No so fast on leaving New York State

Back on May 22, I noted that Tom Golisano, founder and billionaire owner of Paychex, decided that New York statutory environment was driving businesses out of the state. Under the now - and hopefully single term - Governor Patterson, New York is becoming a place that is unfriendly towards business; unfriendly to business means unfriendly to recruiting.

Yesterday saw an old fashioned coup up in Albany… Continue

Restraint of trade? Violation of the Sherman Anti Trust Act of 1890? I'm sorry but you can keep your best people - we don't want them!!

Oh Lord take me now! What is a recruiter to do???

Da Syndicate awaits da response from da FOKs...

Forbes wants people to reinvent their careers

Eight people who were once big earners before seeing pink are profiled by Forbes as an indicator that anyone can reinvent themselves and become more fulfilled.

We see a Senior Vice President at Wellpoint who refused to relo from New Hampshire to Indiana - and the company acquiesced; a web development consultant who fiddles with code on his cell while the barber trims his locks; a 32 year o… Continue

Involuntary P/T workforce - a leading indicator

Involuntary part-time workers account for "...almost one in three of all part-time workers. Almost all the new involuntary part-time workers were formerly full-time workers accepting cutbacks in hours. Part-time employment invariably rises during recessions, but...the magnitude of the rise in this recession has been unprecedented since records were first kept in the 1950s. It also suggests that the jobs numbers and unemployment rate underestimate the extent to which employers have cut costs b… Continue

You're a Thought Leader - A Song

Sung to Pat Benetar's Heartbreaker.

Your thoughts are like a tidal wave, injecting into my mind
Takin’ me to another place where, recruiting isn’t maligned
You're a leading recruiter, you’re someone who I want to be
Will you be my tutor, and take me on a thinking spree

You're a Thought Leader
Mind reader, Idea breeder
Sumser cannot disagree!

Ann Taylor cuts the fat

Ann Taylor claims there aren’t any overweight – sorry, big boned - fashion conscious women anymore who can afford the company’s size 16 couture so they’ve made a decision to stop carrying the clothes in their stores only online (sure, women who pay $200 plus for a blouse will happily order it online without first trying it on for fit). Analysts on the other hand see an obvious strategy – co… Continue

You have no idea how to really interview candidates

Kris Dunn wants to waterboard candidates and as a mutual fan of 24, I say it's high time we Jack Bauer potential employees (you'll notice my Jack Bauer facts on the right side of my RBC page).

I just don't call it asking for negative information as Kris puts it; what he's referring to is interviewing… Continue

Our catty whompus 'conomy - why?

As Sandra McCartt might say about the government pointing to all the positive signs in the economy, "Just because a chicken has wings don't mean it can fly." Today we found out that Ken Lewis, the teetering CEO of Bank of America, testified that Bernanke and Paulson and "...the government wanted him to keep quiet while the two sides negotiated government funding to help BofA absorb Me… Continue

Wondering @Wharton

Food for thought...

For the past decade, a job at an investment bank has been coveted. Now the implosion of Wall Street has not only shaken a generation's ambitions, it has also unleashed them.

Can't plan a workforce without good numbers

Robert Rivet, CFO of Advanced Micro Devices, reminded analysts during recent conference calls that "the current environment is pretty murky, visibility is pretty low."

It's not easy trying to plan your future workforce trends when even the CFOs are having a difficult time making sense of it all...

Nice meeting you by phone, Steve. See you around.

Yes, that's a yes. If you wouldn't mind sharing my website with her, or her contact information with me, that would be great. My contact information is on my website. It might be better if she saw what I do first before she contacts me. It takes the pressure off if she's not in the fan arena for my style of work. That's very kind of you. If something works out, that means you get some free art. I always scratch the back of the hand that extends towards me in this regard.

I appreciate it.

Yes, this is really me! It's the other part of me, the artist that HAS to be creative. Thanks for your compliment. I also appreciate the suggestion of a contact at Christies, although I really don't believe I'm in the arena/category of artists that they sell. Don't they typically sell work from World famous and/or dead World famous artists for zillions of dollars through auction? That's my understanding. And I'm certainly not in that category. I'm collected around the World. But there are tons of us artists out there, that no one will ever know on a grand scale, but who enjoy success, but will never be in the publics eye. We're just as good as those that are, but not everyone can fit on the head of a pin!

Thanks again. I always appreciate an art fan and an art compliment. It's almost better than selling a painting. Not AS fun, but almost!

Enjoy your weekend. And thanks for the banter on the "other" topic this week. Hopefully no hurt feelings. I have none towards you. I hope you have none towards me. It's a big World out there and we're all entitled to our opinions and it's okay to have the hair on the back of our necks stand up from time to time. It's always innocent. Right?

Hi Steve, Just got your VM. Yes I noticed the HTML link was not showing up on there. I guess the 'add-link' tab is not working properly. I've added the link since then on the original message. Thanks for noticing.

Missing link: www.theofficialboard.com

Steve,
Will you need the person available for questions from the Recruiters?

I think I might have two folks interested in letting their resume get critiqued - how semi anomymous is this? Call or email! Denyse
