When it comes down to writing a great self-appraisal, a lot of questions come to mind. What are they used for? How are you supposed to promote yourself without coming off as a show-off?

So, you are looking to hire someone to join your stellar team? And you have already posted the job to LinkedIn or other hiring sites? Did you make sure to only include a massive block of text and no visuals? And shared it exactly one time on your Twitter account? Perfect. You did the absolute minimum, have fun fighting for a great candidate with every other business… But, that approach MUST be effective if so many companies are doing it, right?

As our workforce evolves, so must the way we support it. With more employees choosing to work beyond age 65, HR leaders are increasingly being called upon to guide aging employees through one of the most complex transitions in their professional lives - from employer sponsored plans to Group Medicare. Without clear guidance, confusion around eligibility, coverage options, and cost implications can lead to uncertainty and missed opportunities for optimized benefits.

Staying motivated is all about staying engaged and excited about what you are doing. Therefore, the key to self-motivation is giving yourself something to look forward to on a regular basis. This can either come in the form of a goal you are hoping to achieve or a reward you will earn for yourself (or give yourself) if you achieve your goal. For example, most fitness fanatics will reward themselves at the end of a competition with a juicy burger, cupcake or some other indulgence.

Interviewing is hard. It’s tough to assess a candidate’s potential, and all to easy to rely on job requirements and experience. If you’re looking to improve quality of hire, focusing on potential and a candidate’s ability to grow within your organisation could give you better results than just looking for required experience. Think beyond a candidate’s current skills during the assessment process.

Our friends at Software Advice took a look at the pros and cons of hiring boomerang employees. You know, those revolving door colleagues that leave a position just to come back a few years (or months) later. Historically, it’s been a faux pas for an employee to want to return to an old gig, or even more so for an employer to re-hire them. But not anymore.

Recruiters have millennials on their minds. It’s hardly surprising. Millennials (those born after 1980) are the most educated generation in history – almost half of UK millennials have at least one degree. They understand and welcome the technological innovations and globalisation reshaping the workplace. And they cannot be ignored, being on course to represent 75% of the global population within a decade.

Many think the only purpose of the hiring process is to evaluate candidates. If a job seeker has the skills and traits required, great. If not, the process is over for that individual. While that mindset helps organizations reach their goal of filling empty positions, it ignores what a candidate wants. Job seekers are looking to find the right company and role for them.
