Here’s more about Sarah Morgan:

Sarah is an HR executive with a small company in North Carolina. She oversees the full team functions of the Human Resources department for her company. She manages the hiring process including recruiters and people who do the hiring.

Sarah has been featured in Black Enterprise, Computerworld, and Fortune. Her blog is one of the Human Resources most respected blogs.

Here are some highlights from our conversation:

• Sarah said, “…it is appropriate to do a little loving social media stalking and build a natural rapport.”
• Relationship building is the name of the game now. How we look for jobs needs to evolve and relationships built (before you need it) is the way to go
• Asking for the hook-up lacks authenticity if that is the way you start a relationship
• Sarah offers some examples of how people have connected with her and her company
• We discuss how to break into the Human Resources profession
• Aspiring HR professionals need to get experience and be creative in “creating space.”
• “Persistence is necessary. Recruiters and hiring managers tend to be juggling lots of requisitions…Likely their time is spread out.”
• Follow-up is a must. Ask for a timeline to when you should call back for updates.
• Thank you notes are essential – all panel interview participants should get a note
