Avoiding Workplace Bias

“Bias at the Workplace - 11 ways to avoid it” By Irene Gloria Addison We are all humans and possibly one of the most human elements in our behavior is bias! And bias comes in so many flavors: it can be based on your tribal origin, where you went to school, where did you grow up, if you have tattoos, your weight, skin colour (tone of it and whether you bleach), your gender, your age, your height, your religion, and so many other things… that list is ‘endless’.

20-tips on how-to talk with Heahunters

Headhunter is a generic term used to describe recruiters or executive search consultants, usually people searching for senior candidates or people 'really going after a candidate'. Some argue that a recruiter is for low lever jobs, a Headhunter for trained professionals and all Senior Management roles are handled by Executive Search firms. Whatever the case might be, these 20 tips apply universally to anyone approaching you to pre-screen you for a search assignment that they have got from their clients.

Your CV and Numbers in it.

As an active recruiter (I am the owner of HIREghana, www.HIREgh.com ), my associates and I come daily through several candidates' CVs (we have a repository of 30000+ Ghanaian CVs). Over the years, I have also read several -unfortunately- bad books on CV writing and a lot of outdated online advice. And while there is plenty of advise on what to write and the how-to, there is rarely emphasis on adding 'cold data' on your CV.

There is plenty of advice to google on interview techniques. One less known but possibly highly effective method/ skill-set to ace your interview is NLP. NLP stands for NeuroLinguistic Programming.

Your LinkedIn Profile Photo - all you really NEED to know about it.

As an active recruiter (I am the owner of HIREghana – www.HIREgh.com), my associates and I, come daily across through several hundred of LinkedIn profiles via our candidate sourcing searches and via our very own professional networking too.

Reality Bites of Job- Hunting

My associates and I at HIREghana (www.HIREgh.com), we posted almost 3 weeks ago an opening for a Personal Assistant (for a CEO). This article is based on our experience with that 'current' job opening (that search is finished as of now). I thought that it would be nice for candidates to have a look at real numbers -at least based on our own experience- on the job market of today! I hope/ I wish that the other recruitment agencies are equally transparent and help all candidates (and employers too) get a better inside into the current Ghanaian Job Market.

HIREghana’s Job Reference Etiquette

We are all aware that whenever we apply as candidates for almost any role, we might eventually be asked for a few employment references from our previous role. And even though they might not be so common for junior and entry- level roles, they are almost the rule for all professional and senior placement. And the same way that you spend time preparing a CV and a Cover Letter, you should also invest a good amount of time preparing a full list of references and keep also a long-term active relationship with your referees.
