Industry attorney Bill Josey briefly addressed this for members last week in our monthly training webinar.

I like the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze. OK, I admit I watched because I had a crush on Sam Elliot. There is a part in the movie where he tells the staff to be nice, even if someone gets in your face, be nice, if you need to walk them out be nice, remember it is a job nothing personal.. here is the clip for those who have not seen it

We are all attracted to new shiny things, too often we give up old things for new. Those that know me well know that I like to sew. I make a lot of quilts; not sure I am good at it, but it is relaxing to me. I have four sewing machines, yes four. My family teases me as my 1820 Singer is a valuable collector’s item but I will not part with it.

Dear Nicky, A trading partner just asked me for help on a role that she has had for the past several months. It's hard to believe the client doesn't have other options in play at this point, possibly even some of the same candidates I would have recruited. It just doesn't seem like there is a high likelihood of success in filling the role now. Is it normal for partners to wait this long before asking for help? Hoarding in Hesperia

Welcome all NPA Members! I am pleased to have been asked to write this Chairman’s Corner for this week’s Vignette. As many of you know, I am the EMEA Director for NPA, a role I have held for a couple of years now, following on from being the UK & Ireland Area Leader previously. Being based in the UK as I am, the topic I wanted to cover with you all is “Internationalism”. This, according to the dictionary, means a cluster of ideas derived from the belief that international progress is possible, where progress is defined as movement toward increasing levels of harmonious cooperation between communities.

About two weeks ago, I booked two client meetings in New York City. On the way in, I had a lot of calls that needed to be done, so I decided to take an Uber. It was a big process day: interviews, logistics, offer discussions, a lot moving parts. I wanted to stay close and be available. Since I gave up my NYC drop-office a couple of years ago, my plan was to sit at a little coffee shop I often frequent, check messages, and make some calls. My client meetings were confirmed and were at the end of the day. All was going along well until…I realized a few minutes too late that I had left my mobile phone behind in the Uber!!!!!!!!! To make things worse, I had no laptop. I had made the decision before leaving home that all of the day’s activities could be handled by my mobile device. WOW, THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING TO ME! But it was!!!!!

Roman Duty is guest-writing this issue's From the Chair. Greetings, fellow NPA Members! It’s an honor to write this month for the Vignette. As I debated on a topic to touch on with you all, I received a candidate via an NPA candidate partner that was qualified enough for me to call them instantly. When I reached the candidate and introduced myself, the candidate was confused. This person had not heard my name, vaguely remembered responding to an email from the other recruiter, couldn’t recall the job, and I spent time overcoming this candidate’s skepticism.

Back by popular demand ... I’ve developed an assessment and case studies that help hiring managers think critically about the jobs they need to fill. The 4A’s of Talent Acquisition is a simple assessment focused on the one question hiring managers must consider when bringing a job to market: How long will it likely take to fill this job? Click here to download a copy - you can use this as a conversation-starter with new or potential clients as an activity they can do on their own or as part of a "complimentary" offer that we can share to demonstrate market knowledge.

I thank the Lord for the gift of my life and I pray for those lost in New York City, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. I think of their families and hope the years have eased the pain of their loss. I think of the lingering health issues and the loss of life that still touches many survivors and first responders in NYC. Over the years, and still today, I think about the two seemingly routine events that saved my own life: A subway delayed at 14th Street, and a request from my office to pick up doughnuts for the 10AM sales meeting. Both events resulting in me pushing the elevator button as the first plane hit WTC1. Were these delaying events part of the serendipity of life or the intercession of the Lord? I suspect I will ponder this question the rest of my life.

The Essence of NPA—A term I plan to popularize during my tenure as your Chair is simply, the personal and endearing relationships between NPA members that come by and are renewed by in person meetings. Well, the Essence of NPA was alive and well at our meeting in Manly, Australia. This week’s Chairman’s Corner features my dear friend and NPA Board Member (Immediate Past Chair), Jason Elias’ summary of the event.

I want to share with you a moment that displays the spirit of NPAworldwide in action. As we are all well aware, the global pandemic kept many of us in place for nearly 2 years. In Australia, the lock downs and lack of travel were particularly difficult. For the first time in more than 2 years, NPAworldwide members gathered for a face-to-face meeting in Manly, a seaside suburb of Sydney, NSW. There were about 60 member-owners and sponsors gathered for our dinner on the first night of the conference. With inspiration from Jason Elias, our Past Chairman, a speaker offered some dedicated training time for “auction” to support Simone Allan’s cause, The Women’s Resilience Centre.

