Nothing makes me happier than having someone ask me to spout off on something I am passionate about. So, here goes. People are being fired for making TikTok videos. In one case, a new employee made a video talking about how excited she was to land her new job and mentioning their salary. One person was fired for making videos doing their job on the job.

Nov 6, 2024It looks better than it feels. Or is it the other way around? The October U.S. jobs report only reported 12,000 jobs added, but that’s because of an ongoing strike at Boeing and the impact of Hurricanes Milton and Helene. However, unemployment stayed steady at 4.1% in the U.S., and unemployment worldwide in major industrialized countries/regions remains relatively low as well. With inflation continuing to cool in the U.S., the Fed is poised for another quarter-point cut.

As I made my way to the local pharmacy on a crisp Manhattan evening in late October, I saw a good many ghouls, vampires, and zombies on the sidewalk. While Halloween was still a few days off – the parties would seem to have begun. Soon, I was perusing the items in the candy aisle, and I was struck by the labels on these “food” items for the soon-to-be visiting trick-or-treaters.

Oct 28, 2024We are in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), especially in talent acquisition (TA). Every TA solution has rolled out AI enhancements in the last few years. Okay, sure, AI boasts the potential to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and make our jobs more manageable, but at the heart of talent acquisition lies, well, people. Despite the influx of AI-driven solutions, a fundamental truth remains: people still trust people.

Oct 23, 2024They told me their application volume increased by 33.3% in the past six months, a very specific number for a big increase in mostly unqualified applicants for a large organization. And we keep hearing this over and over again from the employers, big and small, across industries in our CandE Community. The increases are mostly from midsized companies to global enterprises, but there have been smaller companies with similar increases in volume.

Oct 17, 2024Shhh! The Candidates Are Talking: What 60 Million Conversations Can Teach Us About the Candidate Experience. My amazing dad used to always tell me, ‘You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.’ As you can imagine, he said this because I tend to talk a lot—and loudly. I never needed a mic, if you catch my drift. But like many things in life, my dad was right.

It’s hard to believe social recruiting has been around for nearly 20 years. I remember back in 2005, working with a brand to launch its first social presence on MySpace. Once you’re done giggling about Tom, your Top 8, and the insane gifs on your page, remember just how far we’ve all come since those days. Thinking back on this, I remember the team working on this, knowing that an audience was amassing on this new channel. It was growing and sticky.

Jul 11, 2024Unless you’re hiring someone to fill a role in which they will never be asked to think for themselves, exercise critical judgment, or take proactive action, you will want people who can make decisions. Sure, not everyone is making decisions with an organization-wide impact, but that doesn’t mean that important decisions aren’t regularly made by every single employee.

The alignment between a candidate’s working style and the leadership style of their prospective manager is paramount. A candidate who thrives under a specific type of leadership can excel and bring incredible value to the organization. By contrast, a mismatch will lead to frustration, disengagement, and even turnover. Data from the “What’s Your Leadership Style?” test reveals that two-thirds of employees would rather their leader have a different style than the one they’re presently using.

Apr 10, 2024Each moment of a job interview is a golden opportunity to delve into a candidate’s capabilities and assess their fit and potential within your organization. Yet, a common misstep lurks in the shadows: the temptation to unleash a barrage of questions, hoping to cover every conceivable base. This seemingly thorough approach often backfires, yielding surface-level insights rather than the profound understanding we seek.
