By Eric B. Meyer. I read different surveys about social media and hiring and the numbers vary greatly. For every survey that indicates that employers are not using social media to vet candidates, you get the one I read last night from CareerBuilder.com , which reports that “52 percent of employers use social networking sites to research job candidates, up significantly from 43 percent last year and 39 percent in 2013.”.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 2.8 million people quit their jobs in March 2015 , putting it back to pre-recession levels. This is expected to accelerate as employees grow more confident in the economy amid a rising number of job openings. That’s why employee retention should really worry companies, from a talent drain perspective and from a competitive standpoint.

The business world today is experiencing a leadership gap. We talk about the skills gap and the challenges facing recruiting. What about leadership?

Data scientists are becoming important in HR technology. I had thought the big thing about SimplyHired was that they were good at scouring the web for job openings and putting them in one place. However, to a large extent it competes on the quality of the search engine they offer job seekers. The quality of that search depends on their data scientists figuring out the intent of someone’s search.

This figure comes from a recent survey by Workplace Trends , and the ramifications of blurring the boundaries between personal time and work time are concerning. Too often, both employers and employees assume that true dedication means they’re never off the clock – in reality, this inability to leave work behind yields only inefficiency and emotional burnout.

Do employees really want to be engaged? If you define “employee engagement” as author Kevin Kruse does (“The emotional commitment the employee has to the organization and its goals”), it’s likely that yes, all employees want to feel some level of connectedness to the work they do.
