You may think you're bad at judging which candidates will become star employees and which will crash and burn. But it turns out almost everyone is. According to a study out of the University of Toledo in 2000, interviewers tend to form an opinion about a candidate within ten seconds of the person walking in a room. The problem? These snap judgements are usually wrong.

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.

A lot goes into interviewing, candidate sourcing, applicant screening, selecting candidates for interviews, coordinating schedules for the interview, preparing interview questions, conducting the interview, following up after the interview… it’s exhausting to say the least. Therefore, making the process more efficient and timely is something every recruiter or hiring professional strives for, but if left without the right system or resources, this goal may never be achieved.

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. After three months, they decided not to renew the consultant's contract, and I've been heading HR as a department of one ever since.

Culture – the tapestry of who and what your company is and stands for. Woven from many different behaviors – large and small. Culture isn’t what is written on posters outside the offices of your senior leadership team. Culture is what happens in the conference rooms and on the phones of your employees. Culture is the space between words and actions.

Hourly jobs are the primary entry into the job market for many first-time job seekers. That means a slew of newbies flood job boards, respond to ‘help wanted’ ads, and submit resumes, hoping to score interviews with restaurant, retail, and hospitality managers. The problem is that most applicants new to the job hunt are woefully unprepared for what to expect, and how to conduct themselves, during the interview process.

It can be said that those who work in PR or Marketing for an organisation are those who speak for it. They use creative ways to create buzz, hype it up and attract stakeholders that are the cream of the crop. It could start with successful campaigns, great commercials or even killer social media strategies. Being either of the methods, they basically build the company brand.

The benefits of mentoring are clear. Mentees get the opportunity to bounce ideas off of and learn from professionals who are more experienced then they are. Mentors get to improve their leadership skills by practicing developing others and get to revisit lessons they’ve already learned, and may have forgotten. Both parties also gain exposure to a completely different perspective.

Some say that when an employee feels satisfaction with their job, it means they feel engaged at work. What’s wrong with this belief is that for starters, employers take this feeling of being satisfied to stem from what’s being given in return aka. a salary. Secondly, it’s not always true because you can totally be satisfied with your job but it might not be enough of an incentive to get you showing up to work every day.

If you are like the majority of people in the United States, you own a pet. And most likely that pet is a cat or a dog. Your life probably looks something like this: You get up in the morning, go through your routine, and leave for work. Your pet stays at home and waits for your return. That is the life of most pets and their owners. But what if you were to bring your pet to work?
