Welcome to FER! Created in September 2008, this site is to discuss the front end of recruiting now and in the future and will be ever-evolving. Front End is defined as the starting point - the strategy planning process that drives the rest of the recruiting cycle. Its mission is to act as a one-stop-shop to keep you on top of the latest and FUTURE tools, techniques and trends in recruiting research and sourcing. Most posts are gleaned from those who are the gurus in each of these categories with commentary from Dorothy Beach, Recruiting Researcher and PHR CIR (http://linkedin.com/in/dorothybeach). We have a sub-group for jobseekers to post tips and watch-outs about this crazy job market.

Now contracting for Accenture and sourcing and screening for Data Center infrastructure "top guns" that have consulting and project management experience. That means you have implemented, integrated, consolidated and streamlined for cost savings data centers or NOCs or server farms and did that well (thank you very much). You have done this using project management tools or some other way to add process to these projects so you can provide metrics. You might have 2 to 15 years experience - it doesn't matter, we have jobs open for all levels of experience, especially if you come from Accenture's competitors and live in or close to the largest cities in the US. Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is in a hiring ramp-up so take advantage of this unusual opportunity in a down market. Contact me if you have a Bachelors degree which is the icing on the cake at Dorothy.Beach@Accenture.com so we can talk about your career next steps.
