How to Nail Your Response to This Top Job Interview Question

How many times have you been prompted in a job interview to tell the interviewer a "bit about yourself"? Countless websites, including The Muse, Indeed, Resume Genius, Novoresume, and LinkedIn, place this prompt at the number one spot for most common job interview questions. And despite how frequently interviewers offer this prompt—and even how simple it may seem to answer—many candidates struggle to answer this question succinctly. Many assume they need to somehow summarize everything they've written on their resume and cover letter; others think they should expand on their personalities—their hobbies, what they do in their down time, and…

Why You Should Rehire a Former Employee

This week, a surprising headline took LinkedIn News by storm: "Why returning hires are coming back." We find this surprising because, as the author of the news article Riva Gold notes, for many, there is a taboo associated with an employee returning to a previous place of work—for employees and employers alike. It seems like a messy practice to take up, no? So, why should you rehire a former employee? We've got some pretty compelling arguments as well as ways to not sever ties when an employee approaches you with a letter of resignation below! Why Employees Are Returning to…

The Value of a Process and 3 Steps for Sales Training

Recently, we at Workwolf have noticed a huge uptick in the demand for sales professionals. In fact, just this week, a LinkedIn News article by Greg Lewis revealed that the sales industry was one of the most recurrent industries among the top ten most in-demand positions on LinkedIn. And as Steve Trang, a sales trainer extraordinaire, as well as real estate "disruptor" and podcast host, notes, sales can be a very profitable career path if one has the talent and work ethic to make it a long-term career. But, as Trang recognizes, not everyone will thrive in such a career.…

Create a Recruitment Roadmap with These 5 Simple Steps

Earlier last month, in a recent article for CNBC, Research Director at Indeed's Hiring Lab Nick Bunker noted that this year's labour market is "getting closer to a marathon pace" in relation to last year's "sprinting" pace. And, crucially, this slowdown is "welcome," Bunker notes; "it’s the only way to go the distance.” Still, employers and job seekers alike need to proceed with care when looking to secure worthy candidates and job positions respectively. Employers in particular must remain agile and competitive to ensure they continue to attract the best candidates. The best way to do so, it seems, is…

Take Your Sales Career beyond Just Selling

With sales as competitive and a company's success as critical as ever before, we at Workwolf have been diving into ways you can improve your sales tactics. And one of the most common themes that comes up time and again is the need for going beyond just selling in the sales industry.

The Top 4 Tricks for Sales Managers

4 of the Best Ways to Personalize Your Hiring Process

In September alone, 64,000 new positions—as Jessy Bains reports for LinkedIn News—were added to the Canadian job market. And while this is three times more than the expected 20,000 economists anticipated, it is still below pre-pandemic job rates. And it is crucial to note that these jobs were added predominantly within transportation, warehouse, and education industries. Meanwhile, numbers of positions in real estate, finance and insurance, construction, information, and recreation continue to fall. So, especially if you're looking to hire in the latter industries, how can you increase the likelihood of catching the eyes of top talent? We recommend personalizing…

Misaligned hires, early turnover, and processes that leave both recruiters and candidates frustrated. Today’s most effective recruiters are rethinking everything—starting with how they evaluate talent. They’re moving beyond the basics, embracing smarter, more strategic approaches to hiring.

According to a report by Jobscan, 75% of resumes are never seen by a human because keyword-based ATS systems filter them out before reaching hiring managers. Many businesses rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to streamline their hiring process. However, these systems often prioritize keywords over actual qualifications, leading to missed opportunities for top talent. While ATS platforms were designed to make recruitment more efficient, they frequently end up eliminating qualified candidates who don’t fit rigid keyword criteria.