Greetings! I hope this finds you well, prosperous in business but also making time to smell the roses and enjoy family and friends. As your Chair I have the pleasure of interacting with members and staff, around what is working well at NPA and the points of challenge. Over the years, I have said that the common denominator of success at NPA is being proactive. It is indeed the Essence of NPA members in communication, splitting deals and sharing their thought leadership and subject matter expertise.

Posted by Nicky P. Anderson on Jul 08, 2022
Dear Nicky, I am usually a job-side recruiter, relying on partners to provide candidates. Recently, I had some extra time so I working on providing candidates for my NPAworldwide partners. I found that not a lot of members have what I call client control. That is not the way I like to work. Is there a good way for me to get that information upfront, without sounding bossy? As we know, the hiring manager is likely giving the job order to everyone and anyone who wants to see it. I set expectations upfront with my client so I know I will get feedback, and I also make it clear that I need to know where they are sending the job(s). Controlling in Calvin

You may have noticed a new email notification from NPAmarketplace beginning late last week related to members who have downloaded your candidate(s). This is an expanded feature that was previously deployed in Matchmaker to comply with GDPR. GDPR is a sweeping privacy regulation in the European Union that was implemented in 2018. Job seekers (and other individuals) in the EU have a legal right to know who has “control” or possession of their personal data, and to have that personal data deleted upon request. Anyone who works with a job seeker living in the EU must comply with the GDPR requirements. You can learn more about your obligations under the GDPR here: https://gdpr.eu/compliance-checklist-us-companies/

The Essence of NPA, a phrase I plan to popularize this year, runs straight and true in Europe. Earlier this month, members from NPA in Europe, the US and LATAM got together in Barcelona, Spain in person for the first time in over two years. Connection Barcelona was a big success! Best practices and thought leadership were shared amongst the attendees and great speakers. More importantly, old friendships were renewed and new friendships were made.

My sweet father-in-law has been in and out of the hospital for the last three months. I can tell you for sure that not all facilities are equal, nor are all service providers. Along the way, I've given shoutouts to some caregivers and some not-so-pleasant corrective suggestions to others. At times our family has been very frustrated and at others, we've been exceedingly pleased. Being fully engaged with his service providers has proved invaluable to his quality of care and overall satisfaction.

Quick reminder to all owners and recruiters: about a year ago we began implementing some new security measures to reduce the number of inactive accounts on our sites, especially NPAmarketplace. If a recruiter fails to log in to NPAcentral for more than 180 days after their account was created, the account will be automatically deleted. This will also trigger deletions from NPAmarketplace. We have been handling this manually for quite a long time, but now have the ability to streamline this task.

Finding talent is difficult. Speed to close on open positions is becoming extended. Some jobs are just not built to split…low fees, too many competitors, or strange one-off situations make it difficult to get support from your NPAworldwide partners. The NPA Job Board is a great option for these situations. We discourage the use of the NPA Job Board where you have partners investing time to source candidates. Please don’t waste your NPA partners' time.

The Essence of NPA—I hope to popularize the phrase over the next few months. This endearing phrase came out of our recent Global Conference in Texas by way of my dear friend and Chairman’s Award Recipient, Laura Schmieder. As I mentioned in a recent Chairman’s Corner, the Essence of NPA is the people. And one of the most efficient ways to get to know your fellow members are at small informal get-togethers. A lot can be discussed over a cup of coffee, lunch, drink after work or even stopping by a member’s office.

About a month ago, I received a call from a member who has been with NPAworldwide for a couple of years and in the industry for about ten years. The member explained to me that she had two great sales roles, competitively priced, yet she was getting very little NPAworldwide candidate-side (CS) submissions. After further discussion, I learned that although this position was with a long-time client, the member had no sales placement experience. The member took on the search with the hope of closing it with NPA CS help. Great strategy!! This is why we are in NPAworldwide.

The backbone of NPAworldwide is and will always be its members and recruiters, as well as the staff who help us all work effectively and efficiently. Building relationships leads to information exchange as well as split placements. HOW do you find your potential trading partners and industry experts? Every new member and recruiter is trained in using NPAmarketplace and NPA Central to find potential trading partners…as well as attending meetings and Practice Group calls. They don’t know anyone in NPAworldwide so they absolutely depend on our tools, whether it's finding out when meetings or trading calls or webinars might be OR seeing jobs and candidates OR finding out who are the specialists.

