Martin H.Snyder commented on Hassan Rizwan's blog post 'What is Professionalism and how to Judge it?'

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," sa...

Martin H.Snyder commented on Suzanne M King's blog post 'Duplication of Effort'

two thoughts- 1. If your staff recruiters are "competing" with line managers, then there is an obvious overcapacity problem: somebody has too much time on their hands. If the truth is that line managers are becoming more adept at recruiting and h...

Martin H.Snyder commented on HiringSciences's blog post 'The Mechanic in a Suit: Harbinger of a Buyer’s Market'

Funny I see the headline as a dual meaning: yea things are tight right now and people are dying for work, but the demographic and cultural reality is that fewer and fewer people are ready, willing, and able to handle serious mechanical work. Those...

Martin H.Snyder commented on Christopher McCann's blog post 'Balancing Practicality with Passion'

There are a lot of levels to this.... for example, you can be hugely passionate about a goal (landing a man on the moon) but be stuck in a goal critical job that still sucks (mixing stinky epoxy for a thermal protection system). You can have a job...

Our higher-ed system does a great job on the professional tracks: we have the most accessable and successful engineering, legal, and medical education in the world. Likewise with basic research and our community college system; both sectors are we...

Is your ATS truly mashed-up with your Microsoft Outlook ?

I saw a post on Steve Boese's HR Technology blog that caught my eye, mainly because I love to read stuff that confirms my own pet ideas, and especially the ones I bet my own dear dear money on.

What we are betting on is that corporate (and some third-party) recruiters would love to use MS Outlook as their primary ATS interface. Not a mere integration, but a total mas… Continue

Tilting at a favorite windmill, again.....Assessment

Anyone who has read my posts and comments over the years or who works closely with me knows that I have a few pet ideas outside of my direct domains of recruiting software and yacht racing.

One of those pet ideas revolves around assessment, both pre-hire and post-hire.

The idea is stone simple, but it meets lots of resistance: in many cases, it’s a waste of time to assess individual performance with the usual success metrics.

Not all the time of course- as my friend (and mentor of thin… Continue

Super Bowl Ads 2009- FAIL ? It was a violent time of it.....

Well that was fun, but not really.

Football is a violent sport- that's one of the reasons why we enjoy it- because the violence is in support of the goal; part of the price of victory. Two weeks ago, the Steelers-Ravens collision was one of the most violent football games I ever watched- scary at times in its intensity.

So when you watch the Super Bowl, the ads have always been sort of comic r… Continue

Tuesday Morning Quarterback on the Unwanted, Under Appreciated, and Poorly Assessed

Some folks enjoy Gregg Easterbrook's writing and some don't. His lens is often the contrary view, which can be tiresome (like anything) if thats his only approach. OTH its a pretty good way of looking at things (per Socrates).

I am reminded by TMQ of my never ending battle with Wendell Williams (and other Assessment mavens) that circles around the idea that individual assessment, wh… Continue
