As reported first here on StaffingTalk , the worse-than-Myspace pathetic spam trap that bombards you with authentic-seeming email solicitations and connections from people you don’t know – and don’t want to know – otherwise known as LinkedIn sucks.

I was recently talking about the years I spent as an entertainment reporter with an acquaintance of mine who happens to run an executive search company.

First, a little background.

Don’t look now but the French government is making noises about pulling the rug out from under the very common practice of looking the other way when healthcare workers, particularly nurses, take on extra shifts at neighboring hospitals and clinics.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

One thing becoming clear to me with our latest staffing software contracts at TempWorks and with my own recruiting is that the world is getting smaller as many companies, even medium sized ones like customers of ours with 50 to 100 internal recruiters, are going global both in the customers they serve and the candidates they recruit. That presents an interesting challenge to us as software developers.
