Martin H.Snyder commented on Zachary Sines's blog post 'Hobbies and Interests Section on a Resume? Well...'
A resume is a sales document, designed for two specific purposes; to secure the interview, and to provide a framework for the interviewer.  As such, any information that differentiates the candidate in a positive way should be included. …

Martin H.Snyder commented on John Kreiss's blog post 'Should Employers be Required to Hire Unemployed Applicants?'
not discriminating does not equal mandatory hiring, so the premise is just a setup for discussion about the value of unemployed candidates.  "active v. passive" is another frame for the same premise. some % of unemployed people…

Martin H.Snyder commented on Tim Giehll's blog post 'Five Things to Look for in Applicant Tracking Software ATS'
Ouch Andrew.... I just dislike the unfortunate term "Applicant Tracking System" since "applicants" are a late stage recruiting process result.  Lots of " tracking" is required long before the person is an…

Martin H.Snyder replied to Jessica Lunk's discussion 'People vs. Technology - Are Recruiters Facing Extinction?'
Recruiting is a basic economic process, (like acounting or manufacturing), which is done everywhere and always. Thus recruiters cannot become extinct unless all economic activity stops (e.g. a comet strikes the Earth). Now who pays who…

Don't like that Facebook post about your company ? Be Very Careful Responding !

Posted on February 9, 2011 at 2:55pm 0 Comments

I thought this news story was interesting enough to post about.

Maureen had one up the other day directly on this topic- this news will bear on that discussion.

The news is that the NLRB has waded into the debate about what employees may post on Facebook without fearing retaliation or…

Social Security Numbers in your DB: Must-Know Info

Posted on January 20, 2011 at 9:47am 5 Comments

Almost all states have security breach laws that require notification (at least) of individuals when a data holder suffers unauthorized disclosure of certain personally identifiable information.

The important facts to know are the definitions of personally identifiable information and what it takes to achieve “safe harbor” in the event of disclosure.  

The usual definition of personally identifiable…

Pre-hire assesment is mostly wack-a-doo: I knew it all along- finally some science !

Posted on December 21, 2010 at 2:46pm 0 Comments

 

For years I've been pointing out the obvious; if you assess individuals by themselves, and you assess them before they join your organization, you are not assessing the actual people who will be working for you. 

 

The reasons are simple enough; most high-value work is done in groups, and once a person joins your organization, they're altered by the experience, and they alter the people already working there.  I have reiterated these thoughts dozens of times, and it's…

The Recruiting Profession is SO DEAD and LinkedIn has killed it, and they are unstoppable.

Posted on November 5, 2010 at 1:22pm 0 Comments

This was a comment on this thread, which I decided to just reformat as a blog post, adding a few lines here and there to extend/clarify.

The evergreen "Recruiters are finished" will never, ever, ever come true. Firms have a qualification view of people, while Recruiters have a market view of people. The two mindsets will never go away, and the market view is the more powerful and accurate…

LinkedIn Bullhorn Group B.S. - Ethics Question "Global Staffing Leaders"

Posted on April 12, 2010 at 12:00pm 9 Comments

I'm not a huge LinkedIn user. I have my own reasons; one being that I see them as a potential major competitor (all of us in the ATS/Recruiting business should be wary of them) but another being that I just don't have that much bandwidth between Facebook (which I really must use for family and friends) and email (which is how I do most of my work). In regards to our sales reps, we say to use whatever tools they think will move them forward-…
