New research by The Talent Acquisition Institute of North America reveals some interesting attitudes among TA professionals. The findings, based on a survey of Fortune 500 companies, suggests that as recruiting picks up in 2021, organizations will have to elevate their practices to attract the right people. Here are the study’s top five findings: 61%

And while I would never tell anyone not to embrace those wonderful traits, surprisingly, they can hinder your ability to hire effectively. In a thorough interview, candidates will generally let slip a few of their more worrying traits.

President Biden has made it clear. He is going to be fighting for workers. For recruiters, this means some big regulatory changes that will affect recruiting in hopes of reducing racial and gender disparities. Are you ready? New laws are not likely in the cards immediately. (With such a divided Congress, passing employment laws at

In 2001, Electronic Recruiting Exchange (now ERE) held its first event. A lot has changed since the days of “e-cruiting.” And a lot remains the same, for better and for worse. At ERE Digital, May 25-27, I’ll be moderating a panel, “If You Could Turn Back Time: Looking Back on 20 Years of Recruiting.” The

Here’s the truth, though: The charge is valid — but only when assessments are poorly designed or used.  So here’s another truth: While no one likes taking tests, it is a myth that assessments by default create a poor candidate

Life is a book and you can’t get an idea about it from its cover. There are ups and downs. Sometimes, you may feel that everything has its end, and your life is over here. But again, a new day gives the message that you are so wrong. But the fear is always there. You

However, there is a looming threat in our industry to essentially take the human out of HR Tech.  As a research team, we see this as a

Chad Sanders, author of Black Magic: What Black Leaders Learned From Trauma and Triumph, was asked during an interview with Brené Brown what he learned after interviewing 15 powerful Black leaders, scientists, artists, activists, and champions. Sanders responded: “Faith. When I go back and re-read the book, it’s teaching me that these people at some

It all started with the year 2020 when the pandemic hit across the globe. We knew nothing about how things are going to work in the first phase. Everyone was worried about coronavirus, and we saw many changes happening around us in a quick time. The first time we asked to wear a mask on

A study titled “Why New Hires Fail” recently discovered that 89% of hiring failures result from poor (or mismatched) attitudes — not a lack of technical skills. Across more than 20,000 new hires, mishires were most likely to result from a lack of coachability, emotional intelligence, motivation, or temperament. Only 11% stemmed from a lack of

High volume recruiting is no easy task for every company. Dealing with a gigantic amount of applicants is really time consuming, and if you’re not careful, you might fail to meet the deadline and fail to ensure the candidates’ experience.

Though some governments loosened restrictions and lifted the lockdown during the summer and early fall, the new wave of the virus has forced many countries including the United States to

A year ago I was giving an actual in person presentation on how to buy HR Tech to a group of HR directors.  As you can see, it was literally a fireside chat: I really love to speak to smaller groups as it allows for a conversation versus me just talking at people (also why

Even with the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic and quarantine measures, the global events industry remains active thanks to virtual event solutions. Once thought to be a passing trend, a virtual event solution is now a must-have tool for event planners and organizers during and even long after the pandemic. Out of 1776 individuals in

A few days back, while scrolling on social media amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I read an article citing that while in quarantine due to the plague, Sir Isaac Newton discovered calculus and William Shakespeare wrote “King Lear.” After reading that article, I believe all these reminders can motivate us to be more productive during this

When COVID-19 forced many companies to shutter their physical office space and ask their staff to work from home, it changed the way we all do business.  In today’s increasingly digital world, Human Resources teams are sometimes left behind in the technological landscape and this can significantly impact how effective we can be in our

Credential is a site where you can store your certificates and badges. Receive verified digital certificates and badges from trusted issuers or upload your own achievements. In some cases some badges and certificates form some organizations such as Rosetta Stone and more are automatically stored here.  Credential is not very well known to us in staffing, but can be a good resource for candidates.

Customer relationship management (CRM) and customer experience management (CEM) are commonly confused with one another. On the surface, both software solution types capture and analyze customer information, which is why businesses often question if they need to have both and if one can cover the same functionality of the other. This confusion is quite understandable,
