Alisha Smith

Alisha,

Welcome to a great group site filled with dynamic people.

Ken

Thank you. I still find the question to be very broad. When you say Human Resources you're talking about a very broad field: Legal issues, Compensation and benefits, Staffing, performance management, Org Dev & training, and so on and so forth. Each of these major subject areas could easily have a top 5 list.

But in general, from the network of people I speak with, we are all seeing employment of qualified candidates as the #1 biggest challenge. This would include sourcing and retention related issues.

Okay, now I'm with you. Answer is, it depends on the specific problem. On Legal issues I go to SHRM.org, since I'm a member, they have some good white papers; and I will also , wait for it...., read the regs. Legaleze is nasty but necessary. On some issues I rely purely on experience, do it for a while and you get the hand of it. Some things I talk with colleagues or mentors about it.

I tend not to blog on specific issues, thinking general topics are more informative, but that could change. Google is my best friend, networking is huge, just got back from a hr workplace excellence expo, so I guess you could say I do a bit of it all.

Hey Alisha,

If I can help in any way please let me know. Have a wonderful week.

Casey

Alisha,

Thanks for accepting my add. I do staffing for Telecom clients.

Hey Alisha,

I am the sourcing specialist at Mindfield working with Steph Pilon under Cameron Laker.

You are correct - I would have been that little sleuth.

Now you have an inside track for your recruitment !

great meeting you the other day @ TTC

Hi Alisha....How r u doing there?

Alisha - you live in one of my favorite cities in the world! I was involved in taking a software company public in Vancouver in the late 80's (which led me to becoming a recruiter. We raised 5MM and my partners spent 6MM :) and had an office on Granville Island. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to smooth out the bumps in the road in using RecruitingBlogs.
