Almost every month the Jobs Report is great news for recruiting. As the labor pool shrinks because unemployment is so low, the need to find top talent is often outsourced to Executive Search agencies. Additionally, the baby boomers are starting to retire and the millennial’s are having fewer children and […]

Read moreI find it interesting how restaurants are moving more into the seafood category on their menus. Living my life on the Chesapeake Bay I can’t bring myself to order “Maryland Crab Cakes” in another state … like the midwest. Not so long ago those who didn’t live near the water […]
Read more“Lifestyle dieters” want choices in where they eat which often makes it difficult for restaurants to recruit managers that understand that concept. Just when gluten-free has begun to be manageable for most QSRs to safely serve for both customers who must refrain from gluten, along with those who simply opt […]

Read moreThroughout the years of recruiting, I’ve seen the “style” become more and more casual. When interviewing for a job you have make sure you “look” the part of the job you are applying for. It should go without saying that the interview is the first and only chance you’ll get […]

Allison Siciliano Albanese says that Michael Kunkle matched her with the best company for her!I would really like to commend Michael Kunkle on his sense of urgency and his recruiting talent! I sent my resume to many places including restaurants and offices and let me tell you, doing that on my own these days, it’s hard to get recognition. The job market is over saturated with applications, and I was lucky to get a response before the job was already closed to another interviewee. Michael Kunkle made me feel like it was 1995 all over again, he was personable, quick and to the point. I felt like I had someone on the inside to actually get me an interview before the job was closed. I had no worries, getting the interview was now no sweat!! Not only did I get the first interview he set up for me, but I got the job and was told I was the only one picked out of 12 others for that store. Michael matched me with the best company for me, almost like he’s known me my entire life! Michael has real talent, and I hope he’s well taken care of! Thank you, Michael!
