No one ever wants to admit this but it can be really intimidating working with someone who is way smarter and more talented than you. This is the basis for the biggest lie HR tells candidates. You are overqualified! We’ve told this lie for decades. Truth be told, no one is ever “overqualified” for a position. You might have more qualifications than the organization needs for the position you are interviewing for, but that really isn’t the issue.

When companies look for new workers, they want people who are dedicated, committed, trustworthy and loyal. Job skills can always be learnt, but the basic qualities of a good worker remain the same, especially for long-term employees.

I believe that one of the most mysterious technology terms out there is SEO (aka Search Engine Optimization). Lots of people claim to be SEO experts. Many folks will tell you to do this or that because it “improves SEO.” But honestly, what does that mean? A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to hear Susan Vitale , chief marketing officer at iCIMS, talk about SEO in the context of human resources.

Social media is key in today’s recruiting business. Not only has it allowed us to network with existing or potential clients, but it has also opened the door to how we find our candidates. There are 3 ways that social media has made business easier for us when it comes to identifying the right candidates. 1. Ease of advertisement. One of my favorite things about social media is the ease of advertisement that it offers to businesses, particularly staffing businesses.

Lifelong learning is now an institution, as evidenced by the massive success of digital "universities" like Coursera, Khan Academy, and more. And while consumers are taking education into their own hands —signing up for classes ranging from Economics 101 to mapmaking—companies are equally eager to incorporate self-motivated learning into employee learning and development.

First of two parts. Hiring managers and recruiters have a long history of rejecting “job jumpers.” And even today, 43 percent of employers won’t consider job jumpers, according to CareerBuilder. If you are not familiar with the term, a “job jumper” or “job hopper” is a recruiting prospect who has had short tenures with several employers.

Making drastic changes to talent programs without thinking through the outcomes is like introducing rabbits to the Australian ecosystem: both can bring a myriad of unintended consequences. Consider Jack Welch’s famous Stack Ranking policies , which focused on ranking employees and then firing the lowest 10% of performers. Proponents have credited this approach with a 28-fold increase in earnings (and a 5-fold increase in revenue) at GE between 1981 and 2001.

Organizations with well-defined social responsibility programs can improve their brand reputation, attract more job candidates and customers, and increase employee engagement. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs arose from the understanding that businesses function as a part of society—the success of each deeply affects the other.
