The 10 Must-Read Articles for Recruiters This Week

If you’ve questioned the productivity of meetings and are struggling to find a groove now that they’ve moved online, you’re not alone. “[R]esearch suggests that only around 50% of meeting time is effective, well used, and engaging,”  reports MIT Sloan Management Review, “and these effectiveness numbers drop even lower when it comes to remote meetings.” The good news, however, is that there are some simple steps to take to make meetings more productive, and you can read all about them in our list of must-read articles below.

Also on the list, you can find an ode to the office at a time when many are predicting their demise: “I am well aware of the charges levelled at the office,” writes Lucy Kellaway at The Financial Times, “but am swayed by none of them.” You can also learn why Facebook is aiming to move to a more remote workforce over the next decade, what questions to ask candidates who will be working from home, and why some employees have been sleeping at the office for weeks on end.
