'In theory, building a talent “pipeline” sounds like an ideal strategy, ensuring that you always have a steady supply of the talent you’re looking for. In reality, there are many issues with building talent pipelines, and they all “leak” extensively. I recently delivered the closing keynote at the always excellent Talent42 technical recruiting conference where I explored the core issues associated with building talent pipelines, proposed that talent acquisition is

'Somewhere along the line, recruiting technology became ‘self-aware’, allowing organizations to mindlessly post all of their jobs to job boards globally, big and small. It was in the late 90’s and it was pegged as the solution to our sourcing challenges. For the first time ever, candidates could ‘easily’ and quickly apply online for just about any job.

Most Americans wake up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack lunches, drop off the kids, drive to work, work, eat lunch, work some more, drive home and pick up the kids every day. The rat-race, Groundhog Day, déjà vu…. whatever you call it — it can be a drag. And if the employee is dragging, his/her work most likely is too. In this modern day and age, telecommuting is becoming a major benefit to employees and employers.

'Stalking the Elusive Retained Recruiter. Senior executives are often advised to cultivate a relationship with a leading retained executive recruiter as a way to get ahead.

You’ve polished your resume to a high shine and have built out your social media profiles on LinkedIn, Google+ and Facebook.

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.

'What would your boss say if you had a 75% failure rate? Would they be happy? Turn it around the other way (in other words, spin it) – you are successful 25% of the time – would that make it anymore palatable? Well that is what LinkedIn sales people are doing – saying that having a 25% success rate with InMails is good and aspirational.

'Recruiting has been off-shored. At least, that’s the case if you judge by amount of phone activity as opposed to actual results. From the New Yorker (a comment): I do gigs in IT - as a software programmer. There seems to be a shortage of “experienced coders” across US – and pretty much across the world.
