Competence of the Human Resource Profession

Jim Bolt — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:34:49 -0400

I just read about the results of an interesting new study, “State of the Global Talent Nation”, conducted by Softscape. 94% of the 250 human resource professionals surveyed say they “don’t feel their personnel are adequately prepared to meet future company goals”. And that is 30 percent worse than three years ago. What’s even more disturbing? More than half of them say the big reason this is so is they are not confident that their business effectively manages human resource processes.

Super Stars need not apply: How HR systems are culling the very people that companies need the most.

Morgan Bates — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:39:29 -0400

Anyone who has looked for a job in the last four years has probably noticed something very odd was going on. With only a few exceptions almost every single company has the same format in order to apply for a job. This same format of course leads to the same flaws emerging and the same people being excluded.

Why All HR Departments Need a Blog

Andres Acosta — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:26:18 -0400

"If You Were An Animal, What Kind Would You Be?" - When You Hear This Question, Get Up And Leave The Room Immediately!

Joshua Letourneau — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:35:41 -0400

So the interview is going well - You're in upper management and have led many successful behavioral interviews yourself in the past. All indications are that you're knocking it dead . . . and then the person on the other end of the line (or across the table) drops a bomb:

"If you were an animal, what kind would you be?"
OR
"If you came back to life as an animal, which would you come back as?"

Job Seekers, Beware!: Why Job Board Resumes Are Seen As Re-circulatory Garbage

Joshua Letourneau — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:26:40 -0400

Take a good look at the attached image and you'll begin to understand the analogy between Job Board resumes and Re-circulatory Garbage . . .

Take another look at let it sink in a little bit. Many candidates I speak with do not truly understand the ramifications of having their name, address, and phone number, etc. public on a board like Monster, CareerBuilder, etc, for the whole world to see. Think about it: Do you really want your information to be used as wallpaper for every corporate and third-party recruiter out there?
