The Monster 5 For Friday – Works Edition (Volume 11)
Posted by Matt Charney
The headlines this week demonstrated the importance of keeping your emotions at check while at work. Steven Slater’s double-fisted slide into infamy, Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez’ brawl outside the ballpark and Tiger Woods’ slip from world beater to weekend duffer reminded us the career consequences of letting a bad day boil over.
While these stories dominated the mainstream news, here are the 5 “must read” from the world of HR and recruiting you might have missed:
The Monster 5 For Friday (8.7.10-8.13.10)
5. The Cost of A Bad Hire: Butts in Chairs and How To Get Hiring Managers To Avoid Them Vacancies, particularly in mission critical or high visibility positions, can be painful for companies, suggests Dr. John Sullivan on ERE, but dropping standards for speed when hiring isn’t only “reckless recruiting,” but bad for business (and the bottom line).
4. The Cost of A Bad Hire: How To Do Something About It Responding to Sullivan’s post, ERE’s Wendell Williams writes “the obvious question is not whether or not we should do a better job hiring and measuring candidates, but how can we start doing it?” Read this and learn how to start transforming hiring from just-in-time to just right.
3. Is Your Company Building A Talent Community or A Warehouse? Employers need to know how to tell the difference between building a candidate pipeline and building a talent community, suggests Omowale Cassel (hint: it’s all about engagement).
2. What Makes Employees Loyal? Writing on The Recruiter’s Lounge, guest blogger Tina Del Buono examines the crucial role corporate culture plays in determining employee loyalty and retention from the perspective of a non-HR practitioner.
1. Hey, You With The Flashy Career Site Great looking career sites are meaningless without the tools to track and measure performance, writes Hire Strategies’ Peter Gold.
