HR Crucial to Executive Compensation Process

The world of executive compensation has changed during the past few years. Never before has there been more attention paid to the finer details of compensation programs, and the roles of key players in the executive compensation process have changed dramatically.

In most companies, it is now the job of the board compensation committee to govern executive compensation - and for good reason. Board members have a fiduciary responsibility to manage not only the costs of the executive pay… Continue

2008 SourceCon Sourcing Challenge 1 update - The Fab 5

They are only 1/3 the way there but have the night to get a little further ahead. If you can find out who the 5 are, then they might be kind enough to give you all the clues

Harry told me he will be back same time same channel tomorrow

Good luck!

The Silver Lining Exists

There is often a silver lining to everything. You just need to look for it yourself.

The big news from last week was the negative report that employers slashed jobs nationwide to the tune of some 63,000 in February. In fact, this news was easily the lead story for much of the day Friday.

Well, here’s some news that’s equally important (and very relevant), but I’d be willing to guess that many people won’t see it unless they’re looking for it and you especially won’t find… Continue

Monday Recruiters

Funny Stories for Monday floating around.

Towards the end of a job interview, the recruiter asked a young engineer fresh out of an Ivy League school, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The recruiter said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement fund for 50 percent of your salary, and… Continue

Dave, You Rule!

I had a personal emergency today and didn’t go online until almost 2 PM this afternoon. Lo and behold, there were over 200 linkedin invitations in my gmailbox! And the day isn’t over yet.

WOW! All thanks to Rock Star Recruiter Dave Mendoza, mover, shaker, kingmaker – or queenmaker, to be gender-exact. This phenomenon has nothing at all to do with me or my overnight popularity. Au contraire, it is a reflection of the leadership and strong sway of Dave… Continue

In Defense of Eliot Spitzer - NOT

Eliot Spitzer, the governor of NY, has just made headlines as an allegedly admitted customer of a prostitution ring. This is the guy who, as NY’s former Attorney General, prosecuted more than his share of sex workers.

This is my Letter to the Editor that Chief Executive magazine published in June, 2005. It was in response to an editorial on Spitzer’s heavy-handed treatment of business.

Spitzer’s… Continue

Are you effective? Seek first to understand...

If you haven’t already, I suggest you read The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. If you don’t have time to read the book, buy it on tape and listen to it on your commute. If you’ve already read it, it’s worth picking up again and revisiting.

The reason that I suggest you read this book is because its principles have had a profound effect on my life, my relationships and my career. By continually focusing on developing these habits, I have over time become a… Continue

New LinkedIn Recruiter Product

I just watched the 10 slide demo on the new recruiter product that LinkedIn has released. In my opinion, there is no doubt LinkedIn realizes that there is money spent on every recruiting angle out there so why not get involved. I was watching and I was enjoying and starting tho think that maybe they get and feel the pain the recruiting industry feels. But then, I think around slide number 5 or so they say you can use the… Continue

Crafting Your Story in a “Check-Box” World

In a previous post I disclosed my personal career challenge of not being able to check a box that appropriately fits who I am and what I have to offer. This is very frustrating in a world that really seems to LIKE boxes! Knowing this, we need to be sure to CHECK the boxes when trying to communicate our value.

I have always had this problem, but it became most apparent when I tried to transition… Continue
