Creating your first relocation policy can feel like being dropped in the middle of a desert with a bag of random tools and no map.

It’s typically a good sign when your company is facing a hiring boom. For an HR department, this means a lot of extra legwork, coffee, and ibuprofen. Scaling operations is a challenge for any part of a business, and can make or break a company’s future success. In HR, that means being able to consistently recruit and hire top talent at a high volume, and in some cases, relocate them at an equally high rate. And when you put the pedal to the metal, that’s when mistakes happen. MORE
Seasoned recruiters know that the single most important factor in the effectiveness of their recruiting campaign is the job description. Writing an effective job description is your best strategy to attract top talent and gain a better understanding of the job scope yourself—whether you're a startup owner, employer, or a budding recruiter.

Internship season.ah, one of the great perils of HR and Recruiting Departments both domestically and internationally. Truthfully, our internship process is probably something that keeps many of us up at night.

As the millennial takeover of the workplace population continues at a rapid pace, your corporate policies need to be updated to reflect the changing expectations of this new generation of employees. For many offices, the first round of millennials caused a fair bit of shock and culture clashing between the various generations in the office. Those initial sparks should be dying down, as employees have had time to settle in and you have had plenty of time to update policies to address the changes. MORE
Whether you’re a new and growing business or a lean, mean team that requires less manpower, it’s easy to pass off a relocation program as an expensive, time-consuming luxury, like golf. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, you could be hurting your own chances of success, especially when it comes to finding and recruiting new talent, if you aren’t accommodating a recruiting search that goes beyond your local zip codes.

For years, relocation has been too expensive, time-consuming, and complicated for small businesses to employ. Manually managing a relocation program used to require the time and money that lean, mean small businesses can’t afford to spend.

117 For your company to thrive, you need the right talent in the right locations. While some of this can be resolved with skillful recruitment and hiring, it may be necessary to relocate both new and current employees to boost performance and productivity.

Preparing to relocate is a lot more than a list of tasks. It’s a complex web where each decision can affect a handful of other decisions, and feels more like trying to spin plates while surfing. It’s easy for an issue to get put on the backburner or worse, forgotten.
