My First Blog

There is no time like the present to start something new. That is why I decided to try my hand at this exciting and informative thing everyone is talking about called Blogging. I was told since I can talk to anyone, and even to myself at times, that this would be a great avenue for me to get my thoughts out there. I know I am a little behind the times just now posting my first blog. I can remember the first time I heard the word blog. It was in 2003 I was right out of college, at what I now ref… Continue

Fistfuls of Talent

Farmer Wants a Wife - But These Girls Have "Retention Issue" Written All Over Them...

Oh yeah, admit it, you knew the chick from Omaha would be writing this one. Have you seen the promos for this particular show? It's called "Farmer wants a Wife". Premise? Hundreds (okay tens) of glam pixies with very trim...

New Recruiting Campaign - Keyword "Google Killer"....

WOW - I love it when a company is in a competitive situation, and lets it all hang out, even with something as image restricted as the recruiting process. What's gotten me thinking about this? This freaking cool ad from...

Shhh! Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet. I'm Huntin' Wabbits!

By now, we are all painfully familiar with the term ATS (Applicant Tracking System). I say painfully, because there is a lot of pain involved with these systems. I am not talking about the pain of selecting and then implementing...

Can You Sell the Flipping Offer a Little Bit, Please?

Here's a big struggle for me as an internal recruiter and HR pro - I like the manager to make the offer to a candidate. After all, he/she is the lifeline for the employee within the company, so it makes...

Candidates Who Flame Former Co-Workers...Never a Good Idea!

Disclaimer: I have changed the names to protect the innocent in this scenario. As you'll see and read below, the only innocent ones who deserve protection are "former co-worker", "manager", and "third party" - the "candidate" doesn't deserve protection, but...

Recruiter Resources Review

LinkedIn Review #4: Is a Bigger Network Really Better?

I recently had the privilege of speaking with Kevin Stakelum - the Staffing Manager supporting Microsoft's Developer Division and Business Online Services Group. In this role, he manages strategic recruiting initiatives and a team of recruiters who support two product development businesses that consist of approximately 4000 employees. He had seen a recent blog posting of mine (LinkedIn Review #2

Recruiting Blogs Are Boring

The first entry is always so intimidating, so I'll keep it simple and introduce my mission for this site. My company has three main divisions - two of which revolve around recruiting/staffing/headhunting. We have access to just about any tool or resource that we ask for to make us the best recruiting resource available in our specific industries. While this will certainly evolve over time, these

More on Not Stinking As a HR Pro...

Last week, I riffed on When People Say HR Stinks, It's Simple...Don't Stink as a follow up to the Vurv report that HR is weak. The answer is really simple to me as noted by the title - be good....

Worst Benefit Idea of 2008 - The Gas Price Guarantee....

Gas prices are high. Jeff Spicoli high. With that in mind, companies are doing what they should - thinking about the burden carried by employees who have long commutes. For many, that means thinking about what, if anything, can be...

Show Me the Freaking Money - Sharing Pay Ranges With Associates...

Sharing pay ranges with your employees - do you do it? Three schools of thought here: 1. We share nothing. Maybe we have nothing (by way of comp ranges, etc.) 2. We have stuff, but don't share it broadly. We'll...

To All You Hardcore Managers - Pay the OT Already!!

I'll say this again for the managers out there who read the Capitalist... You have to pay OT to hourly employees; it's never optional because of a policy or procedure violation... If an employee is classified as non-exempt or hourly,...

Beyond the ATS

Wanted: Director, Recruiting Analytics

Technology cannot solve the candidate source tracking crisis by itself. Part of the solution is human. Why? Some large companies with applicant tracking systems (ATS) very capable of automated candidate source tracking have no idea that capability exists. So the technology is there, but it is not being utilized. These are major retailers, educational institutions and Fortune 5

Three New Questions for Your ATS RFP

In talking with companies about their applicant tracking systems (ATS) and, often, their searches for a new or replacement ATS, a few questions have come up that I thought I would share. I don't get to work on ATS RFPs anymore, but it would be great to be able to see the answers to some of these. Question 1: How is your system optimized for search engines? If yes to any of the sub-questions below, please provide examples with your answers. 1a: Does it generate u

Why Say No to Candidate Source Tracking?

(Before I get started, I wanted to let everyone know that I never planned "Why Say No" to become a series!) In the past two weeks or so, I have spoken to multiple companies that are not interested in adding new candidate sources to their applicant tracking systems (ATS). For those new to this blog (and my professional obsession), candidate sources are the options that job seekers have when th

Job Data You Can't See Might Still Be There

I once worked on a project where we hosted both internal and external job data for a client. Internal job data was used for job pages on the company intranet while external data was displayed on the public company career site. Internal job data was never to be displayed externally, which made sense, because it included details like the recruiter's full name and employee referral bonus amount, which would cause confusion and many unwanted e-mails and phone calls. The best wa

ATS Band-aids

One of my favorite and most technical projects was a client career Web site that needed to integrate three job sources - two Taleo Enterprise Edition applicant tracking systems (ATS) and one legacy system. The goal was a consistent job seeker experience with a single job search that presented results from all three systems in a unified way. By importing the job data into common database tables along with the legacy data on a scheduled basis, we achieved that objective. What my team didn't r