Did you know you can set a default currency in NPAmarketplace? The default for all users is USD, but you can customize the salary to automatically apply a different currency standard to all of your posted candidate and job records. So Australian members who typically work with Australian candidates and Australian jobs, can set the default to Australian dollars. Those in Europe can change the default to euros.

If you have your browser set at higher than 100% ("zooming in"), you may notice some fields or features of Marketplace don't work correctly or aren't visible to you. For example, if you set your browser to 200% size, the Marketplace drop-down menus for Partners, Candidates, Jobs and Splits will stop working - this is true in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Zooming "out" to something less than 200% will restore the menu functionality.

Technology Tips |
As more members have recently been working with candidates, we are seeing an increase in tech support requests related to difficulty parsing resumes. In almost every instance, the resume in question is full of logos, pictures, tables, or other images. The resume parser can ONLY read text. Resumes that are filled with images will not parse correctly.

Technology Tips |
A fairly common support request we receive at NPAworldwide is regarding PDF resumes that won't upload to Marketplace. If your candidate has embedded images, tables, odd fonts, or other problematic data in the PDF, you'll likely encounter difficulties getting that resume/CV uploaded. You may even have trouble opening the file. As more candidates use mobile devices for their career searches, we think that PDF versions of resumes are likely to increase, since they can easily be stored and opened on a mobile device.

Important reminder to members: If you are posting jobs on the NPAworldwide Job Board, you may NOT include your contact information in ANY of the description fields (What Makes This a Great Job, Job Description, or Qualifications). This would potentially allow a candidate to circumvent the Job Board, meaning NPAworldwide would not receive the required placement fee.

A reminder to those of you who are posting jobs on Marketplace AND the Job Board. Please be sure you are NOT including private notes or recruiter-to-recruiter comments in the Job Description, Qualifications, or Why Is This a Great Opportunity fields. These are PUBLIC fields that ARE shared on the Job Board. This means job seekers are seeing information that is really not suitable for a public audience.

Technology Tips |
Sometimes candidates will convert their resume/CV to PDF format before sending it to a recruiter. This is typically because they don't want anyone to make changes to their resume, and believe that PDF is a "read-only" document. A PDF file CAN be edited with the correct software, so this is a false assumption by job seekers.

When creating jobs on NPAmarketplace, there is a "Target Date" field that has been the source of some confusion. Typically, we get these questions: - Why can't I find my job?
- Why can't I set the target date for MORE than 90 days into the future?

Dear Nicky, I regularly post my jobs and I wish there was a way to easily notify all my partners when a job has been filled, closed, put on hold, etc. I would hate for anyone to waste time sourcing candidates for a job that really doesn't exist. Can this be considered as a future enhancement? Ideas from Ionia

Are you ready to take your business, marketing and sales efforts up a notch? If so then I have great news for YOU! There is an AI content-creation tool called Jasper that can help with all of this. It's perfect because not only does it create blog posts but also questions on Quora or Reddit. It can even help write unique email subject lines - which means more engagement from potential leads. If you attended Ryan Kovach's session about Actionable Marketing Strategies on a Budget in Fort Worth, you'll recall his enthusiasm for Jasper as well.

Hello NPAworldwide owners and recruiters, The Board of Directors has asked staff to invest some time and energy to find solutions for service provider needs that most members are likely to find beneficial or necessary. Many of you have solid solutions in place for these needs, others are in search of new providers, looking for increased performance, or interested in reduced cost for the work required. Here are some of the categories the Board asked for staff to prioritize. Please reply to this thread with others that would be valuable to you if something has been missed.

Greetings, NPA! Spring is in the air for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Joining NPA almost 10 years ago has enabled me to maintain my individual firm identity, while concurrently being part of something much bigger. I came to learn shortly after joining NPA that one of the best kept secrets of NPA membership is FLYING THE NPA FLAG. In fact, for the past several years all of my client acquisition initiates have been NPA-centric. In operation, I lead with, and go to market flying the NPA flag.

