Make old methods of recruiting obsolete. Social media recruiting was the hot new thing. And then, it wasn’t. It had become ‘wallpaper’ – just part of the recruiting landscape. I’m not saying that social media recruiting isn’t used – or useful. But after its turn in the spotlight, it simply settled...

Have No Fear, the Robot Revolution is NOT Here
We’ve seen it in I, Robot, Ex Machina and RoboCop; the formidable takeover of the human race by machines, or more specifically, artificial intelligence (AI). But is the threat of the robo-revolution real or is it just our 21st century anxiety getting the better of us?

These days, the term “employer branding” gets bandied about a lot. But what does it mean? Like consumer branding, which builds reputation and recognition for products, employer branding is about doing the same for your workplace.

Then the email comes, and it usually begins with an “Unfortunately.” Or maybe...

If your company wants to recruit and hire top performers, understand what they want and need most from their employers. Fortunately, the answer isn’t just a generous paycheck. Because top performers often know their worth and potential, they are more selective about where they work.
