I used to think that recruiters were just the same as human resources professionals. I was wrong. I was in fact very wrong. Our jobs, although similar in terms of who we report to in the corporate organizational structure, are distinctly unique. Great not just good recruiters require a different set of skills, abilities, and competencies altogether to engage, qualify and recruit talent to our organization(s).

I got invited to LinkedIn! Yeah, me, the guy who was blacklisted from LinkedIn because I tend to write stuff that isn’t so flattering about the organization. Before I tell you what I learned while at LinkedIn, I have to tell you that I had to sign an NDA the moment I walked into the building! So, what I’m about to say is what I can say without getting myself in trouble.

165,000 reasons meaning 165,000 dollars. But, you probably figured that out. What the heck is associational discrimination? Well, funny you should ask because, last Summer, I had a post about it. In the context of the Americans with Disabilities Act , associational discrimination occurs when a company excludes or otherwise denies equal jobs or benefits to someone because he or she has a relationship with or associates with someone else who has a disability.

If you haven’t seen it, there’s an interesting article over on the Harvard Business Review blog titled, “ Don’t Let Your Company Culture Just Happen. ” My big takeaway from the article was that in order for employees to be engaged, they have to fit with the culture. Meaning that cultural fit needs to be an important part of the recruiting process. There are lots of companies that do this – hire for attitude and fit, train for skills.

I’ve mentioned in earlier posts that I was involved in a pretty serious auto accident a long time ago. My recovery took years. Fortunately, I worked for an employer that was open to modified duty. It sounds like this employer is as well. Any thoughts about using off-site, non-profits or charities to accommodate modified duty for an injured worker? We’re located in California and just can’t find any in-house options for truck driver’s with injured legs.

I accept LinkedIn invitations from anyone. Some people agree with this strategy, others disagree. My logic is that I'm happy to connect with as many people as possible. And if I can help any of them out, even better. As a result, I have many LinkedIn connections whom I have never met, let alone worked with.

How well are you communicating your most important company information to employees? The answer has as much to do with the medium as with the message. And most of the time, that message isn’t being received. The problem of disconnected communication channels at work isn’t a new one. Companies have been trying to figure it out for years by communicating with employees through snail mail, paper memos, faxes, emails, intranets, digital signage, and more.

What motivates employees at work? There a two types of factors which drive employees to perform at their best. Employees are either intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated.
