A software company's competitor often ends up being not another software house but the in-house IT guys who have the owner's ear and a desire to do their own development. They come to us with long RFP's and requests for scripted demos only to decide in the end that they can do it cheaper. It's fun in a sick sort of way to hear about the result a few years later as in this case from a public stock bulletin board: "Numbers are being generated from applications held together with band-aids upon ban

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 swore I would never study a foreign language and managed to avoid them in high school, but when my dormmates at Claremont made fun of me one day for not knowing what a conjugation was I went down the next day and signed up to study in France the following year. Soon after - this is a true story - almost every other dormmate in my year signed up as well and several of us including their girlfriends became close friends.

I hate getting 'friended' by someone via LinkedIn or FaceBook when there is no note or any stated reason that the party wants to be my 'friend'. After all, wouldn't it seem dumb if someone out of the blue emailed you or phoned you or stopped you on the street and said nothing more than "Hi, it's me."? Wouldn't that seem to violate norms of behavior and make you suspicious that the person was going to waste your time and possibly try to sell you something or give you a disease?

Here's a challenge for you aspiring writers out there: try to write a more trite piece of prose than this mission statement that I found in one of our employee manuals: At TempWorks Software, our mission is simple. We strive to differentiate ourselves in our market by achieving excellence in two areas: providing an unparalleled product and delivering superior customer service.

A Slashdot contributor gives some common sense advice about preparing a resume. He wrote this for a technical job seeker, but the message that you should actually find out what someone wants before offering to sell them something applies everywhere: If you list a bunch of divergent technologies on your resume, and you describe yourself as a jack of all trades, employers basically see you as a junior admin with exposure to a lot of different technologies that really doesn't know all that much (es

Independent temporary staffing agencies used to dot South Robert Trail, a major boulevard here in St. Paul, and so when a client that was thinking of opening an office here visited us a few months back, I thought I'd show him where all the competition was. Surprise! They have almost all moved on. Could it be that the current dip in temporary staffing is taking its toll?

A common fallacy in the staffing business is that pursuing new market niches will increase your company's market valuation. I'm not sure where the fallacy originated, but I hear it propagated most by merger and acquisition broker types that have fallen in to the trap of confusing correlation with causality. Yes, there is a correlation - buyers often seek niche players as a way to enter a new market.

Consulting companies like Accenture venture into the staffing space under the cloak of impartiality: "We're here to evaluate the staffing vendors for our client", they say. "So if you want to be considered, dump all your candy here in the lobby. Give us your rates and tell us how you plan to recruit." Armed with this kind of information, Snowball and Napoleon couldn't help but go into the staffing business for themselves!

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.

Surprisingly, what is clearly unprofessional conduct, and in some cases malpractice in medicine and law, is all-to-often standard operating procedure for sales professionals. We not only let customers diagnose their own problems, we actually encourage them to do it by asking them to report it through these “opinion level” questions. Read more.

Loyal readers know how little I think of the following advice from a career coach writer Phyllis Korkki consulted in this Sunday's Career Couch column : "People need to be certain that their resumes are key-word-rich." This is exactly, frighteningly, horribly wrong advice. Recruiters need to sort through a lot of resumes, it's true. But the first ones they flush are those that contain spam.

By the time I got to India in the early 1990s to sell my software package to Air India, the average salaries for talented developers there fell well below the $1/hr range. Opening a development center seemed like a slam dunk. With bill rates ranging from $100/hr to $150/hr in the U.S. and Germany, how could you beat those kind of margins? Fast-forward to 2007 and I can't say enough how glad I am to have passed on the temptation.

Why is it that people who hold to being liberal, open-minded and educated can so quickly throw all that away when the subject of sex and babies comes up? How is it that they so quickly confuse correlation with causality? I'll offer two examples and ask readers to enlighten me. The first involves a chapter from a recent book by economist Steven Landsburg.
