Why are candidate referrals important? Picture this situation. You have a deadline. Your project is due to be completed soon. You are still unsure of your candidate pool. Who can you call on to help you fill the position? Why not your previous hires? The beauty of recruiting is that people are social. Even the most introverted people will have to collaborate with industry peers on projects occasionally.

New survey data finds few organizations are investing in their employees’ training and development these days, and I’m beginning to think the “gig economy” may have something to do with it.

But how do you go about recruiting in an age where candidates are seemingly everywhere (and nowhere at the same time), overloading your recruiting process with useless information?

What about when you're making a big decision about a reorganization, or implementing perks that you just know employees will love? Many HR professionals make all kinds of decisions without looking at the numbers—sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

People like multitasking, but not everyone can do it. As it turns out, only 2% of people can properly do more than one thing at a time. Thankfully, that’s not a problem for software; if you want software to do multiple things at once, it’s more than prepared for the task. Candidate sourcing and applicant tracking, for example, can be done simultaneously without compromising on the quality of either.

Any good business needs customer feedback. HR is a business, and the leaders and employees are our customers—but as I've highlighted in previous posts , we usually don't think of them as such. As a result, HR rarely gets the feedback we need to thrive. Leaders and employees are users of our products and services, and they're the ones who can tell us whether products are easy to use and whether services are adding value.

Lest you categorize the idea of gratitude as “fluff,” or not worthy of attention in business, consider this statement from Robert Emmons: “Gratitude is the high-octane fuel without which we’d be in relational ruin.
