I’ve mentioned a few times recently that the hiring market has shifted to the candidate. And we’re seeing some of the effects with increased time to fill metrics. I ran across this article recently that talks about how more than half of organizations don’t have enough internal candidates to fill their succession plan. Maybe the situation is more than just “mention” worthy. I was on a webinar recently with our friends from HireRight and we asked participants if they had noticed a change in hiring.

We know you’ve seen them, the 10,000 articles out there about candidate screening questions. The “how to’s” the “dos and don’ts” and, of course, the “best practices” articles that flood the internet. It can almost convince you to believe that interviewing a new applicant is simple, or at least easy to follow given this “quick recipe to interviewing success.”. Screening Candidates Video Interview

Imagine this. Your sales team just landed an introductory meeting with a huge potential client — a client that could easily increase your annual revenue by 25 percent if you land the deal. How do they prepare? The first thing the sales team does is learn everything they can about the potential client. They do research, gathering intel on the client's current performance and looking for insight on their vulnerabilities.

Written by: May Huffer. At some point in time, many of you, if not all of you, have had to deal with integrating one HR system with another. As much as it would be nice to buy a bottle of gorilla glue for a quick fix, the odds are good that this approach will cost more time and money in the long run, unless it is done properly. Integrating HR systems is not only vital to the success of the platform itself, it’s an essential business requirement beyond just being a technical issue.

We wanted to know how COVID-19 impacted businesses and their workforces. Did they need government funds? How many workers did they layoff or furlough? Are employees working from home now? How’s team morale? And perhaps most importantly, what are their plans for the future?

There’s a big difference between knowing what the strategy is and being able to connect with it. Bottom-line: the difference is engagement. Organizations create strategies all the time. They communicate those strategies on a regular basis. For example, you could read a company’s strategy in the news. That doesn’t mean you’re connected with the strategy. It simply means you’ve read it, comprehended it, or agreed (or perhaps disagreed) with it. Maybe you can even articulate it.

In today's business environment, the people who make up a company are more important than ever. Gone are the days of interchangeable workers turning out widgets; the modern workplace is built on innovation and creativity, and getting the best ideas requires understanding how to attract, keep and work with the best talent. Does that mean your CHRO, the go-to expert on people and talent, might be the best choice when selecting a new president or CEO for your company?

It’s hard to attend an HR conference or visit an HR website and not hear the term “employee engagement.” Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends 2015 report rated culture and engagement as “the most important issue overall, slighting edging out leadership (the No. 1 issue last year)” in 2015. And for good reason. The employment landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades. Thirty years ago. there were more skilled people than there were available jobs.

This reader question happens more often than it should. I have a query. I interviewed recently with an investment bank. The interviewer gave me some positive feedback and said he was happy with our conversation. He emailed me later that “I will get another call (from HR) for a second interview with his manager.” I’m trying to call HR – she’s not responding to my calls or emails. I asked my interviewer and he said to let him follow it up with HR. Now I’m waiting! How do you see this situation?

Digital is disrupting every part of an organization's value chain at a record pace, creating a critical need to transform operations and employees' ways of working. Formal training alone can't keep up; it's often too slow, too generic, inconvenient, inefficient, unduly expensive and lacks or lags methods for measuring business-related effectiveness. Trish Uhl show you how to start leveraging Learning Engineering, a multidisciplinary approach that combines modern technology, data analytics, decision science, learning sciences and change management with human-centered engineering design methodologies to ultimately deliver targeted learning outcomes and business results that keep pace with the business and merge learning into the flow of work and lead Digital Adoption.

Imagine how different recruiting was just a few decades ago when a foreman in a Philadelphia railroad yard exited his office, crossed the workplace campus and was met by a mob of job candidates each morning. Not too long ago, word of job openings spread like wildfire through local neighborhoods and communities — all that separated the foreman and his next hire was a fence. But sourcing and recruiting workers today spins quite a different story.

There’s a phrase “for the long haul” meaning long-term or over the course of a long time. The idea is that the “thing” you’re working on should last a long time. Creating something that lasts doesn’t mean it can’t be changed or improved. I think about my first iPhone. It’s changed and gotten better over time. Some of those changes are software and some hardware. But it seems evident that the iPhone wasn’t created to be a short term fad or trend. It’s changed the way we live and do business.

According to the Aberdeen Group , 57 percent of companies use pre-hire assessments. And chances are that not all these companies are handling the procedure correctly. Assessments in hiring can be a great asset during the recruiting process, but you really need to be strategic and smart about it. Beware the Science of Questions. Have you ever tried to write a really good question to judge how much someone knows? It’s hard.

It was a humbling experience, and I had some of my preconceived notions turned upside down. In the past I would have imagined (based on my own experiences working in and with nonprofit organizations) that many nonprofits and NGOs are backward at worst and behind the times at best due to limited resources.

Citrix studies indicate that 64 percent of American workers would be willing to give up at least one perk to work remotely one day a week. With flexible work arrangements on the rise and as companies shift their policies to retain top talent, physical attendance at the office isn’t always a requirement. Management is challenging on its own, and these changes bring about a new set of considerations for managers of a remote workforce. Be Prepared to Communicate.

Leaders who curate their message show that they care. What if, as leaders, we were effective curators of our message? What if we coached our employees to be effective curators as well? The origins of the word “curator” are from the Latin word curare meaning “to care.” In this world where there is simply too much information to digest, leaders must find a way to help employees make sense of the barrage of information that inundates them every day.

While we grapple with how to best manage this generation of our workforce and what they want (or don't want) in their professional careers, one of the best things we can do is educate ourselves on what has shaped them into the way that they are.