Greetings. As I consider all of the great ideas that came out of 2022 NPA Global Conference last week, it would be easy to write about topics such as; operational best practices, technology and member achievement. In the alternative, I would rather discuss what I feel is the greatest value of in-person meetings: the opportunity to make new friends and to renew old friendships. I must say, I was very much moved by a phrase I heard last week – “The Essence of NPA.” I have never heard the phrase since joining NPA almost 10 years ago. The meaning behind this phrase simply and poignantly defines the true NPA experience.

While attending the Global Conference, several members were very interested in marketing NPAworldwide to their clients with a map of member locations. While that seems easy enough, I can tell you the minute it is published it is out of date. For example, last month we had 20 new members join and 9 members depart. It is never going to be accurate for more than a few days

Despite the changes that the pandemic has wrought, recruiters in the Great White North have responded well. But competition for assignments is fierce and candidates are in the driver’s seat. To land the top prospects, companies must go beyond compensation to win – and retain – the best and brightest.

New York City employers be aware: A new “NYC Salary Disclosure Law” will soon require employers to include a good faith salary range for every job, promotion, or transfer opportunity advertised. While the NYC Salary Disclosure Law is scheduled to take effect on May 15, 2022, it may now be pushed out to November 1, 2022 due to a recently introduced bill that would amend the new law, including the effective date.

Greetings! As I commence my two-year term as your Board Chair, I first wish to thank my good friend Jason Elias (now serving as Immediate Past Chair) for his dedication not only to NPA but also to our industry. Strategically, Jason marshaled NPA through a global pandemic, while also always keeping his watchful eye on creating membership value. I would embarrass Jason if I listed his awards and achievements at NPA and in our industry. I will simply say that this network is much better today because of dedicated leaders such as Jason. Thank you mate! You remain an inspiration to us all.

NPA staff used to say to members with jobs if you post them, they will come. I would say that is NOT the case any longer. We have consistently over the last year + had more jobs than candidates.

Dear Nicky, A recruiter who used to work for an NPAworldwide partner has contacted me about some new split placement opportunities. This has not happened to me before, and I'm not sure what the rules are. Is it OK for me to make splits with a partner's former recruiter? Unsure in Uncton

This is the final Chairman's Corner for the Year. The Year 2021 has been a mixed year—with the global pandemic on one hand, yet a very busy and mostly successful year for recruiters. The network has performed well and there have been loads of splits and job board placements. We also have a record amount of funds in reserves and an exciting new sharing tool to replace Matchmaker.

Each NPA member works their business, their desk, their NPA membership differently…and that is okay as long as we are NOT being detrimental to other NPA member/owners. Remember that - WE all own NPAworldwide, it’s not owned by THEM or HIM or HER or a CORPORATE ENTITY…its owned by all and each NPA Member.

Greeting fellow members, I wanted to highlight a couple of changes to some of the terminology we use in the network. While us old-timers understand the difference between an "importer" and "exporter," for some it is not that easy. Head office probably spends 3 weeks a year explaining the wording to prospective members, rookie members and even some members who should know by now.

Rose Dorta (NPA #4047) of Kaizen HR Solutions, LLC in Elmhurst, IL, USA, has made a split placement with Steve Morris (NPA #1118) of Van Grace Associates, LLC in Shrewsbury, MA, USA. Rose placed Steve's candidate, a Plant Manager in the Chemical Industry in the US. This is Kaizen HR Solutions's second split, as Rose previously made a split with Patrick Long at the end of 2020 which was not published in the Vignette.

One of the benefits of NPAworldwide membership is the ability to promote an international capability to your clients, serve your clients outside of their home markets, maximize your firm’s business opportunity by spending your time where the jobs are, and avoiding down economic situations in your home market. NPAworldwide defines “cross-border” splits as deals where the partners are operating in different countries. Here is a story about members that completed a cross-border split.

Mike O Leary mentioned this to me, and I thought it was worth sharing. "As a recruiter I can tell you that a resume provides valuable info, but what is most valuable is a resume with a recruiter’s judgement and notes. If you have a high-level candidate pick up the phone, call those folks and get a good sense of what they do and what they want. Make sure that is included in the notes you send your NPA Partner when you send the resume."

The Operations Manual forbids inclusion of contact information on NPA Job Board postings. The reason is that inclusion of contact info allows candidates to circumvent the use of the Job Board. In these cases, the procuring cause, the Job Board, would not be known or recognized. Jobs that contain contact information will be removed from the Job Board and the offending member may be further restricted from use of the Job Board.

Boring jobs attract boring applicants so make sure yours stands out from the rest. Focus on the message itself and don’t cut and paste a long-drawn out description.

