• Give the greatest gift – the gift of a job

  

  We’re feeling the spirit of the season knowing that the most cherished gift you can give is a new job to one of the over 30 Million Americans open to new job opportunities. The numbers are shocking:

  13.9 Million unemployed + another 11.8 million under-employed

  As the innovators of Cloud Recruiting^®, every day we are moved by individuals, real people, who have been impacted by economic issues. So we established our corporate goal to reduce under-employment and unemployment by 10% and you can be a big part of that by giving someone the gift of a job with Accolo… for free. Read More…

  Let’s blow off a lotta steam : accoloTV is live!

  We’re glad to announce the launch of accoloTV – a web video channel that pulls together the most entertaining videos about jobs and employment we can get our job-filling little mitts on.

  Take some time this afternoon to blow off that appointment and enjoy a few laughs. It’s almost the weekend, right? Also, if you find some good vids on YouTube you want us to include, just pop us an email at social@accolo.com and we’ll add them to the channel.

  One extra-cool bit of technology we developed for accoloTV is an automatic boss monitor that can see over your shoulder and automatically switch to some boring spreadsheet when the higher-ups are about to pounce! (Not really, but wouldn’t that be cool?)

• Guide To Writing Good Behavioral-Based Questions

  Within the question framework of the Accolo online application for candidates is the capability for Accolo Hiring Consultants and Hiring Managers to craft behavioral-based questions.

  For the sake of expediency and keystroke-savings, the behavioral-based question is known affectionately to us “in the Biz” as a BBQ. Unlike a conventional BBQ, the Accolo BBQ has nothing to do with a grill, with pork or with pork by-products. Be that as it may, the BBQ is the real meat, the real beef, as it were, in a candidate’s online application. Read More…

• Courteous, Respectful and Confidential

  closing the deal: best practices in extending a job offer

  “If you are planning on doing business with someone again, don’t be too tough in the negotiations. If you’re going to skin a cat, don’t keep it as a house cat.” – Marvin S. Levin

  The key to a successful offer extension is to view it as a process that starts from the minute you engage a potential candidate. By using a consistent and systematic approach, you can minimize the risk of investing countless hours and resources in an ill-fated recruiting effort. Read More…

• Recruiting Toolkit: Hiring Manager Surveys

  at accolo, we measure hiring manager satisfaction as one of our key metrics

  Before we begin an engagement, we survey the Hiring Managers to establish a baseline from which to measure future performance. Surveys are a subjective measurement of your recruiting, but the Hiring Managers’ perceptions of the recruiting function are ultimately the most important metric. If you are not focused on making the Hiring Managers and candidates happy, you are not managing the function with the real customers in mind. Read More…

• EEO Compliance

  Here at Accolo, we don’t like to take ourselves too seriously, but when it comes to EEO compliance, we straighten up and stop joking around.

  Disregarding EEOC/OFCCP regulations can be a huge determent to your company by tainting your corporate image and your bottom line. With an increase in internet applicants and the use and misuse of social network recruiting EEO compliance and reporting has become even more convoluted and important. Read More…
