Don't Let Top Talent Slip Through Your Fingers
Attracting the best talent plays an important role in securing your organization's future growth and success. Once you have their attention during the recruitment process, avoid letting them slip through your fingers. The following strategies may be helpful:
As an applicant, you should prepare for a phone interview just as you would for a face-to-face interview. Compile a list of your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical interview questions. Review the company website and learn as much as you can prior to your conversation. In addition, plan on being prepared for a phone conversation about your background and skills.
Federal Contractors Must Notify Employees of Union Organizing Rights (EO 13496) On June 21, 2010, the Department of Labor's final regulations implementing Executive Order 13496 went into effect. This requires federal contractors and subcontractors to post a notice informing employees of their right to organize a union and list a litany of unlawful employer conduct. A posting is not required until the company signs a new contract, subcontract, or modification requiring the posting, and this requirement apparently will not be in any contracts solicited before June 21, 2010 (even if signed after June 21, 2010). For an article about this issue, please visit Jackson Lewis LLP and to obtain a link to the required notice.

The Washington, DC market continues to hold one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Yet many employers still believed an unstable economy would lead to increased availability of higher caliber candidates. In reality, star employees are less motivated to seek a change, so top people continue to be scarce.
Companies are relying more and more on telephone prescreening of applicants. This minimizes expenses and addresses time constraints. In a time where there are many job seekers, the phone interview is used widely to prescreen candidates that will be invited for an in-house interview. Read on for some suggestions to help ensure your success!
