I used to think that recruiters were just the same as human resources professionals. I was wrong. I was in fact very wrong. Our jobs, although similar in terms of who we report to in the corporate organizational structure, are distinctly unique. Great not just good recruiters require a different set of skills, abilities, and competencies altogether to engage, qualify and recruit talent to our organization(s).

I got invited to LinkedIn! Yeah, me, the guy who was blacklisted from LinkedIn because I tend to write stuff that isn’t so flattering about the organization. Before I tell you what I learned while at LinkedIn, I have to tell you that I had to sign an NDA the moment I walked into the building! So, what I’m about to say is what I can say without getting myself in trouble.

I accept LinkedIn invitations from anyone. Some people agree with this strategy, others disagree. My logic is that I'm happy to connect with as many people as possible. And if I can help any of them out, even better. As a result, I have many LinkedIn connections whom I have never met, let alone worked with.

The first meeting was magical. Sparks flew. The chemistry seemed just right. It feels like a perfect fit, and you can’t wait to see them again. So, now what? Do you make the next move? Do you call? If so, how long do you wait before picking up the phone? Do you come off as desperate if you get in touch too soon? Or seem disinterested if you wait too long?

Over the past year, we’ve watched Uber go through a rollercoaster ride. It all started when drivers who at random points throughout the year exceeded a 30 hour work week, making them eligible for health care during that time period under the Affordable Care Act. Since then, Uber has been met with multiple lawsuits, most recently in May of this year when both Florida and Illinois moved to change how Uber drivers were classified.

So often, a goal is synonymous with an unattainable state, desire or outcome. Think about it. How many times have you heard “It’s always been a goal of mine to [insert unrealistic dream here]”? Being born independently wealthy or having 30 hours in a day is not a goal. As professionals, we find ourselves calling things goals when we neither have an actual way to achieve it nor understand how it will actually move us forward.

“Quality of Hire” is one of those terms – like “engagement” – that we all use and all mean different things when we use it. And there is no standard definition. Directionally, we’re probably all in the same ballpark. But there is no precise, function-wide, commonly agreed-upon, global definition. That’s why I read with interest Joe Murphy ’s Quality of Hire: Data Makes the Difference.

When you think of an effective leader, several characteristics likely come to mind: confident, capable, adaptable.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

Authentic storytelling in the workplace (and outside of it in social media channels) is an amazing way to impact talent strategies. It’s part science: apparently, we respond to storytelling with a change in brain chemistry. It’s part social: a great way to build trust and confidence, and to increase your audience. It seems like a soft skill — it’s called storytelling after all.

Most re-organization efforts either focus on hard stuff (processes, strategy, structure, KPI’s) or on soft stuff (culture, values, relationships, feelings). I have seen very few reorganization efforts in my career that are focused on the most important aspect of how value is delivered to customers: Simplicity. Simplicity stems from decentralization of power. “ New Power ” as they call it, is all about empowering people, creating conducive ecosystems for performance, learning collectively and enc

Since 1998, when the EEOC issued a compliance manual on retaliation, the percentage of EEOC private sector and state and local government charges alleging retaliation has practically doubled.
