Who is responsible for Attrition?

HR Heads are worried about employees leaving their organizations. Not only is it costly to lose trained employees but their replacements are not easy to come by. Hence the HR strives hard to keep attrition at the minimum.

How to get everyone to remember you

Here is how to get everyone to remember you privately and professionally.

I am here to give you my secret to success and how you will be remembered by everyone you meet. It is Thank You Notes. I know this sounds simple and maybe even silly, but here is what I do. Every time I got to a party, not a kegger, but a party, I write a thank you note for the invitation. I do it for friend's parents, my husband's boss, my manager, my social network...anyone. It does not have to be long, but… Continue

Recruiting Today's Top Grads

The Washington Post Magazine had an interesting article yesterday about college recruiting. The article certainly over-generalizes the current college recruiting environment (not all graduating students are getting this treatment, and not all employers are applying it). What it does show however what some top-end companies/government agencies are doing even in a softening economy, as well as what things are important to the current generation of graduates.

A worthy read if you are… Continue

you might think "what could go wrong?" -- well, I've been running latpro.com now for 11 years and here is what has gone wrong from time to time.

it's not actually a complete list, as some things are just not easily discussed in public -- but it's pretty close to complete I think.

The interaction between social needs, politics and commerce is the very essence of community. Friction, the stuff that happens so that bigger ideas can be generated, comes from conflicting agendas. It should be no surprise that the blogging on RBC features lots of…

Yahoo! & Wikia - User Engaged Search

Yahoo! just announced, as part of their SearchMonkey initiative, the launch of Search Gallery on Wednesday and TechCrunch has a piece on the new and improved (“doesn’t suck”) release of Wikia Search.

Am I becoming a programmer??

I think I learned something this morning. I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination. I understand how to use the 4 BASIC html tags (bold, italic, underline, bullets) - that's it. Being a guy that has recruited computer programmers for the past 8 years I've had numerous candidates ask me if I write code. The only code I know how to write is igpay atinlay. So here it goes, if I have a live link in the next sentence then I officially have learned one more programming trick. Ready? (Oh… Continue

When candidates hate companies.....

Recruiting on a developer position, I found the right guy and spend the time qualifying him. I have a list of where he's interviewing and my client isn't on it. Excellent sign because I know they're competitive when it comes to their packages and the rest on his list are so/so. He emails me to ask the name of the company and I reply. This is his response:

"Oh god no! [edited] is the anti-christ. I have (and many developers I know) avoid that company like the plague. I would rather… Continue
