Oh I've got this nailed….a lawyer with your social media policy in their hand. Haha! You think I jest, don't you? I'm not. Not at all. HR is running scared from Social Media. And the lawyers are making them do it. Bad for Corporate, outstanding for me. (I'm in retained search, no rules remember? Just those moral ones I impose…) …
I'll never forget the day that our favorite IT guy (ever) came to me, and told me, the vendor we were working with, was trying to recruit him. I think he wanted me to beg him to stay. I didn't, but in hind-sight, maybe I should have. I asked him what they were offering. I told him I really wanted …
The XXX Olympics (I snicker every time I type that. Should I use the number 30 instead?) has been running for the last week and there have been some high points and low points. The NBC coverage – both real-time and prime-time has been difficult to manage and some of the connectorati have voiced their outrage at how crappy some …
If you’ve been in HR for at least 30 minutes you’ve heard someone in your organization bitch about a bonus. It comes part and parcel with the gig – from the beginning of time when the first caveman decided he needed some additional incentive for his cave drawers and developed the 5 drawings and you get an extra brontosaurus burger …
This past week I’ve been putting some finishing touches on a Pecha Kucha presentation I’m giving at the end of the month. Pecha Kucha – pronounced “pa-chok-cha” – is a style of presentation made up of 20 slides (predominately images) shown for 20 seconds each. Originally devised by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in 2003 in Japan, it was …
Recruiting can be a dangerous place…judgments can abound. I’ve written before about past responsibilities I’ve had as a sourcer. During telecom’s peak in 2000, my company proactively searched job boards to retain staff that were testing the waters for new careers. That was a time when a candidate could post a resume and within 24 hours be interviewing or on …
Over the past month I’ve been asked several times by different individuals, what are my top 3 sites for sourcing and what are the tools I would recommend. Got money to burn? Think I’ve got nothing to do? I don’t know. I’m happy to chat with you all you want, but I don’t know that I’m necessarily going to give …
I’m looking at LinkedIn profiles this morning. I’m actually re-verifying a list of candidates, the organizations they work for and Hoover’s information. Good fun stuff early on a Friday. It’s actually pretty tedious. But as I’m clicking and cross referencing, gosh darn it if I don’t see your LinkedIn profile pic. Post whatever you want on Facebook and use your …
I am so irritated. Over 96 characters. 100 if I’m lucky. I almost always tell recruiters to search their Applicant Tracking System (ATS) first when seeking candidates. My advice isn’t new and I get really grumpy when people say they don’t want to or there’s nothing of value in there. I think there is and I think they just can’t …
Hey HR – want to get more innovation out of your employees? Want to amp up the creativity index in your staff. Look no further than a 7-year old. The Brainstorming Session I’ve been a part of many brainstorming sessions. Some good. Some bad. I always like how they start with “There are no bad ideas.” Unfortunately, yeah, there are. …
