In preparation for SHRM 2007 in Las Vegas, I asked bunch of clients and industry contacts to share what they thought was most likely to be overheard at the conference.

And the winners are...

10. Is that Cheezhead or a Philip Seymour Hoffman look alike?

9. HR Generalist 1: My boss thinks I'm here to get a new certification but really I'm networking for a new job.

On the brain drain...

It's a fools bargain. Foreign or younger workers cannot replace what the older workers contribute in the way of institutional memory, long-term relationships and applied creativity. The company loses both the knowledge capital… Continue

Pardon me...

Why do I hear recruiters say that it is an intrusion to call a candidate who isn’t actively looking? I’m tired of it. It isn’t an intrusion unless you are rude about the way you present yourself. It is FLATTERY!! I love receiving a call from someone trying to recruit me because they either found me to be in the top 10% of my field, or someone else thought enough of me to pass my name and number along because I’m all…

www.VirtualPrivateLibrary.org - a website worth checking out ...

Recruiter's are always on the prowl for great internet resources with useful information that allow us to source, scout, attract and hire talent.

I stumbled on Mr. Zillman's website in 2004, and thought his website was pretty cool back then. Today, I am still just as impressed with the amount of information this man freely shares via his website.

One of the cool things you can access freely on his website is The Virtual Private…

On Feng Shui and retention best-practice...

"If we had cubicles or even individual offices with walls dividing us, the recruiter may have been able to hire away a valuable member of our team. He failed because in an open office environment it’s awkward to take a call from a recruiter and talk numbers, during work hours. Everyone can hear you.…

What does it take to attract a VC to your Company/Idea?

A couple years back I worked with Venture Capitalists in the high tech space. I wrote this article after observing so many companies and people trying their best to attract and secure venture funding for their company or idea.

While this article doesn't address recruiting specifically [my chosen passion] it in a big picture manner of speaking can be very relevant to recruiting.

Where there is money invested, recruiting is sure to…

Fashionably Late

So, I have finally arrived, fashionably late as usual. Something I think is tremendously overrated - punctuality. It doesn't matter what time I leave - I am notoriously late. Something else I am really bad about - RSVP'ing to something and changing my mind at the last minute. I'm not sure why, I think my attention span must be shortening...

On the future of recruiting technology...

"The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today."

Plagiarism

Jason wrote a me a little note on this topic not too long ago, but just in the past week I've been hit twice by well-meaning individuals who I am flattered have gotten some use out of the information on my blog but have neglected to use quotation or post a link back to my blog and the original post(s). Here is the latest example from an ERE group:

On communal blogging and "free speech"...

"Yes, you own your own words. But you also own the tone that you allow on any blog or forum you control. Part of "owning your own words" is owning the effects of your behavior and the editorial voice you foster...Shock radio hosts encourage abusive callers; a mainstream talk radio show like NPR's Talk of the Nation wouldn't hesitate to cut someone off who started spewing… Continue

A Very Successful Fordyce Forum from what I Hear

Congrats to a very successful first Fordyce Forum. Dave Manaster showed

some real genius when he acquired it. He showed some more genius when

he took it on the road and I am sure we will see a third example in the

next 12 months.

Craig Silverman had this to say about it:

I was very impressed with the attendees at Fordyce. Congrats to Dave

Manaster and Paul Hawkinson on getting 175 big… Continue