We talk to a lot of members lately that say they are busy, busy, busy. Guessing that is a good thing? We all want to be busy for sure, but make sure you are also being productive. If you are sending candidates to your trading partners and not posting them as well, you are missing opportunities. If you are recruiting in the accounting space, are you looking for similar jobs that may be a fit?

Our jobs as recruiters are full of ups and downs- the term "champagne and razor blades" sums it up pretty accurately. We have all endured the late night phone call when the candidate who is due to start the next day pulls out, the email from the client saying they are going with an internal candidate after all or after seven interviews the candidate decides to stay put. You hear me, right?

Have you ever tried Durian? Durian is a tropical fruit grown in Southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia and Thailand. To some, like me, it is a delicacy and has been described as the “King of Fruits.” To others, including my wife, it is pungent and disgusting. Durian has been described as eating an “over-ripe peach in a public toilet.”

Periodically, it's a good idea to manually clear the cache from your website browser. Cached pages are simply stored versions of web pages that you visit. Storing a copy helps the page load more quickly the next time you visit the page. The downside to always loading cached pages is that if the web page gets changed or updated, your browser might still be loading the old (cached) version. This can lead to a variety of errors or even a non-responsive site.

Here’s some positive news for a change. NPAworldwide is ahead of its year-to-date plan on the volume of splits being made in the network. I’m pleased to see that many are experiencing a boom in business as the world returns to work, and that we’re sharing jobs and candidates with each other! With all of this activity, now is probably also a good time to share a reminder about split fee arrangements between members.

A few weeks ago, I got an email from a recruiter that APPEARED to be in response to my posting in NPAmarketplace, however there was nothing in the email to indicate the sender was a member/recruiter in NPAworldwide nor did they reference NPA. I was just going to ignore it, but I looked in NPAmarketplace, did NOT see the company or recruiter name so was a bit flummoxed. I wanted to know how this person knew of my search so replied, asking who they were and how they knew of my search.

Dear Nicky, Thought I would share a pro tip I learned this week. I logged into a practice group call, not in my niche, and wow, I was impressed! My own narrow niche has been slow. I was surprised to hear from so many partners - some had jobs that were niche-focused and others had jobs from A-Z within a company. What I learned was that it's valuable to mix it up from time to time and find out what is happening in other sectors. It's easy to think that *everything* is slow when you are so focused on your own niche. Looking at a broader picture showed me there is plenty of work to be had. It was an eye-opener for me.

Many of you may be reading this from lockdowns or have been affected by the pandemic personally or your businesses. Many of you will be aware that we lost Fran Weirnusz to covid last year. Fran was a great contributor to the network and a wonderful character who will be missed by all. I hope the year ahead will bring better fortune to us all across the globe.

Happy New Year!

I read an article that said people need to “Be the good”. That really resonates with me as I see that among members all the time. I think that there are members out there that like to be the good and help others along the way.

The future of face-to-face meetings around the world is unknown. We all long for the opportunity to meet with friends, family and business associates as we once did. While we are unsure of when travel will return to pre-Covid levels, we are planning for that day. Certainly the discovery of an effective vaccine will allow the world some increased comfort and perhaps the ability to travel and meet again. Let’s hope the vaccine arrives sooner rather than later and is both safe and effective.

Today's discussion revolves around obtaining job orders and when a split is due to your partner. In our first case, which is the correct answer? Agency A sends or discusses a job order with Agency B. B takes no action. Subsequently B discovers the job order independently through normal marketing efforts and makes a placement. A. This is NOT a split placement, as long as, B did not use any information provided by A to acquire the job order. B. This IS a split placement since A initially informed B regardless. C. Neither A or B

It is now over 20 years since I last practised law and so I am a bit rusty. One of the concepts that I still recall from contract law is the "Indoor Management rule." An outsider dealing with a company should be able to make certain assumptions about the regularity of the internal affairs of the company. This provides certainty to people dealing with a company that they cannot just say, "Oh sorry, Donny wasn't authorised to do that."

Hope you are safe and well. Recently I had a really interesting conversation with a psychologist friend on procrastination. We were discussing why some people (like me) too often leave tasks (eg proposals and reports) to the last minute. A fast-approaching deadline makes matters more stressful and rarely leads to better results. We discussed a strategy of doing smaller tasks regularly and then rewarding yourself when the job is done early, eg taking time off. He described this as “being kind to your future self.” This really resonated with me - not in an altruistic “do-goody“ way but a practical one where there is clear self-benefit.

