Every once in a while, I run across an article that talks about why organizations shouldn’t calculate cost per hire. Personally, I’m a big fan of the cost per hire metric. I think it provides valuable information. Back in 2012, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) worked with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to create a uniform standard calculation for cost per hire (CPH).

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Leadership is important, but there is also a case to be made for teaching in the workplace—and I'm not talking about training.

I’ve written about employee engagement quite a bit over the years. At this point, I think we all know it’s important and companies need to focus on it.

It tends to just be recruiters and active candidates that agonize over the intricate details of their LinkedIn profile and resume. The quality coders, marketers and sales reps that you’re looking for usually don’t have the time (or inclination) to constantly update their social profiles with all the skills they’re learning. Even people that are actively looking, and are regularly updating their resume may well forget to list relevant skills.
