This is the first of several promised posts on my Dad's years with Manpower, beginning in 1966 and culminating in 1974 when he bought the Manpower franchise in Sacramento, thereby making the Pinto to Mercedes transition. A Pinto , for those of you not old enough to remember Walter Cronkite or Kent State, was the cheapest, most accident-prone, maintenance-intensive nightmare of a car you could ever own.

Ok, I've been dishing it out to Microsoft the last few posts. Time to show I can take it as well. I was in cutting a new clip on Direct Hire this weekend, and I just got reamed by my 10-year-old daughter. I had brought her along so she could make a few bucks cleaning monitors but she happened to listen in to my recording. Time to make some improvements Dad: 1.

It’s no secret that today’s hiring market is tough! The constant changes can make it seem impossible for HR leaders, hiring teams, and hiring managers to remain flexible and agile. However, there’s a silver lining amongst all the hiring chaos, as these changes also bring great opportunities and fresh ways for HR leaders to gain that competitive edge in the race for top talent.

I'll give Microsoft a B+ for their response to my sql2005 flame-mail to BillG. They got back to me with several helpful tips and did it with a smile, and a couple of my issues would have never surfaced if I had gotten some training beforehand. But the end result is that I'm still left with a weak product that doesn't come close to the enterprise class tools that I'm used to in the mainframe world.

In case you haven't noticed, Ben Bernanke has replaced Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The press is fawning over his every breath as if one false move will cause yield curves to invert, growth to disappear, and interest rates to soar. The staffing business, the first to feel the effects of economic change, would go down the tubes if you were to follow this line of reasoning.

Earlier this week, I did a post on a major collaboration between Microsoft and SAP in a project code-name 'Mendocino'. With Mendocino, they seek to unlock the desktop treasures trapped in Microsoft Outlook and make them available to the enterprise. In other words, they want to take your company email and turn it into business intelligence. It's a great idea, although not necessarily new because several cutting edge technology vendors (including TempWorks) have long since made inbound email part

There is big news at TempWorks this week. I'll give a hint now and put up a video clip by the end of the week. If you follow the Microsoft press, you'll notice that they have announced a partnership with SAP to create a joint product that basically puts enterprise application functionality into Microsoft Office products like Outlook. This makes sense because Outlook in particular has become the de facto CRM software of choice, and it makes no sense to leave those emails as separate silos of info

There is no shortage of anecdotal evidence supporting the theory of the star programmer. In fact, given the ubiquity of technology workers today, almost all of us can attest to situations where one sharp guy (they're usually guys) outperforms a large team of people. Tom Esvlin, venture capitalist and author of one of my favorite blogs, has taken a stab at proving the theory.

Last weekend, I had the chance to meet up with a senior exec for a Japanese manufacturer, a man that manages some 250 sales professionals around the country. We met because his 12-year-old daughter and mine concocted an evening out with their fathers to Noodles and Company, followed by a movie, Stick-It (Noodles was fine; the movie wasn't). I'm not sure what the 12-year-olds discussed, but there was a lot of giggling and he and I dealt with it by zooming right in on our favorite topics: sales an
