'It was a great pleasure to attend and speak at The Mobile Recruiting Conference 2013 in Atlanta last week. This was the third year the event has run and Michael Marlatt did a great job of ensuring it was as valuable in terms of insight as the previous two. I''m now back in the UK and reflecting on some key issues and themes that will define how mobile recruiting will develop over the coming 12 months.

You read that right. It’s not a typo. The digital dating service eHarmony will soon offer a job searching function. Their line of thinking is simple. They have some 20 millions users, each with “in-depth” personality profiles. Today’s hiring trends (according to them) suggest that employers tend to pick people based on “four to five superficial traits” much like meeting someone in a bar.

However, there’s a silver lining amongst all the hiring chaos, as these changes also bring great opportunities and fresh ways for HR leaders to gain that competitive edge in the race for top talent.

'Over eight weeks in the summer of 2013, my son and I cycled 3,700 miles across the country, from San Francisco back home to Alexandria, Virginia. The trip was something my son Alex had long been dreaming of and planning to do since graduating from high school. When other co-riders could not join Alex (18), Chris (that’s me, 52) decided to join – and thus launched the adventure, a two-month father-son road trip taking place just before Alex headed off to college.

When companies and managers seek to formulate and design their recruitment and talent acquisition strategies, the overbearing work load seems to leave them feeling stressed. Although, what companies have to realize is that the stresses they experience in hiring and recruitment are nothing compared to the stresses that accompany the potential job seekers.

More and more business practices today involve pirating the top employees of competitors.

'When Newton Murray — everyone calls him Mr. Newton — moved from his native Trinidad to Tampa, Florida, he went to Harry H. Bell & Sons cold storage facility and applied for a job as a janitor. He got the job, and began sweeping and cleaning 90,000 square feet of enclosed warehouse space, plus parking lots and loading docks, for minimum wage. That was 33 years ago.

'As most anyone will tell you, first impressions are the most lasting. It’s said that it takes just one-tenth of a second for us to make our first impression of someone. If someone’s first impression of us is a negative one, that perception can be tough to shake. Now, the temp you recently recruited and placed at your client company probably already made a series of good impressions — they were hired, after all.

A recent survey conducted by staffing juggernaut Adecco had some great insights relating to the millennial generation. As a crusty old hiring veteran, I have interviewed hundreds of job candidates over the last 10 years and I have witnessed first-hand the behaviors documented in the survey. Reading the Adecco survey compelled me to write this article for the sake of job seekers, and for the sake of recruiters who want to do a better job of preparing their candidates for the interview.

'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.

'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!).

After all, from that first point of contact to the day they start their first work assignment, we have a lot of time, and sometimes emotion, invested in them. And when they finally set foot on our client’s property, it’s our reputation that’s on the line, our judgment that’s questioned if it all goes wrong.

'Letter penned by James P. Hoffa and union bosses: Obamacare will “shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.”. This story is getting a lot of play in the conservative blogs I follow but I haven’t seen much ‘mainstream’ coverage unless you count the Wall Street Journal where the union letter to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid appeared a few days ago.

'Where are the women? That’s what many were asking this month when Twitter created 1,600 instant millionaires with their Initial Public Offering. As The New York Times put it , “The board? All white men. The investors? All men. The executive officers? All men but for the general counsel, Vijaya Gadde, who has had the job for five weeks.” The company’s immediate response focused on a “paucity of candidates.” That may be about to change.

Normally when we create a survey for staffing professionals, with the intention of quantifying trends and opinions across the industry, we kind of know what to expect. But with this drug testing survey, we honestly had no idea.
