It was only a matter of time before the meme craze hit colleges and it has done so in a big way. Well, there is no better way to share fun than through a meme these days but the creativity you observe from college education based memes is just astounding.

College Education Memes Background

Since the 1970s when Richard Dawkins coined the term ‘meme’, it was not really about images and video clips.…

My friend, a candidate I placed 15 years ago at MicroOptical Corporation (the company Google bought the "Google Glass" patents from) is a former Everest climber, who wrote the book on the search for Mallory and Irvine (first team to summit Everest in 1924, but died on the descent).

He has a client who has developed a search engine that is much better than Google or Bing (much more specific, no extraneous results, searches text perfectly to find results, understands text rather than…

The world’s population is expanding on a daily basis - it is estimated that by 2050, there will be 9.7 billion people on our small planet.

That sheer number of people that will exist on the planet by that time means that there will be a larger need for energy and power than at any point in human history to date. As a result, governments around the world will be devoting an increasing amount of time and money towards solving their energy needs. With fuel commanding higher prices than…

Most fields have evolved and developed to match up to changing times and the recruitment field is no exception. With social media being widely used by employers of different fields on a large scale to source qualified candidates, hence the need for suitable tools that can speed up the process is inevitable.  

Tools like Plug – Ins, Add – Ons or browser extensions, assist recruiters and sourcers alike in capturing right talent at the right time. Therefore you have browser extensions…

Despite how social recruitment is as an industry, many agencies and consultants are making big mistakes in the ways they share news through social networks.

Some of these mistakes are basic, some are less obvious, but each of them can significantly hold you back from gaining the followers and influence you deserve.

Recruiting has shifted in a clear direction – one where social recruiting has become the norm.  Being able to connect with potential candidates online has opened up a whole new world of possibilities with expanded networks and reaching passive candidates with much more ease.

Out of this trend, new technologies like talent communities, portals, networks and others have emerged.  There are many versions of these, ranging from engagement as a simple Facebook page to something more…

Myths are common to all fields and recruitment is no exception. These are common misunderstandings that are passed down from the first generation to the next and the next and the one after that. It is a vicious cycle that can do no one any good, unless identified and rectified.

Although you might think that you don’t fall in to the category of individuals who are victims of the vicious cycle, guess again? Do you recognise any of these myths in you?…

Did you know that from late 2009 to 2012 the number of temporary workers in the workforce increased by 29%? I think we can call that a rapidly growing sector of the workforce, especially when you consider that private jobs grew by less than 1% in the same time…

With budgets and headcount pretty much frozen until the new year, if you’re like most recruiting organizations, it’s time to actually take a deep breath – and a step back – while planning for what’s next for you and your recruiting organization in 2015.  

The inevitable end of the year slow down is also a great time to make sure that your professional recruiting skills can…

Paper can cause a lot of problems for a Human Resources department. Electronic employee files help HR eliminate paper to become more efficient.

Managing employee files can be a true challenge. Paper is easily misfiled, lost or even accidentally destroyed. That's why many companies are making it an initiative to switch to…

Remember when LinkedIn used to say it wasn't a job board? Oh, wait - I guess they still do. Yet if you ask a room of HR professionals that question, the answer is crystal clear: "Of course LinkedIn is a job board!"

Well, I would argue that Indeed is going through something similar. Launched in 2004, the site for many years defined what a job aggregator was: a site that aggregated the majority of its jobs from job…

No one is pushing you out the recruitment door, but if you don’t stay up-to-date on updates… your browser will. Not all browsers were created equal and with that said, it’s time to catch up to modern web development standards. Everything from the desktop browser capability to career page mobile responsiveness has an impact on the quantity and quality of the…

You’ve all heard of Willy Wonka. You know him as a chocolate maker, an inventor, a whacky entrepreneur with a particular love for musicality. But do you also know him as a fantastic recruiter? If not, it’s time to change your perceptions.

Congratulations on your new hire! The hiring process can be tiring, especially if you don’t have to go through it that often.  But before you get back to business as usual, remember that one stage of hiring a new employee ending means another begins: orientation and onboarding.  Perhaps you think this involves some paperwork and…

It’s all too easy to play the game their way. Following their rules, their pricing, their way of doing business. They are the customers, your competition, the majority of the market, and playing their game doesn’t serve most firms very well.

If you’re really satisfied with playing the game their way stop reading, because this post is not for you. For the rest of you, here’s how you play the game your way:

How you’re sabotaging team alignment, let me count the ways. I get it, no manager or leader intentionally sets out to destroy the alignment of the teams that they’ve built, but it’s what we don’t know that can hurt us. You may not realize these ultra-common ways that leaders are tearing down exactly the thing they’ve worked so hard to…

People hire folks that remind them of themselves.  This is a debate that has gone on for a long time in the workplace. The question that many organizations must ask is, “Are you challenging your employees to hire the best or who may be a “fit” for your company?”  At The Lambright Group, we are continuously requested to find candidates that meet the qualifications of the job description and a profile developed by either Talent Acquisition or the Hiring Managers. If your company is fortunate…
