The Two-Pizza Rule
Full confession – I despise meetings. I have spent much of my career sitting through insanely inefficient meetings – I prefer to call them “boil the ocean” meetings. The topics in these meetings usually lacked clarity and focus so the meeting would drift…badly. Of course, when your boss is sitting in the meeting (or worse, was the one who called it) it is difficult to exit early. But alas, I have found an inspiring article with a fantastic idea.

Hiring Like A Detective
Yes, the title is a bit quirky, but it is true. A significant portion of successful hiring involves being a good detective. I have always taken that approach when helping our customers find the right salesperson for their position. To be a good detective, you need to be a bit skeptical. Sales candidates blow sunshine. Few have ever missed quota, most state their primary weakness is being a workaholic and all have earned everything they have accomplished. Right. In reality, most have...

Doctor Dollars
This CNNMoney.com article is fascinating, at least to me. A doctor opens up about his clinic/practice in terms of the financials of it. As a small business owner, I have a complete appreciation for the decisions he has to make in terms of his business. At the end of the day, it is a business.

Minnesota Morning
Aww heck, I went quite a few days in a row and then poof, almost three weeks go by. A new month maybe I can get on a roll again with these “daily” posts.

IAEWS survey seeks to answer how job seeker opinions of job boards differ from employers'
The current state of job boards and online recruitment is one of the most discussed and debated topics in our industry.
