Is it any wonder that companies are becoming more diligent and taking additional steps in the hiring process to ensure they are hiring the right people?

'Ah, that most dreaded of employment rites of passage, the in-house drug screen, that wonderful time when employers and future employees who barely know each other are forced through the distasteful process of getting to know each other more than they ever wanted to … EVER … (Can anyone say TMI??). Most staffing agencies conduct their own drug screens because they are quick, relatively easy, and cost effective.

The importance of branding is often overlooked when talking about efficiency and technology in the hiring process. There’s definitely a parallel here with my last blog about comparing apples to apples in the hiring process , where I covered the importance of data in both day-to-day business and in recruiting. The same concept applies to branding. Organizations (both large and small) are very conscious of branding themselves to customers and partners.

We know that if we don’t get that ‘What are they doing here?’ reaction to a new hire from staff from time to time, then we’re not just trying hard enough.

'…actually I feel like I already do. My suburban Minneapolis home looks not unlike and is roughly the same size as this one (pictured) in Palo Alto. Tiny difference: mine is assessed at $550k with twice the property size, and the Palo Alto one is selling for more than $17 million.

'How much fun do you have at work? During a time when there is still so much economic volatility and uncertainty, and most of us know a few, or quite a few, people out of work at the moment, having fun on the job has probably fallen down the list of priorities. But several experts say it shouldn’t be that way. Dr. David Abramis is an organizational studies professor at Cal State Long Beach, and has studied the concept of fun at work for years.
