We are constantly “preaching” to our stakeholders to consider transferable skills to broaden their talent pools.
We are speaking to many of our senior level job seekers, and hearing about extra -ordinary levels of candidate burnout.
We’re constantly “preaching” to our stakeholders to consider transferable skills to broaden their talent pools.
Hiring companies really cannot afford to continue with bad recruitment processes, especially when the fixes are free to effect.
My colleagues and I have seen so many of the same mistakes made by senior level job seekers from across the HR profession, so many times.
If you are caught lying on your resume, it can lead to disqualification from the hiring process and tarnish your reputation.
Being able to actively contribute on business matters, offer insights, and provide perspectives beyond just people-related issues...
…beyond providing safe and pleasant work conditions and fair payment for work done, the employer should have no further involvement with the private lives of their employees.
Sharing your experiences with others can also provide perspective and help you determine the best course of action.
Too often there is a limited pool of qualified, high performance HR professionals available in the job market.
Please don't oversell your experience. I can spot B.S. a mile off, and I will rate you more for your honesty if you haven't done everything we need.
Managing day to day service delivery in addition to the enormous workload burden of pandemic crisis management was simply exhausting
Poor handling of redundancies and layoffs are classic examples of how HR can instantly be labelled as unfeeling, “two faced”, disrespectful and callous.
Ensuring engaged employees is not a fluffy HR concept, nor a passing trend, nor an intangible or immeasurable business theory.
....despite everyone’s claims of commercial savvy, we still see 2 very different camps of HR job seekers.
The interim contract and consultant market is becoming an increasingly popular route for many senior-level professionals.
HR has an unrivalled view across the organisation and regularly deals with serious and complex issues that have an impact at all levels.
...look at this CV, this person has been working for 30 years, which is longer than I've been alive!
Every HR person tells us that they're strong for relationship building, business alignment and partnering, change & project management, etc.
Because they’re not a part of the permanent team, they have an opportunity to touch on unpopular topics or address difficult issues.
With so much of our lives spent at work, is choosing the right career and work environment a bigger decision than choosing the right partner?
Mental Health Awareness week - cue a plethora of posts across social media channels and company websites showing support and pledging activism within that week.
...job seekers talk of getting lots of love from recruiters when they’re in a hiring process, and getting silence from their agencies or TA specialists otherwise.
We’ve seen an increasing trend for internal TA teams better addressing both “candidate experience” and “employer of choice” branding
Whilst not considered a mental illness, employee burnout should be treated as mental health issue - and should not be allowed to go unchecked.
The interim CV can be a valuable tool in a recruitment process but being part of the 'go to' network of an interim recruiter may be more important.
“if you could find us a tall, slim, blonde woman for some office eye candy that’d be great”.
If you’re not having face to face meetings, not wangling an invite to adhoc discussions and not having those corridor or “water cooler” moments, how do you get noticed?
I’m not a fan of affirmative action for hiring to enable workforce equality, because that form of positive discrimination just creates a different type of inequality and resentment.
It's so ho-hum when you tell me that the company is committed to professional development, diversity, work/life balance
