We always hear that first impressions matter. Immediately our minds gravitate toward meeting people in business and social settings, interviews or even sales calls. Why don’t we think of the first impression we make when we add a new employee to our company? The goal at any company should be that the new prospect will be so impressed and wowed by his/her first day that he/she goes home and tells someone that it was the “best first day on the job EVER.

So you want to open a staffing business, but you’re having an internal debate about whether to run a franchise branch or create your own start-up. There’s loads of information online about the pluses, minuses, advantages, and disadvantages of each (see our handy chart), but much of the time that information is coming from franchisor marketing materials and reviews from jilted former employees – one-sided hyperbole that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Regardless of your experience level, I can guarantee that recruitment will be an issue that will need to be dealt with.

Lots of news outlets contact experts around this time of year to ask them for their predictions for the year ahead. But not like we do. No, we asked a handful of experts to do something special. Each expert has provided us with three headlines for 2013. One is a “safe bet” prediction (which is normally all you’d get from other news media), one is a “bold” prediction (you might see some of those elsewhere if the expert is particularly ballsy), and one is a “ridiculous or wishful” prediction (tota

When you think about the type of person you want to hire for your next opening or job req, what – and who – comes to mind? Likely you want someone who doesn’t simply need a job, any job, but rather someone who has options and choices and chooses to work for you, so it’s a deliberate thing, not a default. That’s exactly the theory behind the “Opt-out” method of hiring.

“ Where is the science? ” That’s what NASA is asking the doomsday predictors who say in accordance with the Mayan calendar, the world will end on Dec. 21.

The Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare,” to some of you) and the Presidential Election were the biggest story/stories of the year, as far as Staffing Talk is concerned. You can listen to other sources spouting off about the massive effects that Hurricane Sandy, Facebook, the Olympics, and Gangnam Style have had on staffing in 2012, but to us those claims are about as valuable as the Travolta-Newton John Christmas album.

Dear Santa, I am a 53-year-old fire captain in Minneapolis. I used to be a deputy chief, but I was demoted a few years ago for being ‘detrimental to the team,’ or some b.s. reason, after criticizing my boss. I mean c’mon, he asked what I thought of him! And I told him. Big deal. So fire me. Well, actually, he couldn’t do that, you know, because of my union protection, but I have been making less these past few years than I would have as deputy chief.

I was reluctant to title this post “HTML5 Strikes Back” – after all HTML5 is an open standard, a rebel cause if there ever was one, and nothing like the bad guys in the Empire Strikes Back. Nevertheless, this is definitely a story about striking back, in particular Sencha’s HTML5 devs striking back at Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg who had thoroughly convinced the world that his company’s post-IPO troubles were caused by nothing less nefarious than supposed HTML5 deficiencies.

'So we''ve reached Day 6 of the Recruiting Innovation Revisited series (see Day 1 for a full explanation). There is always much talk and speculation round Facebook as a recruitment platform. It is difficult to ignore a platform with a billion active members but at the same time there is huge disagreement about what kind of approach to take. It is also fair to say that many advocates of Facebook recruiting are talking theoretically rather than from any degree of practical experience!
