Cornerstone On Demand

Dear ReWorker, I landed my first job in HR a year out of college at a company that grew quickly. During this exponential growth, the team never had time to develop an HR department. They hired me along with a part-time consultant to create an HR department from scratch. At the time, the company had just under 65 employees.

Why Your Organization Should Consider an Internal Hackathon

HR Bartender

Last year, I interviewed Steve Boese, co-chair of the HR Technology Conference , on the topic of hackathons. A hackathon is an event during which participants collaborate, conceptualize and test new products or services. The event is usually followed with a presentation to a panel of decision makers.
