4 Reasons Why Analytical Skills are a Must for Every Recruiter

Spark Hire

When hiring recruiters, it’s not always such an easy job. While you can find many “recruiters” in your searches, to find a great recruiter can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. One of the biggest things you need to pay attention to when interviewing recruiters is their analytical skills. Sure, people skills, sales skills, and marketing skills are all important, but without analytical skills a recruiter will often be subpar versus the Allstar recruiter you are looking for.

3 Ways to Help Employees Understand Their Worth

Cornerstone On Demand

How often do you talk about pay with your employees? It's likely only a few times a year: when they get a raise, bonus or promotion. And during those limited times you discuss pay, the context around the conversation often amounts to little more than, "You're doing a great job." The lack of communication around compensation leads employees to make their own assumptions about their worth — and how their paychecks stack up to their peers.
