On educating tomorrows workforce and the poor getting poorer...

Lately, I have been keeping the domain name info off the main page here and putting it in the domain name group I set up but I figured this is too good to only share with the 13 people who are members of that group.

On HR and Staffing MIA or AWOL...

Quote for the Day: Tuesday, July 24, 2007

"If talent acquisition is to be the linchpin for how HR finds, develops and retains employees that drive their firm’s performance, then Staffing is truly the lead element in the war for talent and, for most, it is unequipped to do its job, poorly trained to operate as a team and poorly organized for the mission at hand."
