When you purchase software, it’s always nice to learn everything about what the software can do right away. However, we all know this is not always a realistic possibility depending on the extent of available features. Sometimes, you have to “grow” into the application. With ExactHire’s applicant application management software we are occasionally asked for ideas on other ways this employment application software can be used.

'As the economic recovery ramps up , it’s likely your employees will start peeking over their current cubicle walls, eyeing the greener pastures beyond… In light of this restlessness, employers need to have solid retention plans in place.

'We hear a lot these days about a ‘skills shortage’ that is purportedly behind the dearth of actual perm hiring. Some kind of national training program will alleviate this problem, so the theory goes. I’m not so sure. Peter Orzsag does a decent job of digging deeper into the problem by looking at the increasing openings-hiring gap. And my favorite economics blogger, Marginal Revolution, gives his take.

'I’ve been following this thread on Hacker News about “B t Jobs”. The thesis of the original post and a lot of the follow up commentary is that many modern jobs provide no real benefit to society. If we put that thesis in terms of the temp business, it would say that one new temp business provides no new ability to put people to work. It simply displaces the work, in sum, that is already getting done by all the other agencies in town.

'Bitcoin and gold serve as highly liquid hedges against expansionary money supply, and that makes them both attractive investments to cash oriented businesses like staffing. Bitcoin further enjoys the advantage of being an efficient monetary unit on the internet. Unfortunately, it is starting to lose some of its attraction as a way to avoid taxation.

'One of my favorite posts ever here on Staffing Talk was David Gee’s last month on depression. It struck a chord with our readers, many of whom are entrepreneurs. That seemed odd to me at the time because in my feeble understanding of it I thought of depression as something that affected people who didn’t have a whole lot going on.

Newly amnestied undocumented workers would be barred from getting healthcare benefits under the ACA which, in one like scenario, would allow employers to not include them in their ACA roster and possibly avoid the 50 full-time employee rule.

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.
