Comment on: Topic 'TRADITIONAL RESUMES': t catches the eye of a recruiter. I'm not sure how your views are, but I always like to put a face with a name. Due to EEOC issues, and cetain ATS processes, these resumes have a hard time making it in the door. This is just my 2 cents. -Mike…; Added by Michael Krug at 3:36pm on August 20, 2007

Topic: Avoid overtime to minimise heart disease risk: s they work in order to keep themselves healthy. According to research published online in the European Heart Journal, people who regularly put in overtime and work ten or 11-hour days increase their heart disease risk by nearly two-thirds. The long-running study of more than 10,000 British civil servants compared people who did not work overtime and those who worked three or more hours longer than the typical seven-hour day. The latter had a 60 per cent higher risk of heart-related problems, such as death due to heart disease, non-fatal heart attacks and angina. Although this may be of concern to recruiters who are running their own businesses due to the amount of hours they need to put it, getting into efficient habits can help them eliminate the need for overtime work. Writing recently on peer-to-peer site LinkedIn, recruitment industry insider Piers Rowan urged recruiters to adopt an OHIO modus operandi, which means Only Handle It Once, to ensure time is utilised effectively.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 5:07am on May 13, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.17': eople engaged in actual conversation don't have to click 'Stop Following'. Even if it's something along the lines of a compliment with a coinciding question, anything beats popping off one-liners. Maybe it's just me, but if I write a post, I like to have people offer counterpoints, agree with some additions of their own, or just disagree (thereby enlightening me to where I may be off-base or where I may not see a situation in entirety) . . . and/or any hybrid of the above, which is more typical as we each have our own existentialism and paradigm. Personally, I prefer actual conversation to making a post that elicits zero response outside of a few one-line compliments. I am inclined to stop posting when dialogue dies . . . because I have a day job and this community is an outlet for me - a place to share ideas, to be challenged, to be pushed intellectually . . . however, we each have our own version of utopian community :) Mine isn't a version of the Stepford Wives Club where we robotically pat each other on the back. Sure, we all love hugs as public praise is good for the ego, but private praise means as much, if not more. Growing up playing sports (and with a single mother), it was always cool to hear a coach yell "great job" from the sideline, but nothing beat that hand on the shoulder, a look in the eye, or a firm handshake. I guess it all goes back to what we value from our experiences with "community" at a very young age.?. Nature, nurture, culture, psychology, etc. all play a part in what we personally consider community.…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 1:35pm on August 29, 2008

Topic: What the 2008 Presidential Elections Have to Teach Us About Video Interviewing: s that may prove quite indicative of the growing phenomenon of online video, particularly as it relates to video interviewing. - "According to Pew Internet nearly half (48%) of US net users visited a video sharing site during 2007." - "On a typical day, some 15% were either watching or posting video." - Some 54% of American adults now have a high-speed connection at home, compared to 45% at the same time last year. - "According to the Pew Internet Project, men are slightly more likely to use a video-sharing site than women - 53% compared to 43%." - *** But it is the young who are really driving the increase with 70% of people under 30 using such sites." *** - "The dramatic rise in the number of video-sharing sites and other websites that incorporate video has had the knock-on effect of increasing the number of amateur video makers." - "Some 22% of Americans now shoot their own videos, with 14% of them posting at least some of that video online." - *** "Video sharing sites are also getting more closely involved in the issues that affect everyday Americans." *** So let's see how this translates to video interviewing (and gasp, video resumes in the future!) - 1. Online video is growing in viral fashion among people under 30. 2. Birth rates are below replacement in “developed” economies. 3. Large segments of the U.S. population are at or near retirement ("Baby Boomers") 4. As the 'World Gets Flatter', there is increasing global competition for talent (i.e. The U.S. isn't the defacto destination for top global talent anymore). 5. "In the summer [of 2007], YouTube co-hosted a presidential debate with TV giant CNN -- The two-hour long broadcast featured all eight of the declared Democratic candidates and consisted entirely of questions that had been submitted online." If the upcoming Presidential candidates have learned that campaigning can benefit from online video, perhaps we should take a closer look as well. Instead of resisting change and blindly adhering to many of the 'status quo' hiring principles (developed in the Henry Ford era), maybe the time has come to start start talking about the future of hiring and how video fits in.
