The following blog post is part 3 of a 3-part series , which is adapted from a speech given by Harlan Schafir (CVO, CEO of ExactHire and Human Capital Concepts) at the Collective Alternative Executive Speaker Series on September 17, 2015. In my previous two posts from this series, I discussed how changing demographics, views on the nature of work and the workplace, and rapid advances in technology have converged to create intense competition for talent in today’s job market.

Most Agency recruiters today are dinosaurs. Fact. To ensure survival, and indeed prosperity, every recruiter needs these two key attributes. Have you got them?

Every company wants high performers. They’re more productive, highly driven, can save you money on hiring and, if you can keep them around long enough, they have the potential to do great things for your organization. But when it comes to attracting them, it seems companies are still stuck with their outdated ideas of talent acquisition. They’re still trying to attract high performers with compensation , and this isn’t the way to go about it.

Over the weekend, the Herald ran a story regarding Anthony Kiro , a former professional League player, who through the use of forged documents, secured a job as a senior advisor at the Financial Markets Authority.

In today’s dynamic work landscape, where the lines between personal and professional life blur, understanding the intricate interplay between social determinants of health (SDoH) and emotional wellbeing is paramount. Employers must acknowledge that the whole person comes to work and every aspect of a person’s personal and professional life, especially their mental health, comes with them.

“I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies.”– Lawrence Bossidy , retired chairman and CEO of Honeywell. Recruiting the right team of people is essential to the prosperity of any company, but it’s arguably the most important key to success for startups.

Today, I’d like to talk about staffing our organizations to meet the demands of growth and turnover–or simply, talent management.

The hiring process can be nerve-wracking for candidates. They can wait weeks to hear back about jobs, if at all. Good employers make the hiring process as easy on candidates as possible , and this means more than creating automatic forms. It means developing a more personal experience from start to finish. Make yourself a better employer, find better candidates, hire better employees by keeping these few things in mind.

Pardon ME????!? No, no, no - not that backside. I’m talking the “marketing life-cycle” backside. Think in terms of your job search; if you’re in the category of “long-term” unemployed, you have a branding issue – how do you continue to promote and differentiate a brand (you) that is way past the honeymoon stage? What is your strategy for keeping that brand profitable in the mature stage?

Case of the Mondays, anyone? Mondays get a bad rap for being the first day of the week and being somewhat mundane in general. Everyone is back in the office to regularly scheduled meetings and phone calls instead of enjoying weekend fun with friends and family. Blah! Luckily, I work at a company that believes in building and growing a fun culture. I was recently named the Fun Ambassador here at ExactHire, and my Fun Committee includes two other coworkers.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
