You know how the English Oxford Dictionary always releases new words each year that have become such a common part of the language that they earn a place all of their own?

Whether it’s past or current (we hope it’s the former!), terrible bosses can hassle you, annoy you, be overbearing or all of the above to the point where it is just impossible to work for them.

When deciding what traits to look for in your recruiting pool, there are lots of opinions and little consensus. Some experts claim that optimal traits are role-dependent: the personality traits that make a great customer service rep aren't the same ones possessed by an outstanding salesperson.

The excitement of finding an incredible passive candidate is a feeling I still remember from my time as a recruiter. “This is the perfect candidate,” I always thought, “This person needs to know that their current job is so much more annoying than what they’d get to do here!” While I knew what would be in it for me, it was easy to lose sight of what every passive candidate I found might be looking for in not only a new opportunity but also what he or she might want out of their interactions with

The gender pay gap has been a problem facing women in the workplace for decades, and despite some progress, it’s still a very real issue today. In 1974, women earned just 59% of their male counterparts’ median annual wages. By some calculations, that figure rose to 79% by 2014 ( the BLS reports 83% ). So it took 40 years for the gender pay gap to narrow by just 20-24%.
