Communications Essentials
By: Christine Hirsch

Communications technology has provided recruiters with an arsenal fit for a kingdom. Like a 15th century warrior, we come to the field everyday armed for unpredictable challenges. A candidate spears us with an early morning call, we parry with our caller ID. Quickly countering with an e-mail, we escape to lunch with our secret cell-phone. Later in the day, a client proposes a truce by fax, but we have already allied with the competitor.

Technology helps us fight our daily battles, but it can also help us forge relationships and win business. Building business relationships requires concise communication, a rule that extends to the telephone, voicemail, and e-mail. Technology is a strong ally, however, to get the most out of it, it must be used strategically, with tact and responsibility.

Optimism Abounds: Report from SHRM 2002
By: Recruiters World Special Reports

Optimism reigned supreme at the recent SHRM Annual Conference and Exhibition, held June 23rd through the 26th at the Philadelphia Convention Center. Showcasing the best in Human Resources, SHRM attracted over 10,000 attendees and 8,000 speakers and exhibitors to this largest and most comprehensive of industry events.

The 54th annual convention held by SHRM, the event comes at a time when professionals struggle with difficult issues in the world of work. Corporate scandals, such as Enron and now Worldcom, have eroded employee confidence, leaving HR to restore trust. Privacy issues also loom large. In the wake of September 11th, issues such as e-mail monitoring and background investigations are very prominent, optimized by sessions like E-Privacy in the Technology Workplace and Emotional Ergonomics.
