Listen – It is the hardest thing to do in an interview. It’s almost as hard as showing up to work after a late night eating grilled meats and watching fireworks. Happy Birthday, America. #4thofJuly Recruiters and hiring managers pay thousands of dollars to training firms to become the best interviewers. They buy pricey technology that is supposed to predict …
Today at FOT I get to announce a new sponsor, Paycor, and I get to announce to our audience something really cool that Paycor is doing with the launch of their HR Center of Excellence (HR COE) site! It’s a must-see for sure! Paycor has 30,000+ SMB companies they work with and they were able to bring all of this …
Time for a quiz, my fellow HR aficionados! Look at the three numbers below. 7… 84… 3,321 Your job is to find a rule based on those three numbers that will allow you to predict the next number in the series. Ready – GO! I’ll give you the answer at the end, but take some time… jot down your theory. …
Does anyone want to be Equifax right now? Home Depot? The Office of Personnel Management? Or anyone else involved in identity theft news stories? No? Then fix your applicant tracking system. I wasn’t as successful as FOT Alumna Meredith Soleau at running my own business, so I’ve been applying to jobs again recently. Lots of jobs. And holy cow, the process …

Some of us love it when those solutions are delivered via technology, which in 2016 is the rule rather than the exception. Some of us drag behind in the adoption of the tools we purchase ourselves – to say nothing of the …
It’s time for HR folks to step back from their reliance on Technology and go “Old School.” Recently, Bill Belichick, the head coach of the NFL New England Patriots, announced he was ditching the use of a Microsoft Tablet on the sidelines and going back to his old system of still pictures to make in-game decisions. He was going back …
A lot is written on employee engagement. Probably too much. Check that. Not probably, actually. As an HR pro and someone your company probably relies on for engagement ideas, I know you struggle. I know that even though most engagement problems exist in the three feet of air between an employee and their manager, you are still the one responsible …
If you haven’t heard, video killed not only the radio star, but also the resume. The resume isn’t dead yet, but the video interview is a naughty vixen pulling the hiring manager’s attention away from traditional resumes. Video is the Blanche DuBois to the resume’s Stella Kawolski. Stella gets the job done, but Blanche kicks things up a whole ‘nuther …
I had a boss who used to love coming in and giving the generic management direction of “we need to work smarter, not harder”! Thanks, Einstein.
