How Devices & Media Saturation Have Changed Your Candidates
Staffing Talk
MARCH 14, 2013
Like you, I love to rip on Millennials. In the same way that, I suspect, every generation rips on the one(s) that come(s) after. “They’re different, they’re lazy, they’re spoiled, and – dammit – they’re changing things.” Or, in the case of Millennials, they’re narcissistic and entitled, love dubstep and hideous retro fashions, and have you ever even tried talking to one?

Bachelor’s Degree in Staffing: A Look Into the Future
Staffing Talk
MARCH 15, 2013
The path to becoming a recruiter is often not straightforward. It zigs and zags, taking detours into sales and customer service before it emerges happily into the previously unknown Land of Staffing. The career lacks visibility – and the kind of nudge that only a career counselor can provide. But what if the seed were planted even earlier? What if students attended college to become recruiters?

Using The “Negative Sale” In HR And Recruiting
Staffing Talk
MARCH 14, 2013
“ It’s a little counterintuitive, but I’m a big fan of the ‘negative sale.’ I put all of the objection-response stuff up front. ” That is a bit counter-intuitive I’d say, to lead with the bad stuff about your company or organization when interacting with potential hires. But that’s exactly the approach that William Tincup, the CEO of HR consultancy Tincup & Co. , suggests using with your talent pool.

Slouchers and Bad Policy: Why the Labor Force Keeps Falling
Staffing Talk
MARCH 11, 2013
Despite the recent good news that the unemployment rate is dropping, the labor force participation rate continues to fall. Tyler Cowen has commenters blaming the ‘dismantling’ of unions. I wonder how well that jives with what those of you out there in the staffing industry are seeing? I haven’t worked a desk recently, but I do talk to execs that buy a lot of staffing, and they certainly point to other problems.
How I Was Wrong About Obamacare
Staffing Talk
MARCH 13, 2013
OK, I got it wrong, and I have my staffing customer friends to thank for setting me straight. You see, when I first read about the healthcare reform act and its impact on employment costs, I thought ‘price goes up, demand goes down.’ That’s how it works, right? Yes it does, but what I didn’t count on was what economists call ‘unintended consequences.’ And just what are the ‘unintended consequences’ of Obamacare?
Managers & Meetings: Why Work Doesn’t Get Done At The Office
Staffing Talk
MARCH 11, 2013
Businesses and organizations spend all this money on the office, and they make people show up there all the time, yet that’s not where the work gets done. What’s that about? Why is that? Those are some of the questions about the workplace asked by Jason Fried. He is co-founder and president of 37signals , a Chicago-based company that builds web-based productivity tools.
The Staffing Industry Is One Big Middle School Lunchroom
Staffing Talk
MARCH 13, 2013
So I’ve been reporting on the staffing world for a while now – talking with industry pros, going to conferences, reading all the niche pubs, etc. – and I’ve definitely gotten a very specific vibe during the process. And that vibe is a middle school lunchroom. Not a very flattering comparison, I know, but that’s my outsider perspective, so take it for what it’s worth.

Staffing, Food Trucks and The Culture of Competition
Staffing Talk
MARCH 12, 2013
If I had to pick one word that described the staffing industry, it would have to be ‘Competitive’. Competition is what makes staffing brutal, but it is also what makes it great. The same goes for food truck business apparently. I say apparently because here in the Twin Cities there are no food trucks to speak of. We have some great markets and food stands , but trucks don’t make up an important part of our culture.

How to Get Your Commercial Staffing Company Started in Tech
Staffing Talk
MARCH 14, 2013
When my Dad started his temp company in 1974, it made sense that he would make tech staffing the core component of his business. After all, he had spent the previous 15 years opening up engineer staffing offices around the country for Design Service and Manpower. But he didn’t do it that way, something I thought odd although at age 16 I had neither the ability nor the chutzpah to suggest to him otherwise.

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.

Review: House of Cards

MARCH 10, 2013
Ok, I lied. This is not a review of Netflix’s self-produced sex and politics soap House of Cards. If you really wanted a review, the one by New Yorker ’s Emily Nussbaum (in which she used a pretty cool word that I had never heard of – ‘ hoydenish ’) is still online and viewable free. Get it while you can. All I can say is that myself I’ve recovered from staying up all night two nights in a row watching it.
