This week on TRF we cover:
- Blink and we missed it. From our part of the world, there wasn't much fanfare over the solar eclipse.
- Fama’s newest product inspired a #MagiOfFit on several channels and gave us a chance to share how hiring the right fit will raise everyone’s game. Leah Sobering was Shelley’s Instant Fit.
In the News
- Angela Hood named by Inc. as 106 out of the 250 top female founders. Big round of applause for Angela and This Way Global.
- Canada’s unemployment rate jumps to 6.1% in March, yet the job numbers remain flat.

Tip of the Week
- The less talking from the recruiter, the better the interview. Favourite interview question: When were you happiest at work? What were you working on?
Your only job is to listen.
Recruiting Insight
- New catch phrase alert: The Great Talent Grab. ZipRecruiter survey reveals incredible growth of new hires reporting they were recruited in. Speculation on why?
- VP of HR claims she was not moved forward in the hiring process because of her natural appearance, no make-up.
- Internal mobility is a belief that the best new talent are those who already work for you. Hiring Managers struggle to get on board with letting their top performers move internally.
