I hate to admit it, but I was fired from my first two jobs out of college. I felt like a failure and was dejected, not knowing why I could not succeed despite really trying. I was an accountant then and earned a CPA certification. I had good grades from a very good school and understood accounting theory at an advanced level. In addition, I was a good interviewer and was able to convince people that I was the person they wanted to hire.

Not everyone can be a manager. It’s why only 1 in 10 people possess high talent to manage , and why companies don’t choose the right person for management jobs 82% of the time. Very few have the ability to lead teams, engage them, and handle the stressful workloads of working between employees and corporate. But if you’re not the lucky 1 in 10 who can manage talent effectively, what do you do?

Today, it's widely cited that one in 68 children is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. But less discussed in the media is what happens when these children grow up. A report published in April found that young adults with autism had significantly lower employment rates than people with other disabilities. Compared to a 58 percent employment rate of twentysomethings with autism, 74 percent of young people with intellectual disabilities, 95 percent with learning disabilities and 91 percen

There has always been deluge of advice asking employers to treat their candidates like customers. In order to make a great candidate want to work at your company, you need to cater to their needs, make sure they feel special and offer them things like benefits, perks, and higher pay that your competitors don’t. It’s sound advice, for the most part, but as it turns out, following the “ treat candidates like customers ” point of view doesn’t always work.

It’s probable you have a list of (or at least know) the reasons why your customers buy from you. It’s also probable you don’t have the same sort of list of why anyone should want to work for you. Problem is, if you don’t know why anyone should want to work for you, how could potential applicants possibly know? (more…).

While the media is brimming with advice about how to attract the youngest and brightest talent , companies are grappling with another, arguably more elusive recruiting challenge: finding experienced women to help bridge the long-standing corporate gender gap.

There’s an emerging theme I’m hearing about comparing companies to communities. I heard it at the Great Place to Work conference and again at the Association for Talent Development (ATD) International Conference and Expo. If companies are communities, then it’s the obligation of businesses to take care of their community and to support their “members” (i.e., employees).

First of two parts. If you are experiencing great difficulty in convincing a reluctant superstar or magnet hire candidate to say yes to a job offer, there are few more powerful convincing tools than a “buddy hire” program. If you haven’t heard of it, the buddy hire approach is where you offer to hire your target star candidate and a close colleague or friend of theirs as a package deal.

Second of two parts. As I told you here yesterday (see Few Recruiting Tools Work Better Than a “‘Buddy Hire” Program ), the buddy hire approach is where you offer to hire your target star candidate and a close colleague or friend of theirs as a package deal. This is an amazingly effective recruiting strategy simply because most of us do have a close colleague or friend who we’ve always wanted to work with.

Internal coaching is growing in practice! I’ve heard this topic at two conferences now. Organizations are creating internal coaching practices as part of employee career development programs. Most companies recognize that connection is important, but in many ways we are less connected in the ways that matter. This impacts engagement. One speaker used the example of the Gallup Q12 being all about connection.

Some things are simple. Some things are complicated. And some things that seem simple are actually pretty complicated. For example, it seems like a simple observation that happy employees are better employees. And, in fact, data abound to prove that point. But how to get happy employees is a little more complicated. Early in my career as a business leader I always believed that people were my critical competitive edge and that creating a strong, caring culture was my job.

Job interviews are commonplace today, but there once was a time when the interview process didn’t even exist. Instead of having to prove their worth in a job interview, people were essentially born into their jobs, and nearly everyone lived and worked in their hometowns. It took forward-thinking technology like the railroad, telephone, and Internet to revolutionize the process of finding and landing a job.
