In recruiting, it is not only important to provide value to your clients, but to also provide value to candidates. You will have a difficult time attracting top talent to work with you if what you offer isn’t much. There are three ways that you can stand out among many other recruiters and provide value to your candidates: 1. Access to the hidden job market.

“Apollo was astonished. Dionysus thought me mad. But they heard my story further. And they wondered, and were sad. Looking down from Olympus. On a world of doubt and fear. Its surface splintered. Into sorry Hemispheres…”. — Rush , Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres. It’s like getting hit on via an online dating site, professionally speaking, of course.

Conducting background checks on a perspective employee is a crucial part of any hiring process. Employment screening can take anywhere from one to five days in most cases. This often depends on the type of background check an employer is running and myriad other circumstances. While many employers want the quickest possible turnaround, it is more important to be both thorough and accurate.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt dropped some knowledge about the tipping point to any creative endeavor, from launching a dream startup to penning that first word of the novel that has been illuminating your mind for years. To succeed as an entrepreneur, you need to start with what you have and who you are.

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.

Like the title of this post says, I believe the role of a manager is to identify and hire their replacement. Think about it. If a manager takes their role seriously, then they are constantly searching for talent. They are encouraging employees to learn. They are sharing knowledge by coaching and mentoring. And they are supporting employee growth and development.

It's no secret that technology has revolutionized our ability to communicate across space, time, culture and language, but it has also been instrumental in disconnecting us from people just a desk away. At the office, we check email during meetings, we eat alone at our desks and we forgo the water cooler for digital chatrooms. In fact, Cornerstone's recent State of Workplace Productivity Report found that 39 percent of employees think communicating by email or instant messenger is more p

No one likes an overbearing manager. They’re too imposing at work, too obsessed with perfection and making sure nothing goes wrong, and you can tell they’re only in the job for themselves. Somehow, it’s possible for them to be watching your every move and tweaking your work while never being around when you need them. Overbearing managers are the worst kind , but even worse than that is that managers themselves often don’t know how imposing they’re being.

The law of attraction in simple terms is best defined as: what you give is what you get and so on and so forth. From an employer perspective, the same rule s can be applied. How much you’re willing to give up coincides with what type of candidates you attract and keep. It’s for this reason that a lot of companies have decided to jump on the unlimited paid time off plan in an effort to attract self-managing and self-motivated employees.
