How do you promote your Recruiting/HR Team Internally??

It brings up more questions than answers in my mind.

Depending on your company culture, HR may still be seen as the workplace equivalent of going to the principal's office. So then it's up to us as HR professionals to promote all of our strategic efforts, to get out in front of the office and be seen as a positive contributor to our organization's success. Right?!

Sure ,we do this with our HR Management and/or VP's, but do your worker bees really get it?

I'm sure the… Continue

The Client Side - The Malaise Continues

It's tough out there folks and there is no hiding from it. We have seen things revert to where they were in the fall with positions melting away. Somebody tweeted a question this morning asking for what industries or jobs are still in high need and in need of recruiting assistance. We have about 1/4 of the jobs that we had a year and two years ago so while things are way down, we do still have jobs. We even had a client this week who builds bridges pull their positions after the stimulus… Continue

Hawaii Update 2/19/09

Hello Everyone

I wanted to send an email out to everyone and I appreciate all of your kind regards over the past months. As some of you know The Brand Management Group suffered a fatal blow with the US Recession and the sudden demise of the TV program in part. Since December when we shut down things have been idle at best and Helpwantedhawaii.info is still going strong and was recently rated a growing blog from Wordpress. Actually it is a large online job board I created over a year… Continue

Frupervisor Fires Frolleague

Urban Dictionary: A Froleague is a co-worker and part of your Facebook network. A Frupervisor is your Supervisor at work and on your Facebook.

Here is a story. The names have been changed to protect the innocent….and guilty.

It was Monday morning when Bob got the call. “He lost his teeth and his arm was broken” said his girlfriend. Her boyfriend, Larry, was in a horrific auto accident.

Bob tried to send flowers to Larry at the hospital but they didn’t have a… Continue

Holding an ace up your sleeve?

Honesty is the best policy.

Certainly a phrase we've all heard, and likely one of life's first big lessons imparted on all of us. Why, then, do we have the temptation to keep information to ourselves or tell half-truths? Do we really think we are getting ahead? Will this sneaky tactic truly pay off in the long run? Considering that the majority of my career is ahead of me I won't make any claims to be the foremost authority on the subject, but some of the most honest and forthright… Continue

A New Way of Leadership?

I have written a couple of posts related to gender and leadership recently (Jan 29th and February 12th). I find myself drawn back to the same topic today. There are several ideas or themes that bring me back:

* I believe very strongly that we suffer from a critical absence of real leadership today. Our current situation is framed as an economic / financial crisis, but I believe it is actually a crisis of leadership. And I have come to… Continue

Why do I blog?

My hat's off to Dan for inspiring this post. After reading his I began thinking about why it is that I blog here.

I think what it boils down to is my desire to continue learning and expanding my knowledge not only of my profession, but the world around me. That may not sound like it has much to do with me writing blog posts, but bear with me. I think that knowledge and learning are paramount to success. Anybody who tells me they are pondering whether to go straight through grad… Continue

Bye-bye secret bank account

My how times are changing... you might have heard that UBS has agreed to pay $780 million in fines as part of an IRS investigation into the hiding of money offshore to evade taxes.

What rankles me is the suspicion that from late 2002 to 2007, UBS helped wealthy American clients illegally hide $20 billion, evading $300 million a year in taxes. Math time!

That would be… Continue

Where Does One Go From Here? The Economic Question.

In the past 2 weeks, new lessons emerged which show me that I am the sum of my effort, and the outcome of my own inward passion.

In the short space of 2 weeks I have learned a great deal from others, as many good folks reach out to make this young upstart a better man.

Service to others, my family, coworkers, friends, associates, and others is so vital.

How can I lift up others if I find myself worried about circumstances I cannot control? The lesson of these 2… Continue

RiseSmart Marketing Shift May Create Relationships

By Richard Becker, Copywrite, Ink.

Almost one year ago, two companies set out to differentiate themselves from other job search sites within the same niche: TheLadders and RiseSmart. Each wanted to dominate a subscription-based job site niche that focuses on jobs starting at $100k.

However, with the economic downturn, pursuing qualified employers or qualified candidates in a race toward a shrinking middle seemed increasingly… Continue