Custom fonts, logos, and graphic images on your resume may make you feel smart and unique. The bad news…the machines reading your resume don’t like what you have done. Special features in a resume can confuse the parsing software and do not allow the data to be properly extracted or read from your document. Avoid non-standard designs, colors, and charts on your resume.

Dear Nicky, My business has been tied closely to the oil and gas sector for a long time. As you can imagine, with oil prices so low I started to feel the hurt, then COVID-19 happened and things went from bad to worse. I hear from others that you can “re-invent” yourself with NPAworldwide; you can go after more business, new business, international business, or even work with others on their jobs. Can you tell me where to start? Branching Out in Branch County

What if I told you that I could get you one warm call with a potential client a week? A client that loves recruiters, a client that is happy to pay your fees; a client who will appreciate you working with them? Sounds good? Well that is one of the key benefits of our network. Everyone accepted wants to split with you. They hopefully love recruiters (given that’s what they are), they are happy to pay your fees as you are helping them make a placement that would otherwise not have happened and they appreciate you as you have either made their client / candidate happy.

Firstly, hope you are all safe and well. 2020 has so far been a year of challenges across a number of fronts, not least economically. The recruitment industry is always at the pointy end of macroeconomic change and I know many of us are feeling this acutely right now. We have 10% of the number of job orders we had in February. If it is any consolation, recruiters also feel the benefits of upturns. Companies will need to re-skill and grow quickly and we are positioned to help them do that.

Being a member of NPAworldwide not only improves my business bottom line, I also meet and make a lot of new friends from around the world. I have done splits with members from Africa for a client in Asia using a candidate from Europe. NPAworldwide is global and I have been a member since 2011. I have always been involved with NPAworldwide volunteer work. I was appointed Members Manager for North Asia from 2011 till 2017, a totally voluntary role serving the Asian community for a total of 6 years. I am still volunteering but in a different capacity.

Well, it *was* recently my birthday, not a milestone number but given what has happened the last few months, every birthday is worth celebrating. I love surprises especially for my birthday. I equally dislike surprises at work. You know the feeling when you reach for your phone and see the name of a candidate who is due to start work tomorrow or a client calls you 20 minutes after an interview is meant to have started. These are the surprises we can all do without.

Dear Leland, Thanks for writing! I agree that the overwhelming amount of negative news isn’t helping anyone’s mental health. While it would be silly to pretend everything is fine and normal, there ARE reasons to remain hopeful and optimistic. There are certainly pockets in healthcare, warehousing, distribution, logistics and a few others where hiring activity is still solid. Many clients are continuing to press forward with interview plans, even if they are delaying onboarding. Candidates and hiring managers are more available for conversations than they have been for a long time. This means that great candidates and smart companies may have a unique opportunity to upgrade their situations right now. Most members are reporting steep declines in open jobs, but some are reporting that the smaller volume of jobs is leading to a higher fill rate. On top of that, NPAworldwide has an annual budget that is adopted by the Board of Directors. This budget includes planned income for brokerage, which is a direct reflection of split placement activity. This year’s budget is based on brokerage of just over $7,100 per week. I’m pleased to say that going back over the past 8 weeks, to the beginning of the pandemic, there has only been ONE week in which new acceptance activity was BELOW this target. That was the week ending March 27th, and the acceptance activity was 86% of goal, so lower than planned but hardly catastrophic. The week prior (ending March 20th), members reported acceptances totaling 188% of the brokerage goal. For the seven weeks since, the totals have been 106%, 100%, 116%, 113%, 103%, and 108%. A small number of reported acceptances will result in fall-offs or no-starts, but your network is well-positioned to survive … and thrive. Actual brokerage cash-in for April was about 87% of goal, with some clients paying more slowly than normal. The membership pipeline also remains strong with steady interest by prospective members. We enrolled 13 new firms in April – take some time to get to know them! Make them feel welcome and look for split placement opportunities. NPAworldwide members have always relied on each other to survive during challenging economic cycles. This time is no different. Nicky Send letters to: nanderson@npaworldwide.com

I’m sure most of you have processes that you follow whenever you have staff departures. If updating NPAworldwide is not part of your regular departure process, please make sure that happens going forward. If you are not keeping your staff list updated in Marketplace, you run the risk of former recruiters still having active logins.

