Straight Talk for the Recruiting Profession


Ronald Gulick III

Ronald Gulick III graduated from ACU with a degree in Communications while minoring in Marketing. Upon graduation, he worked for a dotcom at which he was placed by Spherion. After being laid off, he was asked to be a recruiter, and he has been recruiting for Accounting and Finance temps ever since -- that was 10 years ago. Spherion eventually spun off the Mergis Group to do professional staffing, which is where Gulick is currently working.

Fun Friday: 99 Problems, Recruiter-Style

I have qualified for my company’s Performance Forum trip nine years out of ten that I have worked there. For the last five years, it has become tradition that I perform a LIVE rap with the band on awards night. Unfortunately, this year, I won but was unable to attend, so I did what I do best and still made sure my tradition lived on: I created a rap video. I was very fortunate to have a wonderful staff of teammates to help me act, shoot, and complete the video on time.

As I was completing the video, I thought it might also be a great way for me to differentiate myself from the competition. I am pretty certain that very few recruiters are making rap videos that their clients get to see.
