Much of what I’ve addressed in my Improve Your Hiring Process blog series to this point has been about bringing efficiency and structure to your hiring process. Not to discount that by any means, as larger groups of unqualified applicants for open positions makes this more important than ever. But, ever think about why so many unqualified applicants end up in your pool?

'The interviewee steps tentatively into your office, hat (figuratively or literally) in hand. You offer your hand and his sweaty palms shake it a little too hard. You beckon him to sit, and he does ever-so-gingerly, as if he could break your chair if he’s not careful. His eagerness to please seems to be making him extra nervous, even jittery. (At any rate, you’re hoping that’s the only thing making him jittery!).

'I suspect many career-minded people share my paralyzing fear of making the wrong career choices. More than most, recruiters are particularly prone to self-analysis about their careers and their career paths. After all, a good portion of the day is spent judging other people on their career choices and career paths and making decisions based on those choices and their explanations.

Is writing job descriptions more of an art or a science? It is perhaps less of a science than it used to be since practices like keyword stuffing are now counterproductive while the focus is truly on producing quality content (as it should be) these days. I’m going to take the easy way out and claim that its a blend of both art and science…or perhaps, strategy is a better word.
Recruiting Brief brings together the best content for recruiting professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

When you were a kid, did your parents ever ask you, “What did you do today?” Typically the answer, “nothing,” would roll off the tongue and away you went doing something else. Or, maybe you now ask your children this same question as you have gotten older. What if someone asked one of your new hires what they did with your organization on the first day of work?

'Capuchin monkeys don’t like unequal pay. Nor do dogs, cats, elephants or bears. The video is pretty clear about that. Thankfully, people don’t like it either. That’s why we need fluid labor markets and the staffing industry. Staffing companies act as catalysts to fluidity, and the profit they make is a measure of how effectively they reduce arbitrary inequality.

'Remember the scene in Jerry Maguire when Dorothy Boyd is packed and ready to move to San Diego for her new job? Then, Jerry proposes just before Dorothy and her son (“the human head weighs 8 pounds” kid) are about to hit the road. She decides to stay, Jerry “had her at hello” and that’s a wrap. Ever since the credits rolled, I’ve wondered about the company Dorothy abandoned in San Diego, and the bind they were in when she bailed.

'In the rapidly changing business world, you need to evolve or die. So, naturally, change is a part of business and I’ve got news for you: not all changes will be welcomed and successful; some will fall flat on their faces while everyone you care about is watching. When that happens, how you react is of the utmost importance. Imagine it being like your pants dropped in the high school cafeteria and everyone points and laughs.

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.

'It’s not often that I get the opportunity to chat with one of the many talented developers here at TempWorks (they’re always so busy working on the next new and exciting tech project), but when I do I always come away thinking we just mentally invented “The Next Big Thing.” Such was the case with my recent chat with Joe DeCock.
