Claudia’s Wednesday Wisdom

'If time is the constraint, how can you analyze a candidate’s level of commitment? I work mostly on corporate-to-corporate contract positions (temporary placements), and I need to submit the resume to the preferred vendor or client within a couple of hours of the requisition opening. How can I avoid vanishing candidates?'

...Roadshow!

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: If you had $8,000 or $10,000 a year to spend on yourself or a team member for  recruiter training what would you do with the money? AIRS training; assorted workshops and webinars? Bring a trainer in from out of town? Hire a trainer? One-on-one coaching? What?

How would you measure the return on your investment? How would you make a one-size-fits-all approach to recruiting fit into your world, your industry, your organization, your daily routine?

Hmmm...

On a privatized corporate dystopia...  -  view/add comments

Quote for the Day: Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

"All media will consist of some form of advertising–print, audio, video–with some actually beamed directly into our brains. The theme song to every TV show will be a product jingle. Newscasters will segue straight from war reports into soft-drink pitches without batting an eye.

To the powers that be, a citizen will be no more than a potential receptacle of consumption, only as valuable as his or her electronically catalogued personal wealth. All transactions will be conducted instantaneously by retinal scan, and credit fraud will be a crime worse than murder."

Trent Schlictmann, The Onion

Quote for the Day: Monday, February 11th, 2008

"The next information revolution is well under way. But it is not happening where information scientists, information executives, and the information industry in general are looking for it. It is not a revolution in technology, machinery, techniques, software, or speed. It is a revolution in CONCEPTS. "
