I don’t know that there’s a worse feeling on this earth than bringing your dog to the emergency vet at 4am and leaving an hour later with only his collar and 13 1/2 years of memories 💔🌈🐾
I’m no fashion forward gal; I’m currently wearing an oversized sweatshirt with leggings and I haven’t touched my hair since yesterday. But I am not feeling Emily Blunt’s dress or The Rock’s suit tonight…

Recruiter life hack: not sure how to pronounce a candidate's name? Don't wing it. Google it first then ask if you have the proper pronunciation during introductions and formalities. It's a small gesture that shows you care.
Personally offended that the beagle wasn’t in the top of the hound group, but if any dog wins it should be the Treeing Walker Coonhound because it’s basically a big beagle.

Case studies will be done on companies like
@Chewy
, companies that could teach a masterclass on empathy and the art of the PEC. Well done, I’m a customer for life….or at least during the periods of my life when I have animal friends again.
Ok so who else is wide awake? Husband says, “don’t worry, the dog isn’t flipping out...dogs know tornadoes”. Meanwhile the dog is sound asleep and me, the weather lover, is freaking out
#TornadoWarning

Watching your old dog having daily seizures, temporarily losing eye sight, panicking because their legs just won’t work and just plain breaking down is absolutely heart breaking 💔

Did I get everything done today that I wanted to? No. Will I be working late to make up for it? Also no. Setting better boundaries....it will still be there tomorrow.
Our online application allows candidates to add an optional note. 99% of candidates leave this blank, but today I received this one, "Hey! You are probably looking at hundreds of these- go drink some water. I hope you see something funny today."

Don't apply to the same job twice in one day. And actually, while we're at it, if you're rejected for a position, don't reapply. If you're unclear as to why you weren't selected the first time, try and ask for feedback and clarity.
This is hands down the best group of guys on any season of this show. The way this group rallied around Connor and shared in his sadness has just got me all in the feels

I’m running into the same issue booking tickets for next month. I’m also stumped as to why they aren’t running any trains back to Philly from NYC after 8pm…
Because we could all use a little levity, I feel it my duty to bring to your attention that The Great American Rescue Dog Show is currently airing on ABC and the first category is “Best in Underbite” 😭
I feel like this has come up before in
#recruitertwitter
land, but today for the first time ever, a candidate directed me to their calendly to schedule a call for them with our Director of Software Engineering. What are our general thoughts on this?

Faster to get home too - who the hell wants to pay $ to sit in a gridlocked parking lot for an hour+ just trying to get back to 95/76 before actually making the drive home?
Turning over a new leaf and will actually take PTO for things that matter to me that are not strictly vacation. Tomorrow I'm taking a half day to watch the inauguration and try my hand at making a deep dish pizza. Some self recommended therapy.
If there’s a silver lining to the pandemic it’s that I got to spend my dogs golden years at home with him. Being fully remote until mid-September will likely allow me to spend his last days with him.
I’m creeping my way through my late 30s without a single emotion about getting older, but today is my dogs 13th birthday and even though he’s as healthy as he can be, I can’t stop crying. Who remembers this little sweet nugget from 12 years ago?
Happy 9th birthday to my crazy, neurotic, adorable, and all around lovey dovey little beagle bubby Harvey. He’s loyal, caring, loves a good snow fall and can always make me smile even on my worst days. Love you so meeeech my sweet boy.
My first-ever recruiting hire just celebrated his 5-year anniversary with us. A lot has changed in my role in 5 years, I often question if I'm even any good at this, but then I look at how many people I've brought on to our team and how they've killed it...damn that feels good.
We, recruiters, carry phenomenal power. We are given the ability to present diverse candidates to hiring managers. When we do it and we do it well, we can change the hiring landscape.
#HIREConf
Woman in aisle drops a can of tuna on the ground then walks away. I ask if she would pick it up and she says, "if you're so concerned why don't you pick it up yourself?". So that's the kind of world we are living in these days...
Screened a candidate on a Thursday, hiring manager interviewed her Friday, Chief Talent Officer interviewed her this morning, verbal offer accepted 3 hours after the call, she starts next Monday. What...a....rush!! (actual footage of me and my hiring manager)
This is the first year in recent memory that I have no gifting game plan, no plans to see my dad in NC, not able to see my mom in NJ, no grand menu for Christmas and I'm rolling over 7 1/2 PTO days. I'm finally ready to admit that I'm not ok and hate how all of this feels.
Polls open in 7 minutes. Thought we would be smart getting here early, but turns out so did everyone else. This line has to be 100 deep. It is wrapped from the entrance to the building, outside the gate, down the fence (a block long) and wrapped around the corner.

