When I start to think about adding something like Live Video Interviewing or Video Screening to my HR/Recruiting Toolbox – I instantly go to about 100 reasons why we can’t do that in our environment! It’s too Technical! It will take too much time! It will cost too much! I’m not smart enough to make [...]
********GUEST POST ALERT*********** The post is brought to you by John Whitaker from People Results. John calls himself the Texas “Me” – which I’m not sure I would ever admit to, but at least he has enough sales sense to flatter me for a guest post – plus I like his writing style! Check him [...]
I have a feeling I’m about to preach to the choir. I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had with hiring manager lately – that just don’t get it! (I hear you saying “What do you mean “lately” – did hiring manager “ever” get it!) The Recession has made our job very hard – [...]

Have you ever worked for a boss that was horrible? That’s an easy question to answer, isn’t it! The person came immediately to your mind (for my staff reading this, if I came to your mind first, your fired! I tease – you’re not fired – just come see me after your done reading this…) [...]
Are you working in a HR department that sucks? You know if you are, it’s alright, you can admit it – it’s the first step of changing it. I bet I talk to over a hundred HR Pros a year that begin the conversation with – “our HR department sucks!” or “my company doesn’t get [...]
For the background of this list – see my original post from 2-10-12. The #19 Rap Lyric That Shaped My Leadership Style comes from Ice T’s song New Jack Hustler from the New Jack City movie soundtrack – classic early 90′s movie by the way, with a great part played by an up-and-coming comedian Chris [...]
