In 1955, English historian Cyril Northcote Parkinson wrote, in an essay published in The Economist, the following adage: “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion” He derived this dictum from him time spent in the British Civil Service, and consequently summed up the inner workings of every bureaucratic organisation ever since.

As recruiters, we are more than familiar with first days. Our BD call masquerading as a start check lets us share in a candidates Bambi like first steps.

This week, Google agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit to the tune of $11m for alleged age discrimination. For the circa 200 job seekers involved in the action, that’s a staggering $50k+ each, all without ever having to work a day at the tech-giant. MORE

Speaker: Matt Craven, Talent Acquisition Project Manager, Schneider Electric
Hiring the right people and creating a strong and productive workforce is critical to the success of any organization.

What steps do they take to improve the “quality of hire”? Most importantly, how do you measure change in quality of hire?