Trying this thing where I go into the office ~once a week just to get a change of scenery and honestly it’s been good for me. I love working from home, but I also appreciate the occasional change in venue.
After 2 hours of pacing the house, my little old man finally collapsed from exhaustion on the kitchen floor. I scooped him up and put him on the couch with his favorite pillow. Fingers crossed I can get even a few hours of shut eye tonight, I’m running on fumes.
So I'm on LinkedIn Recruiter Lite building out a search. I mean to type "dig-" for digital in the skills field and instead hit "did-"...the autopopulated "skill" recommendation from LinkedIn is didgeridoo and now I need to know how many employers are looking for this skill...
Not even 10 and I’ve already managed to shower, blow dry this big ass mane, renewed my drivers license, made a nail appt for 10am with time to spare for a dirty chai latte. Where is this type of energy M-F?

@Adam_Karpiak
If a candidate is considering applying to multiple roles, I'm all for it - there are often different recruiters working on each one. Make sure that the applications you submit are tailored to each specific role so you don't come off as spamming us, we do talk to each other.
A song comes on, a memory is triggered, I cry and I can't figure out why. I look at the calendar and realize that tomorrow makes 4 years since one of my dearest friends took her life. Subconscious grief is such a bitch.
And on the 9th day in the 8th month of the pandemic tucked neatly inside the longest year in the history of years, our house has been struck by the 'rona. Send your thoughts and positive vibes for my isolated hubs who has been banished to the upstairs for the next 2 weeks.
Happy holiday weekend....a candidate just made the decision to renege on their accepted offer so you can find me taking a long walk off a short pier straight into the Schuylkill.
@SeanPageTalent
I can count on 2 hands the number of times a candidate pushed back out of frustration and of those times I've actually reconsidered 1 or 2. Majority of my candidates are just happy to get a "real response from a real person". Takes longer, but candidate experience is better.
A necessary evil of the job is having to reject internal candidates while providing them with feedback from their interviews. Delivering that message 1:1, not hiding behind an email, in a direct yet empathetic manner will never not weigh heavily on my heart.
Did I jump out of bed early to work early and log off early because Mother Nature is prematurely gifting us a 70° day and I want to drink an outdoor adult beverage at the neighborhood bar? Yes. It’s called self care, look it up!
My neighborhood Buy Nothing group is the best. Someone gifted a neighbor an outdoor dog bed and tell me this dog isn't the happiest you've ever seen....
After 2 hours of pacing the house, my little old man finally collapsed from exhaustion on the kitchen floor. I scooped him up and put him on the couch with his favorite pillow. Fingers crossed I can get even a few hours of shut eye tonight, I’m running on fumes.
Is my Amex statement currently a little bit out of hand? Yes. Did I book a stupid expensive hotel for 2 nights with my BFF so we could day drink by an ocean front rooftop pool to forget about our troubles for a few days? Also yes. It's called self-care, look it up.
Today in our hub slack channel, a coworker referred to La Croix as "angry water" to which another responded with, "oh, you don't like drinking TV static?" and I can't stop thinking about it.
Sometimes it’s easy to overlook impact with your head down all day, but yesterday my director made a point on a team meeting to call out a position I recently filled that an agency couldn’t close, twice, because of declined offers. It saved us $30k in fees.

As soon as

learned that Harvey was sick they sent him a little get better bear. Even though Harvey won’t get better, this is one of the most thoughtful gestures a customer support team could offer 🥹🐾❤️

Being exposed to the reality of homelessness isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Anecdotally, I grew up taking the train from suburban NJ into NYC for concerts and games, you don’t typically see much of that on regional lines. Not 🍎 to 🍎, but too much negativity around this.
iPhone facial recognition is 7x more likely to fail after I’ve showered because my phone only knows me as a hot mess. Happy Friday, I’m peacing out early ✌🏻☀️🍹
Last night, after 1 1/2 weeks of listening to nothing but Fox News and My Pillow commercials, I kindly asked if I could change the channel. My mom got all huffy. So guess who woke up extra early and disconnected and packed the TV where she can't get it for a few days?
Not bad for a last minute table setting by someone who loves Christmas, but has been in a deep state of depression the last week. It isn’t my historically elaborate setting, but at least it makes me feel a little more put together…
I haven't been the interviewee in almost 7 years. I have the questions in my hand, I know what I need to say, yet somehow I'm still nervous and in the grand scheme of things none of this even seems that important. What an emotional day.
