They have some 20 millions users, each with “in-depth” personality profiles. Today’s hiring trends (according to them) suggest that employers tend to pick people based on “four to five superficial traits” much like meeting someone in a bar.

'Over eight weeks in the summer of 2013, my son and I cycled 3,700 miles across the country, from San Francisco back home to Alexandria, Virginia. The trip was something my son Alex had long been dreaming of and planning to do since graduating from high school. When other co-riders could not join Alex (18), Chris (that’s me, 52) decided to join – and thus launched the adventure, a two-month father-son road trip taking place just before Alex headed off to college.

When companies and managers seek to formulate and design their recruitment and talent acquisition strategies, the overbearing work load seems to leave them feeling stressed. Although, what companies have to realize is that the stresses they experience in hiring and recruitment are nothing compared to the stresses that accompany the potential job seekers.

The internet is rife with websites claiming to be the authority on résumé do’s and don’ts, tricks of the trade, and how to set yourself apart.

You’ve been exposed to a sizable cross-section of the job-seeking world’s résumés, and we figured it’s about time we mined that knowledge.

'As most anyone will tell you, first impressions are the most lasting. It’s said that it takes just one-tenth of a second for us to make our first impression of someone. If someone’s first impression of us is a negative one, that perception can be tough to shake. Now, the temp you recently recruited and placed at your client company probably already made a series of good impressions — they were hired, after all.

A recent survey conducted by staffing juggernaut Adecco had some great insights relating to the millennial generation. As a crusty old hiring veteran, I have interviewed hundreds of job candidates over the last 10 years and I have witnessed first-hand the behaviors documented in the survey. Reading the Adecco survey compelled me to write this article for the sake of job seekers, and for the sake of recruiters who want to do a better job of preparing their candidates for the interview.

'Putting a check mark in one “yes” box on a job application often means the difference between working and despairing. But a sweeping wave of legislation is poised to help ex-offenders whose pens have hovered over the dreaded “Have you ever been convicted of a felony” question. The official campaign, known as “Ban the Box,” aims to erase that question from job applications and verbal exchanges with candidates before a first interview is granted.

'The interviewee steps tentatively into your office, hat (figuratively or literally) in hand. You offer your hand and his sweaty palms shake it a little too hard. You beckon him to sit, and he does ever-so-gingerly, as if he could break your chair if he’s not careful. His eagerness to please seems to be making him extra nervous, even jittery. (At any rate, you’re hoping that’s the only thing making him jittery!).

'As staffing professionals, it’s easy to get frustrated at the people who let us down. After all, from that first point of contact to the day they start their first work assignment, we have a lot of time, and sometimes emotion, invested in them. And when they finally set foot on our client’s property, it’s our reputation that’s on the line, our judgment that’s questioned if it all goes wrong.

'Where are the women? That’s what many were asking this month when Twitter created 1,600 instant millionaires with their Initial Public Offering. As The New York Times put it , “The board? All white men. The investors? All men. The executive officers?
