On managment trivia and leadership "small talk"...

Quote for the Day: Thursday, July 5th, 2007

"This is a serious malaise. Managers feel comfortable discussing trivial issues because there's less at stake. Important issues cause trouble because discussions about them can lead to people taking difficult decisions. Difficult issues don't usually need experts to solve them. They need willing people to try to understand, evaluate, make a decision and then do… Continue

The 4th of July means...

The 4th of July is about celebrating our freedoms and remembering just how we were able to win and defend them. To me, the 4th of July is represented in the symbols of our freedom, the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, and…

Bigger and Better Wireless?

All this buzz about the new iPhone got me wondering how far we are on the road to having "broadband in our hand". I was at a very informative IEEE luncheon this week. The speaker was Dan Green from TriQuint…

SourceCon behind the veil

I am seeking to confirm information (which I already have) pertaining to who is backing the conference.

Surely there is a reason for the tight information security.

I believe Shally is involved as an adviser, can anyone confirm ?

I believe Leslie (whom I admire) is a central cog in the machine and given what I believe I know about her that is a plus.

I would not be surprised if Rob is strategically involved.

Jim - you know something, I saw your "Recruiters…

So This Is Blogging

I've read RecruitingBlogs.com for a little bit now. I still haven't formed an opinion just yet. It's interesting to say the least. I've been to so many recruiting communities where the objective was to link to everyone and their grandma, or post jobs all day long. I like to observe and start off with connecting to folks I "know". I've gotten 6 invites since I officially joined here. I haven't accepted or declined them yet. To those who've invited me to connect, please don't take it personal.… Continue

On Human Capital, you get what you pay for...

Quote for the Day: Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

"The problem with the term “Human Capital” is that it perpetuates the notion that human beings are interchangeable anonymous widgets. People who are treated as if they were capital, start to behave like capital. They move to the source of the highest return as quickly as possible without regard to loyalty."

John Sumser, Strategic… Continue

Launched!!!

Well, over the weekend the National Labor Exchange officially replaced AJB. It was a hell of a time but I think we did alright. We'll be watching the drama unfold over the week and see how users (jobseekers and employers) take to our version of a national labor exchange. Much props given to the boys in Technology. One cat was moving in to a house all weekend and had to stay up much of the night friday and saturday. Also, massive props to the Chad for getting a lot of states lined up in support… Continue

On recruiting passive candidates, not...

Quote for the Day: Monday, July 2nd, 2007

"I really do hate to buck this week's trend, but passive candidates are no better than active candidates. Passive candidates are simply people

who are not looking to change jobs, but that does not make them better

candidates any more than it makes active candidates bad because they

are looking for another opportunity."

Medications Stockpile

I received a comment yesterday from bloggrr re: my blog on Survival Skills. She asked about shelf life of Synthroid which got me to thinking about medications and how they would

be affected by a disaster.

Bloggrr, the shelf life of Synthroid, is said to be about 2 years. However, it

is prone to degrade faster in response to light, temperature, air, and

humidity. Some of the disaster preparation…

What draws you back to a recruiting blog?

Hi all,

I've decided to take the plunge and start a blog and trying to decide what to focus on. There's a lot of recruiting blogs out there, all different styles and tones. I'd love to get people's opinions on what they like about the ones they visit often. What do you want in a recruiting blog?

Thanks for any thoughts on this!
