Being a Better Recruiter Isn’t About Being More Efficient, It’s About Being Different

Linkedin Talent Blog

I’m now working with a bunch of staffing professionals and corporate recruiters who (along with their employers) want to be more competitive. I suggested the best way to change is by becoming different, not by trying to be more efficient. Why is being different more important? Because it can result in improvements of 50-100% or more in 6-12 months. It’s almost impossible to be 10-20% more efficient in the same timeframe.

ACA Late Filing: A Penalties Chart

ACA Times

Employers were given a gift of sorts from the IRS and the ACA when extensions for paper filings were extended to 5/31/16 and electronic filings were extended to 6/30/16. Perhaps that still wasn’t enough time for your company to get the job done. While the risk of penalties is still inevitable for noncompliant companies, it’s best to understand how severe they can be should you soar way past the filing deadlines.

HR 3.0 Puts the “Human” Back in “Human Resources”
