Summertime
Recruiting
By:

Recruiting
is an exercise in adapting to changing circumstances
from season-to-season. Summer is when recruiters typically
prepare for the hiring upswing in the fall and track
candidates through summertime activities. However,
this summer is not typical, and current circumstances
raise serious questions about our industry and its
prospects. To get some perspective on current events,
I decided to ask Ed Lawrence, an experienced recruiter
and colleague, about his views on the current state
of the recruitment industry.
RW:
What is the state of recruiting today?
Ed:
Recruiting is and always has been a difficult profession,
perhaps with the exception of the dot-com bubble.
While the bubble did a lot to support our families,
the truth is, the positions we filled two years ago
are now vacant again. First, many no longer exist,
and second, those high performance individuals we
recruited have been identified, courted and wooed
away by our equally savvy peers.

Stress
in the Workplace: What's Eating Your Company?
By: Recruiters World Special
Reports |
|
In today's
human-capital workplace, stress can be a company's greatest
asset or worst liability. The right amount of stress can
drive your staff to achieve at high levels. Excessive stress
can hurt morale, slow productivity, and lead to a variety
of maladies, from chronic absenteeism to workplace violence.
In this article, we talk to Barbara Parton, a business consultant
who specializes in increasing the value of a company's human
capital, to learn more about workplace stress and find out
what your company can do to manage it.
Stress is "not
a bad thing, but a necessary thing," according to Parton.
Like a stringed instrument, people need a certain amount
of tension in order to perform. Too little stress, and the
instrument won't produce the right sound. Too much stress,
and the string snaps. Companies need stress to drive production,
however, stress can easily escalate, and left unchecked,
can have a negative effect on a company's bottom line.
