Employee Recruiting: Kicking it Up a Notch

Imag­ine the fol­low­ing: You are hap­pily work­ing at your desk. The phone rings. You pick it up to hear an unfa­mil­iar voice say “Hey (your name).” “Google is inter­ested in inter­view­ing you for a job.” You are flat­tered, but say “Thanks, but I really enjoy work­ing here at (your busi­ness name).” The voice then responds […]

I blog for a living…

Ask me on Mon­day what I do, and I will answer “I blog for a liv­ing.” Start­ing next week, I will be in charge of Mar­ket­ing for Lucrum, a Cincin­nati based Infor­ma­tion Tech­nol­ogy con­sult­ing firm.

This mar­ket­ing cam­paign is designed to attract busi­nesses to locate in the region, thus cre­at­ing jobs and stim­u­lat­ing eco­nomic growth. Some argue that Get Mid­west is too vague. Some say too safe. Oth­ers that […]
