Comment on: Blog Post 'Applicant Tracking System Vendors': s making a realistic assessment of what exactly you need from an ATS and how much you are willing to pay?. If you have big company and a generous budget to splash out on an ATS that has all sorts of bells and whistles (and some functions that you might never use), top-notch support offering, and the lot, then you can easily go for some of the big boys on the list. On the other hand, if low cost is a major priority, you can still get a fully functioning ATS for much less - CATS or Standoutjobs for example. Or how about SmartRecruiters, which is even Free and you don't pay anything? At least no one can complain that there aren't options out there, right? :)…; Added by Nik Hristov at 3:20pm on November 7, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'The Problem With Corporate Recruiters': t based some conversations with TPRs who were voicing frustrations about those points. Hope it sheds a little light. Ken - I will do my best. :) 1. Sometimes... sort of working on one of those now. Difference is I found him, as opposed to him coming to us by way of agency. Are they more likely to create a job since he's "free"? Maybe. If he had a 20K fee attached I'm not sure we'd be doing what we're doing. Not saying it's fair, just is what it is, right? 2. I personally have no problem with TPRs communicating with hiring managers, so long as everyone is being realistic. If a hiring manager wants to advocate for a TPR and doesn't mind taking a hit on his/her budget on the fees, I'll champion that - if it makes sense. What drives me nuts is some low level manager who doesn't even HAVE a budget trying to get his drinking buddy some business, just because they're pals. I'm not the problem in that scenario. :) 3. Trust me - this corporate recruiter is not cheap. :) It's not that companies don't want to pay for talent acquisition, it's just they pay differently... No one is paying Hyundai prices for BMW's... internal OR external. 4. God I hope not. :) There will ALWAYS be a place for excellent headhunters. Not all internals can direct source from competitors (some may call that "poaching", I call that "doing my job") and some excellent talent will only work w/ savvy TPRs for confidentiality, among other reasons. There's room, rightfully so, for all of us at the table.…; Added by Amy Ala Miller at 12:06pm on August 31, 2011

Topic: Failing Economy Creates Challenges for Job Seekers and Employers: ties, the deepening economic crisis has the potential to impact every industry, business and household in America. Many companies have gone into survival mode, resulting in budget cuts, hiring freezes and layoffs. Although some industries, such as Healthcare and IT— the # 1 and #2 industries for jobs in Q3 2008 — will continue to provide job security, most will suffer and leave workers in fear of reduced benefits, pay, or even losing their jobs. As businesses evaluate their resources, middle management and high-paying jobs will face the most scrutiny, especially those with an indirect impact on the bottom line. In addition, more employers will offer early retirement packages to make room for younger, less expensive talent, allowing Gen X and Gen Y to move up the corporate ladder faster. However, more responsibility does not always mean higher compensation; these workers will need to set realistic salary expectations. Many employers will look to reduce HR costs to avoid potential layoffs and will need to carefully determine necessary reductions in benefits without damaging employee moral. To help compensate for these changes, more companies will defer new benefits that increase operating expenses, instead opting for more creative, less expensive benefits such as flex-time and telecommuting. The failing economy will also lead to higher employee retention and less job hopping, with fewer workers willing or able to switch jobs. However, more professionals will become passive job seekers to prepare for possible unexpected job loss, and some may even return to school to improve their skills and marketability. “The state of our economy has put a strain on businesses across America. Many companies are going to extra lengths to assure that their organization will stay profitable, while attempting to minimize layoffs throughout this economic hardship,” says Rich Milgram, CEO of Beyond.com, Inc. “As a result of reduced hiring, job seekers will need to diversify their skills, take advantage of learning opportunities, and demonstrate value to employers to increase their chances of surviving this recession. Most importantly, professionals should approach this difficult time with a positive attitude and realize that today’s challenges will lead to greater opportunities in the future.” About Beyond.com, Inc.
