Recruiting Is Only Getting Tougher [infographic] – Friday Distraction

HR Bartender

I believe one of the key metrics in recruiting is time to fill. It’s also a very flexible metric. Traditionally, we think of time to fill as the time it takes from the job requisition being approved to the job offer being accepted.

Pomello

Every executive team understands that company culture is a vital, if often overlooked part of their strategy. Culture is neglected because it is always essential but often not urgent. Why?

For any employee in any industry, their workplace is revisited over five days a week for more than 8 hours a day, making it as close to a second home.

Company Culture 102: How to target your aspirational culture

Pomello

“Change before you have to.”. -Jack Welch. Culture change or evolution is one of the most challenging projects for a leadership team to undertake.
