There’s a common thought and saying that some things can’t be done alone. We all need help and most of the time we’re too shy to ask for it. Either that or we’re too arrogant and reluctant to ask. The thing is, when we do ask for help and we receive the right type of help, we usually thrive better than we expected if we were to complete the task alone.

I watched a very intriguing TED Talk this month entitled: The surprising workforce crisis of 2030 – and how to start solving it now. It was delivered by Rainer Strack , a global leader at the Boston Consulting Group on the topic of HR. A brief overview: Year 2030 is when the highest employee population will be retiring (using Germany as an example) – the 2030 working population “is already set in stone today” resulting in a significantly declining labor supply.

The early stages of a relocation program are a lot like the first steps in a relocation. The first piece of information our Relocation Consultants ask for is where a person lives now, and where their destination city is. In the same way, you have to know where you’re starting from in order to get where you’re going.

Those in charge of hiring can typically rattle off a solid list of traits that attract a job seeker to an open position within their business. Factors like salary and health benefits will always matter when it comes to recruiting efforts, regardless of the age of the person you’re talking with or the type of position that’s available.

We all know entrepreneurs: those individuals who have identified a solution to a problem and have set off to start their own venture. While entrepreneurship may sound exciting, the reality is that nine out of 10 startups fail. Some of us may be able to stomach that risk, but many people are not in a position to leave their jobs and hope that their dream idea will be one of the lucky 10 percent that fall within the “startup success” category.

It should come as no surprise that as individuals obtain healthcare under the Affordable Care Act, the greatest concern is cost. From individual plans to employer-sponsored plans, individuals want the most bang for their buck when it comes to minimum essential coverage.

One question every recruiter faces is: “How long will it take to fill this position?” Seasoned recruiters have had long practice in figuring out how to deflect this question by speaking of the tough hiring market, sharing insight on the current candidate pool, or turning the question back to validate just how important timeliness really is for a specific hire.

It’s happened to us all: That person—that star—the one who absolutely nailed their interview ends up being a dud.

In fact, one recent survey revealed the number one reason for failed hires (performance issues aside) is a poor skills match, with unclear performance objectives sliding into second place.

A lot has been written about biomimicry and the inspiration that product designers get from studying nature — the skeletal structure of a flying squirrel informing the design of drones or the layered butterfly wing to help create optical coatings for displays.
