In December 2011, TechCrunch published a short-but-brutal article that will live in infamy as one of the most influential HR-related articles since Fast Company published Why We Hate HR back in 2005. In what is perhaps the most boring piece of tech news to come out of this week, German software giant SAP has today announced that it will buy the US-based SuccessFactors, a company that …
From time to time I like to think larger than one client, industry event and/or the current problem in front of me. I take 2 hours off and unplug. I usually start with a “big idea” or “big question” and I give it my undivided attention. In this case, I thought about recruiting technologies I’d like to see in the …
I got a note earlier this week – WorkSimple, a pretty innovative SaaS play in the performance/social recognition space, is closing its doors in a matter of days. Here’s the email that went out from Morgan Norman, the founder: WorkSimple is Shutting Down After exhausting all options, we are forced to close WorkSimple. We’re devastated to have to shut down …
I haven't read the book HR Champions because there are much better things to do with my life. I need to finish the first season of Homeland. I would like to travel to India. I still haven’t finished Moby Dick. (Don't tell my English teacher.) I have bigger aspirations for my life than reading a book about Human Resources, but …
It seems like hardly a day goes by that I don’t get a call or email from an HR or recruiting technology vendor who has something to sell me.

I am a huge advocate of training. One of my favorite former employers required all of their employees to attend training of their choice annually and that was a huge benefit that they even extended to contractors, like myself, and I took full advantage of it. Over the years, I’ve attended sourcing training from a variety of vendors and of …
There was some “news” this week that broke about acquisitions in the HR technology space. SAP acquired Success Factors which acquired Jobs2Web. Whale eats fish. As an everyday HR gal in the trenches, do these acquisitions really mean anything to me? As a customer of none of those products, not so much. I watch and follow along though just so …