I woke up at 5 am the other day to the sound of laughter with my 10 year-old son watching TV. Curious as to what was causing cacophony—was it his favourite Disney show? the latest sitcom? No, he was cackling at the final scene from the 1979 Monty Python classic “Life of Brian.” His laughter turned into melody as he started singing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”.

I wanted to talk about quality in one of my last Vignette articles. Jason Elias will be taking over authorship of the column later in March. He is smarter and funnier so you should be in good hands and entertained. I am passionate about quality! In my view, quality is the primary driver on how we differentiate ourselves. This is true as individual members and as a network. We have quality standards within our firm (WilliamCharles Search Group) and we promote those standards as part of our branding pitch. Quality standardization is challenging within our network. Why?

Our industry is more competitive than ever! This crowded recruiter marketplace is the result of two factors. First, we are 8-9 years into a reasonably good economy for recruiters. Secondarily, we continue to be in a candidate-short market causing employers to need us. It might not be this year… but when the downturn hits, it will put some recruiters out of business.

I've just read an article from a meetings-related colleague who is in some hot water over using an improperly-sourced image in a blog post. In short, her business failed to follow its own policy regarding photo/image use and inadvertently posted a blog that featured an image that was downloaded from Google search results. Turns out that image was copyrighted and not available for public use. She has received a cease-and-desist letter and is likely to pay a significant fine even though she removed the image immediately upon receiving notice of the error.

Laura LaBine is this week's guest writer. There are many rewarding aspects to why we work, such as the satisfaction of connecting people to their dream job or celebrating a successful placement with a partner, but at the end of the day money pays the bills. It’s always a good idea to have a conversation with your partner early and often to discuss payment terms. This doesn’t just refer to getting paid by the client, but also how we pay each other. Since some payment methods can take time to process or set up, it can be beneficial to set expectations with each other at time of placement. We owe it to each other to be super transparent and cooperative in communicating payment terms.

Get to Know Hall of Fame Member Richard Bryant, Bryant Associates, Inc. (#4794), Chicago, IL, USA What was your favorite NPAworldwide meeting?It was also my most memorable one. I was previously a 20-year member of NPC, a competing network purchased by NPA in 1989. During my last 10 years with that group, I performed a routine that was a parody of Johnny Carson’s soothsayer, Carnac the Magnificent, which I dubbed Norcrap The Magnificent.

I’m always surprised to hear members say that they are not interested in global recruiting. In some cases, members might be in a function that is local or regional but in most cases we all can take advantage of NPAworldwide’s global capabilities. Why promote global capability? Lots of great reasons including additional revenue, differentiates you from your competition, your clients likely struggle with needs in other countries and it gives your business caché and will elevate your status with your client.

Success in our business right now requires laser focus on the right stuff! Flashback 25 years and our business was much simpler – let’s face it the world was much simpler -- but I’ll leave that for someone else’s blog. Recruiting 25 years ago… we used the phone book, paper job order/candidate files along with lists and directories. It was not easy but the path to success was simple and straight forward….through the phone. The only distraction was the person next to you who talked too much. Remember those times?

Today's guest writer is Jim Lyons, JD, CPC As you know, the internet and social media make it fairly easy to find candidates today. It is not like years ago in recruitment when you had to call into a company and use a suitable pretext to try to find out who was doing a certain job. Yes, that type of recruitment theatre is gone. Let’s face it, today it is easy to find the right person. The problem is: it is easy for everyone to find that same right person.

Dear Nicky, I’m an exporter and have noticed that importers sometimes let me know that my candidate is in play at different times during the process. Some importers tell me before a phone interview is scheduled, while others don’t tell me until after an in-person interview. Very rarely, I have found out after a placement is made. While it’s always great to hear about placement activity, I’d rather know on a more timely basis. Is there a rule or policy about sharing this information? Exporting in Ecorse

Are your clients stuck on a list of unrealistic requirements? More times than not, organizations are fixated on lists of requirements. This might be a software, or an industry experience or other skill related to a bullet point on a job description. Of course, you can never tell or direct your clients to change their approach. This directive level of influence is usually limited to a doctor, lawyer, CPA or clergy. Recruiters or even search consultants, not so much.

