The following post is courtesy of the Recruiting Blogswap: “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” - Peter F. Drucker Books, movies, TV shows and a computer game, the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has many forms. Not to disappoint, but my guide is not so bold or interesting.

What Recruiters Do in a Recession – Research!
When you have difficult positions to fill, even though you may not be actively hiring now due to the recession, it’s the perfect time to think outside the box and be proactive. Suppose you continually need…let’s say…wireless engineers, and you currently employ ten, then take the time to informally interview them and gather information about their media habits. This can be of immeasurable help in the future when you are called upon to recruit other wireless engineers. Regardless... The Recruiters Lounge -

8 Ways to Spruce Up the Office
Many employees can relate to the boredom felt by characters in the “Dilbert” comic strip and “Office Space” movie, but the office doesn’t have to be mind-numbingly dull. Following these simple tips can help you liven up any office atmosphere: Bring the outdoors into the office. Some office workers rarely get to enjoy the great outdoors, so bring the outdoors in with some plants.

I can SO Multitask!
I can multitask. Sorry to disappoint you but I can. I don’t always do it well and I don’t always do it because some things require focus but I can do it. And let me tell you something, I am sick and tired of people telling me I can’t. The very first internet scuffle that ever happened to me involved this same old saw. The basic tenet was “How can you work when I see you on Twitter all day?” Then it bothered me, because I was worried it was true but I defended myself... Marenated -

Retarget Job Seekers After They Click and Run
Ask a job seeker, and they’ll tell you it doesn’t take long before they get lost or frustrated online during their job search. For starters the amount of duplicate job content has, at a minimum, doubled in the past year alone. From the tens of thousands of job boards, aggregator sites, and social recruiting approaches, who can blame them. Corporate career sites have long been the answer to engaging and converting site visitors to candidates (or applicants). With all of the technology... The Talent Buzz -

Minnesota Morning: Code 42 And SOPA Edition
This is a short version of Minnesota Morning today with many conversations with companies finding it difficult to recruit and hire IT folks. Worse, a few bordering on many are finding it difficult to retain the staff they have. All I can do is remind them of what I said March of 2010 when the IT jobs market came off the bottom... I told you so. I told them this was coming and very few planned for it. No, I am not complaining... this is good for me. No links today but a few short topics: Code42... MN Headhunter -

Confused about SOPA?
I was. Until I took the time to stop and read a little about it. Trust me you are not that busy. So, yes you do have to inform yourself dutiful citizen and yes, you do have to try to enact change with your very own fingers from your very own smartphone with the very precious minutes of your day. If this sounds condescending I apologize, I am mostly talking to myself. So if you’re stressed out about it, and perhaps you aren’t puttering around on Facebook or Twitter to see all these...

Smokers Need Not Apply
There was an interview on CNN yesterday about how some hospitals, the one yesterday is in in Ohio, are screening candidates for nicotine use. Unfortunately the video is not posted on their site which is unfortunate because there was a great Q&A. So far it seems just a few hospitals are doing this. Their reasons range from wanting to cut healthcare costs to promoting a healthier lifestyle. Critics ask about a slippery slope like beer drinkers and those who eat meat. I don’t know what...
