	Should the Recruiting Department Be Charged with Financial Malfeasance? by Lou Adler - May, 2010 Earlier this year I presented a financial model that demonstrated that on average, hiring a C+ person instead of a B+ person costs a company somewhere between 50 and 100% of the person’s annual compensation. This becomes a huge waste of resources if you do this more than once. For examp...
	The Seven Secrets of Passive Candidate Recruiting by Lou Adler - May, 2010 Between 1978 and 2002, I personally made 457 placements.

	Letting Go of RIF-ed Off Rage: Survival Stages & Strategies for Soon-to-Be Terminated Employees by Mark Gorkin - Apr, 2010 One way I know that the economy is still in trouble is by speaking topic requests: a) recently I wrote about an after-dinner presentation on “Letting Go” for a career transition support group; to be tactful, many folks were “in between” jobs and b) two weeks ago I led a program on managin...

	If You Don't Find Me First, You're Too Late by Lou Adler - Mar, 2010 There are three basic types of metrics that should be used by recruiting departments to see how well they’re performing.
