Occasionally clients will come to us in need of some insight as to why one of their positions isn’t receiving enough applicants. Their applicant traffic is falling short of what they would expect given the market, position type, unemployment rate, etc. In fact, here’s a recent inquiry from an ExactHire applicant tracking software client that was concerned about the number of employment applications being submitted for an arguably common, in-demand, type of position – Web Developer. “

'For the last five years, I’ve been hearing a lot about “big data,” a hot topic in the IT/data-nerds world and, increasingly, for all of us. Recently, I was lucky enough to attend the Tech@State event, “Moneyball Diplomacy,” which focused on connecting technology with the opportunity to aid U.S. diplomacy and development.

'How did a footloose travel blogger secure $50,000 for himself and $50,000 for some sick elephants from a multi-billion dollar corporation? For brand infringement? O utside of the courts? Internet shaming. Over the last week or so, fans of the highly mobile temp worker Turner Barr noticed that their hero’s brand, “ Around the World in 80 Jobs ” had been usurped by none other than Adecco Group’s marketing team.

'When I started recruiting a little over ten years ago, I always looked forward to meeting candidates in person as they arrived for interviews. It was mostly curiosity, but I also wanted them to feel welcome and begin building a relationship regardless if we were destined to become colleagues. Today, as our geographies continue to expand and technology connects people instantaneously, I no longer see my candidates in person.

'How many high schoolers can visualize the daily challenges of a career in the offshore oil industry? Probably very few, which renders a thriving industry virtually invisible to up-and-comers. (Or visible only through the negative limelight of an oil spill. Do you think BP is a fan of the phrase, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity?”). For oil giant Maersk, this widespread unfamiliarity, compounded with a tidal wave of retirement , exposes a clear recruitment problem.

'Putting a check mark in one “yes” box on a job application often means the difference between working and despairing. But a sweeping wave of legislation is poised to help ex-offenders whose pens have hovered over the dreaded “Have you ever been convicted of a felony” question. The official campaign, known as “Ban the Box,” aims to erase that question from job applications and verbal exchanges with candidates before a first interview is granted.

But skepticism quickly arose in the comments section. “Everyone talks about the plans that are available, but no one has shown an actual plan with coverages and premium schedules,” one read.

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.

'Forget about the career section on your company website, never mind with career fairs, and stop mining the Internet and utilizing technology to find good people to hire. The only way hires are made these days is if someone knows someone, and that someone knows you. Or something like that.

If there were an easy answer the question would not pop up so frequently, nor would companies like mine find themselves working with both groups depending on the client. Companies would choose the right one; if there is a clear option that is better, smart people will gravitate to it.
