They are the “A” players, the best of the best, the folks who make your company, your department, your division successful and profitable. They are the reason that your shareholders love you. They can save your job.
But what is an “A” player? Most would answer that an “A” player is the best of the best, the cream of the crop, at the top of their game, pretty much an…

I must say I get more phone calls from professional IT staff looking for new opportunities this year than we did last. I was asked by one why we do not call every single person that applies back. I thought about it a moment and actually believe that it would be a huge difference between us and other companies if we simply called each and every applicant. But the time involved with the amount of applicants would pull key staff away from tasks that are essential to the operations. I looked…

Having long been an advocate for clear, concise communication, i cringe every time i read or hear anything filled with high sounding, nonsensical bizspeak, jargon and cliches. Throw in acronyms for good measure. Google the word Jargon and you will find several current and well written articles calling for a cease and desist of the current business jargon. In fact it has become so boring that there is now jargon for jargon, "A Gong Show". If you are not old enough to remember the Gong…

Ahhhhh…..recruiting. What a life! Some days I wake up and have so many things to do it’s hard to know where to start first….other days I might watch a movie before starting the day. My work comes and goes.
Today I kind of feel like a fireman. You know – always prepared but usually just cleaning equipment. Making sure everything is in order for when the fire breaks out. That kind of feeling.
I guess the difference is – I’m not waiting for the call to…

Year-over-year increases continue for all but two of the top 25 candidates most in demand. Healthcare jobs continue to be a bright spot along with healthy increases in sales roles, which demonstrates the continued strength of the recovery.
Firms are advised to actively recruit for these roles as 25% or more of the demand will convert into usage of staffing and recruiting firms.

Recently, someone I know went to a corporate website of a local firm in which they were interested. The company posted a sales position and he clicked ‘apply’. As part of the application process, he was forced to go through a 25 page questionnaire. Inquiring Recruiter? Yes, I HAD to know the details too.
The questions were all multiple choice and many were repeated in different variations. Multiple choice questions are basically someone else’s ‘canned’ answers. Remember…

The February issue of Inc magazine is filled with a number of articles and observations that are all blog worthy. Two items…

Can someone please tell me why an organization would invest real money in any new, cutting edge, or industry-leading HR technology? How are value propositions assessed? Are purchasers identifying problems that need to be solved first, or are they being exposed to technologies and then building an argument for why the technology has value?
I think very few new technologies offer actual, realized value to the early adopters. One area of recent growth and expansion of technology…

I'll give kudos where kudos are due. LinkedIn was a pretty nifty idea. It negated all the Myspace and Facebook triviality and packaged up something that resembled an interactive resume. Not bad.
Recruiters gone wild! People just giving out content that is usually discovered by means of an internet scouring fest? Jockpot.
Well... now LinkedIn is trying to play jackpot. They invited us into their site, pampered us a little, spoiled us a bit. Little did…