The road to riches is never found on the path of least resistance! I believe this is true in life but there is no profession where this concept is more important than recruiting. While good things can be achieved through social media and using email effectively – I see too many recruiters who use this as a path of least resistance versus picking up the phone. This was reinforced during a conversation recently with fellow member Jim Lyons. Jim is passionate about targeted recruiting – perhaps Jim is our next guest blogger on the subject! Anyway…Jim and I agree on the point that the art of picking up the phone and engaging a candidate or client seems to have faded from the forefront of recruiting for many. The most successful recruiters are winning through person-to-person contact!

I pride myself in making sure I give good feedback to keep them interested. What am I doing wrong? What other suggestions do you have? Ghosted in Gaylord

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky I’m guessing everyone is looking for ways to “take more shots” in 2019! In my experience, great years occur when you work more orders and market more candidates. Not every deal is going to come together so spend less time wringing your hands over those deals that fell apart. Think about how you can continue to push more send outs (first interviews) into the pipeline! Your success today is less about your pipeline and more about new activity that you have initiated. Don’t be the bird that spends half its time sitting on a nest and waiting for eggs to hatch!

Dear Nicky, I'm an importer and want to share a tip that might help other importers as well. Whenever I enter a job in Marketplace, I then run a search to see if I can find similar JOBS. The reason is that I might have a great candidate who isn't a fit for *my* job, but could be perfect for another partner's job. Or, that partner might find the right person for my job. There's a fair amount of crossover with similar jobs in different locations, so my candidate in Atlanta (who doesn't want to relocate to New Jersey), could be perfect for a similar job already in Atlanta. I think most of us typically think that importers should be looking for exporters, but I've had some luck with this strategy of connecting with other importers in the same space. I hope it works for others, too. I'm looking forward to a great year! Hunting in Houghton

New York City recently enacted such a ban, joining Massachusetts, California, Delaware, Oregon, San Francisco and Philadelphia. It’s a hot-button issue, with numerous other states and municipalities considering enacting similar bans, while many businesses remain opposed. In one noteworthy development, the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce sued the City of Philadelphia to stop the enforcement its ban. The ban is now stayed pending court determination.

For the past 6-8 weeks, we have been experimenting with a platform called ClearView Social that allows members to share content across their social platforms with just 1 click. The content to share is a combination of member-written blogs/articles, NPAworldwide blogs, and occasional third-party articles that are relevant to recruitment. There are about 65 people currently participating in the pilot and we're ready to expand it to a larger audience. What is Clearview Social, and what is this pilot all about? Clearview Social is a social sharing platform that allows to you quickly and easily share blogs and other business content across your LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook profiles with just ONE CLICK.

Dear Nicky, I got a call from an NPAworldwide recruiter telling me they were going to contact MY client because I did not send along a resume they deemed a perfect fit. Can they do this? What are the rules? Fuming in Fennville

Dear Nicky, One of my clients requires that we submit all candidates via their ATS portal. After a year, submitted candidates become the property of the client. Is it OK for me to submit candidates from my partners to this client? Cautious in Capac

Dear Nicky I received a call from an NPAworldwide partner telling me she placed my candidate, which is great news. I then saw in the Membership Updates that her firm is resigning. I know the placement has not been entered into Marketplace yet. I called my partner to remind her, but so far the placement is still not entered. Since that firm's resignation is likely to be final before the client makes payment, am I covered by indemnification if something goes wrong? Nervous in Newaygo

Dear Nicky, It's finally happened. One of my clients is changing its terms for recruiters. The new policy states that after 45 days, any candidates I have submitted no longer "belong" to me and I won't be paid for any placements of said candidates. How does this impact NPAworldwide?

Recruitics, a company that provides recruitment marketing automation and optimization, published a blog titled 10 Reasons You Can't Find Your Job on Job Aggregators. (Disclosure: We work with Recruitics to maximize our job board advertising spend.)If you've ever posted a job on Indeed, for example, or any of the dozens of other job aggregators and then run a search to find your own posting, you might have been surprised when your job didn't show up in your search results. Recruitcs offers the most common reasons this happens with some explanation for each. It's well worth reading the full post - you'll learn a little bit more about how aggregators, browsers, and search algorithms really work.

As you are maybe now aware, NPA promotes all of the Jobs posted on the NPA Job Board on multiple aggregator sites. You too might be using the same sites, but since we are doing pay per click, there is a good chance the NPA submission is the one generating your results. You will know if you get an email that says the candidates is a Job Board Candidate. Here is some good insight on how to write an effective position description:
