How To Stop Being Fooled By Fancy Resumes

Spark Hire

Job seekers are getting creative with their resumes. They know that many hiring managers only glance at a resume before deciding if the applicant is right for the job or not. In fact, a 2014 SHRM survey found that most hiring managers spend less than five minutes reviewing each resume. So in order to get noticed it’s becoming common for talent to include eye catching elements like charts or graphs in their resumes.

The Most Popular Lies Recruiters Hear Every Day (and Why You Should Avoid Them)

Evil HR Lady

If you think you’ve heard it all, you’re either a therapist or a recruiter. (Of course, sometimes people treat their recruiters and HR people in general like therapists, but that’s another post.) The thing is, when much of your job is spent evaluating people and talking with them, you learn to spot lies pretty darn quick. Some of these lies are little things, and don’t matter. “How are you today?

Do You Know Why You Were Hired?

HR Bartender

It seems like such a simple question. Do you know why the organization hired you? One of my former bosses took me out to lunch one day to tell me why she hired me. She said, “Because you didn’t come from the industry.” She wanted an outsider who would ask questions and challenge the status quo. She felt that was what the company needed. If organizations want employees to be engaged and successful in their roles, they have to tell them why they were hired.

Changing Up the Way You Lead: You're Not Always Right

ClearCompany HRM

There is no one perfect way to lead. There are leaders that excel because of their impeccable communication skills, their charisma or even the respect their presence demands. But when your leadership techniques aren’t working time and time again, what are you supposed to do? Switch it up. Try new approaches. Fact: No one’s right 100% of the time and if you really truly think you are then working in leadership is likely not the place for you.

HR Analytics – The “GPS” of True HR Transformation

Visier

Since the mid-1990s, the phrase, “HR transformation,” has been a part of HR’s common vernacular. In fact, it is so often-used some regard it as almost a form of HR “smart talk” – something that many talk about, but few really understand how to do. The same could be said – most recently – for the terms, “workforce analytics,” “talent analytics,” and other variants of this.

Engaging Employees with Technology Choices

Last week I had the chance to speak with a local HR leader. She was lamenting her company’s hideously awful HR module that was an add-on to the company accounting software.
