Today is a big day. There are several hundred human resources professionals descending on Washington DC to participate in SHRM’s Leadership Conference Hill Day. They are lobbying our Congressional leaders on things like healthcare, tort reform and quick and easy access to H-1B visas. Here are three things I want SHRM leaders to say to our elected officials. You should …
Would You Sign This Petition? STEM, SHRM and the Body of Knowledge
This is going to sound crazy. Wait for it… wait for it… wait for it… I want to change HR. Seems a bit premature… story of my life. (We’ll have to delve into that with another blog post.) When folks outside of the ecosystem of HR think of HR, they think of: Personnel and Staffing Compliance People People That’s about …

Bankroll HCM: Follow the Money #SHRM13
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 …
Live from #SHRM13: @SteveBoese Puts the Social in HR
Steve Boese 1, 4PM presentation slot on Monday 0. That’s no easy slot to have after a long day of presentations but Steve had no problem filling the seats. It could have been because of how dapper he looked in his suit. Or maybe it was the free t-shirts or dishing on who has the best BBQ (it’s Texas in …
Conferences: Find Better Speakers
Over the past two months, I have been to three conferences (Ohio SHRM, Recruiting Trends, and Digital Dealer). Each conference had good sessions and bad sessions. I want to talk about the bad ones and piss off about half of the speaking circuit. Motivational Speakers? Are Stupid. Nothing makes me more upset than spending $800 to attend a two day …
So you want to use LinkedIn…but you don’t want to get fired…what do you do?
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 …
Sourcing in 2012…It’s not what you think….
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 …
You, Your Social Media Presence, and Gosh Darn It…That Picture You Posted…
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 …
#SHRMALT11 – Working for a Better Atlanta – Bless Their Hearts…
Yesterday I made the 3-hour drive to Atlanta to attend the final day of the two day Atlanta SHRM event in – well – Atlanta. The drive isn’t that bad – except for the hour it takes to get from Atlanta to Atlanta. I’m convinced people in Atlanta don’t live in houses or apartments. They all live in their cars, …
