Chaloner & PRSA continue the conversation focusing on “The Recruiter Relationship”.

Chaloner & PRSA launch series focused on navigating the recruitment process.

Everyone at one point in their job search happens upon a job they want to apply for, but for which they don’t completely meet the qualifications. When should you still apply, and when should you treat the job description as law?

Often times our clients will provide us with non-negotiable criteria for candidates to meet; skills that candidates must possess or experience candidates must have to be considered for a specific role. Of course this varies across positions and companies, but there are several items we see cropping up again and again. Some of these critical qualities are simply intangible and can’t truly be taught, but many simply take practice.

Let’s reflect on how to get your hat in the ring.

Last month, we announced the retirement of our founder, Ted Chaloner, and I have just returned from Boston where we held several events to honor and celebrate his career. This included making a major announcement at the PRSA Boston annual meeting where I unveiled the partnership with PRSA Boston to launch The Ted Chaloner Learning Fund.
