Recent Recruitment Insights
Millennials Challenge Traditional Leadership
Millennial workers are more motivated by and respond better to leaders who engage, challenge and inspire them.
Too often employers who believe they have successfully recruited millennials find, shortly down the road, that they have “lost” their employees who have either quit or simply disengaged. Research shows that millennials, age 24-34, are retained on average […]
Affordable Higher Education
As students head off to college and universities this month, a global rethink is needed to make higher education more affordable, accessible and useful. Many young people have entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional drive, but unless large corporations and government provide them support many will not be able to succeed.
One way to do this is by […]
The Human Touch
Why Traditional Recruiting Methods Still Matter
There was a time when companies devoted energy and resources utilizing traditional methods to recruit their workforce. Classified ads, one to one networking and employee referrals were the prime methods used to deliver the best candidates. Resources were expended to advertise for positions, interview applicants, cull a list of finalists, […]
It’s Human Inventory That’s the Most Valuable
When asked, all great business leaders will tell you it’s the capital that rides the elevators to and from the office every day that means the most.
“I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person,” says Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.
Companies of all sizes know that it’s […]
Google New Venture Capital Business
Ask people what type of company Google is, you're likely to hear the word "search" repeated fairly often. Yet that definition became obsolete years ago, when Google began devoting enormous resources to mobile and other emerging technologies.
Mentoring Coaching Millennials
Millennials have moved into the workplace in force; according to Pew Research, they've already surpassed Gen Xers as the single largest demographic cohort in the modern day labor force. Given their outsize numbers and increasing importance, organizations that can effectively reach Millennials and offer them the kind of career development they're seeking are best positioned to compete for young talent.
Amazon Whole Foods Merger
The recent announcement of Amazon's $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods was met with shock in many quarters. The implications of this blockbuster deal are far reaching: While supermarkets must contend with an innovative, wealthy and aggressive new competitor, consumer goods producers will also need to re-evaluate their Amazon strategies -- and customers in the years ahead may find the grocery shopping experience they have grown accustomed to has been re-imagined.
How HR Personalization Affects Businesses
Today, we live in a world where things are tailored to our specifications. Smart companies use data analysis to know not only what we're looking for, but when and how we want it. When we're online, we're presented with custom ads designed to meet our specific needs and desires at that moment. Amazon seems to know what we want to buy before we do; Netflix, meanwhile, offers us a personalized selection of films based on our viewing habits.
Sustainable Energy and Job Recruitment
Deciding to incorporate sustainable energy into a business is an admirable goal. It's also a strategy that's becoming more prevalent. Google, for example, is on the record saying it aims to power 100-percent of its operations with renewable energy sources. While the technology giant is still quite far from that goal, the overall pace of sustainable energy adoption continues to increase.
Veteran skill and employability
Smart hiring managers and recruiters are always seeking an edge in terms of identifying the most talented prospective workers. Part of that involves looking in places where talent is underutilized or lies undiscovered -- and candidates with military experience often fall into this category.
