10 Recruiting Tips for First Time Managers

HR Bartender

One of the things that often happens when you become a supervisor or manager is that you’re invited to participate in the recruiting process. It could be because you’re now responsible for a team of employees. Or another manager will ask you to participate because you will work closely with one of their employees. Regardless of the reason, there are a few things that new managers need to understand about their role in hiring. Tell HR when an employee resigns. And tell them right away.

TeamWORK or Team-BUILDING?

HR Hardball

My Talent Acquisition team recently participated in a team-building event courtesy of our friends at Strayboots. I can tell you we looked forward to this event for weeks, as the thought of a scavenger hunt through the middle of the Dallas Arts District was (if nothing else) an opportunity for a brief distraction from “business as usual” – the key being that “business as usual” for us at DentalOne = “hair on fire.”

Dream Your HR Dreams, Teach Your HR Dreams

Laurie Ruettimann

I started my job as a writer and speaker in 2007. I began traveling around the country and telling people how much I hated HR and recruiting. It wasn’t a super sophisticated message, but I just wanted my fellow colleagues to know that they could do better. Like, don’t you want more for yourself? And, during the past ten years, there’s been a sea change in the way HR-related professionals talk about themselves and their dreams.

3 Questions to Help You Cross the Recruiting Finish Line

Hyrell

Cheesy coaching and athletic stories tell us to "envision our end result." Then we will know how to get from Point A to Point B. Although we all scoff at motivational speakers for saying these things, maybe they are onto something. While you are not training for a marathon as you are sifting through resumes (or maybe you are), you can still employ the “picture yourself crossing the finish line” philosophy.

The Work Platform Is the New “Job" for Displaced Workers

Cornerstone On Demand

Government leaders often frame labor policies or future of work solutions in terms of preserving, repatriating or creating the “good jobs" of the past. But this fixation on "jobs" actually limits the potential of their solutions. The new world of work is one "beyond employment." As my colleagues Ravin Jesuthasan, David Creelman and I explore in my recent book, Lead the Work , traditional long-term employment is increasingly giving way to medium- or short-term employment.

HR Blogging Used to Be Good

Laurie Ruettimann

HR blogging used to be good. No, seriously, like ’86 Lakers good. There was Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a few other guys who’s names I don’t remember. And, just like the ’86 Lakers, the old-school HR bloggers played like a team that wanted to win. But then, just like every Hollywood sports story, people got greedy. Some HR bloggers wanted fame, some wanted money, and some just wanted to start an IT staffing firm down in Alabama.

Being a Leader and Tacit Approval in Today’s Workplace

HR Bartender

I’ve mentioned before that I used to work for a boss who had me issue the same memo every year about tacit approval. The memo was designed to remind everyone of their responsibilities as a manager and leader as well as the basic principles of business. I was reminded of tacit approval recently and dug out the memo. Believe it or not, some ten plus years later…I still have it. Not only does it apply to our roles at work, but in other places like our volunteer and civic roles.
