I love getting stories like this in my inbox. The woman who sent this to me felt like it was too cheesy for her style — so she asked me to keep it anonymous. I can tell you, however, she means every word of it. = = = = =. I have been in the staffing and recruiting industry for over 11 years now. When I first started off, I was just out of college.

Organizations are always looking for more effective ways to distill and distribute complex reports as digestible chunks. For example, for the past five years we've been working with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to increase the impact of their researchers' rich analysis on health insurance coverage. Infographics are a great way to distill and distribute complex reports as digestible chunks. read more.

By now, it’s become common wisdom: harness social media as much as you can. While that’s true, there are some tools that seem easier than others when it comes to making connections and filling a larger job applicant pool. More specifically, whether you love it or loathe it, everyone can acknowledge the power of Twitter. Although the online communication tool is difficult for some people (like yours truly, who can’t seem to reach 100 Tweets to save my life), for others it seems

A few weeks ago I covered a story that was originally run by Business Insider. I called it “ Whatever You Do, Don’t Act Like These Guys “ The story featured a recruiter named Joe Goddard and an anonymous emailer. Basically both guys acted like idiots and I found it to be a perfect example of how NOT to conduct yourself via email. Joe apparently felt like he hadn’t shown us enough because I received this lovely item in my inbox this morning: Hi Paul, my name is Joe Goddard

Okay, this is going to seem kind of weird. A couple of days ago I wrote a piece on fear. You know, admitting our fears, facing our fears, and all that, intending to post it today. Just before I did, I went to this site and saw Gregg Dourgarian has posted a piece on motivation , and hunger and drive and what success does to all that. Not exactly the same, but similar!

“ No revolution ever started on a full stomach”. Those gold coins weigh you down, and it happens in staffing just as much as it does with tech startups. They keep you from making that last round of sales calls, from filling that last hard-to-fill job order, from giving up a Saturday morning for an interview with a great candidate. When I started my airline software business in the 1980s, I had literally nothing in my pocket and was ready to do whatever it took to make a success.

Maybe it’s because I’m over 50 now that I feel entitled to offer this sort of advice randomly without it being sought by anyone in particular. As always though if you don’t like it, take comfort in the fact that it may be worth what you paid for it. I reflect on this in particular because of the passing of Peter David, a highly respected senior writer at the Economist who I often quote and who unfortunately died recently in a traffic accident in Virginia caused by a reckless driver who rear-ende

The other night I was watching an NHL playoff game — a rare occurrence in and of itself. But then something else even stranger happened. I saw a national car commercial that actually mentioned temps. And not only did it mention temps, and show temps at work, as it were, but the entire platform and national ad campaign is actually labeled Temp Drive.

I’m no fitness expert. Not a doctor. Nor could I touch my toes six months ago. But when my tennis league started up last Fall I knew I was going to have problems if I didn’t do something to deal with the fact that the 20-somethings I play against had figured out how slow I was to get from one side of the court to the other. It was after a particularly bad outing at the end of October that I realized the problem was beyond me.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

Do you feel younger hiring managers are inclined to exhibit “subconscious age bias” and subsequently “pass” on hiring the perfect candidate for the position they are hiring for if there is an obvious age difference? This LinkedIn discussion that I saw recently comes via reCareered.com , a career advice and job search information site, and I thought the discussion is worthy of looking at in this space.
