How Staffing Companies Will Stand Out in 2012
What is the forecast for staffing industry in the year ahead?

The recently-announced 2012 list of The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America proves once again that great companies understand employee engagement — and how to cultivate it — consistently.

21. December 2011
Social media and technology have emerged as some of the most exciting HR topics not only of this year, but pretty much this entire decade. Breaking down these trends, however, means realizing that no matter what tool, these trends all revolve around talent – the talent we have, the talent we want and, perhaps most importantly, the marketing we need to attract top talent.

5. December 2011
The future isn’t coming; it’s here. As advances in social media and emerging technologies like cloud computing, mobile media and online recruiting reshape the fundamentals of human capital management, organizations whose own headcount was negatively impacted by the recession have to start thinking more nimbly. Beyond buzzwords lies the new recruiting reality: talent organizations must do more with less.

28. November 2011
Due to the hierarchical nature of the workplace where an authority figure reigns over others, it is highly likely that status relationships will develop. In other words, someone will have a higher status, creating a subservient role in the relationship. When the grade between authority and non-authority status becomes too high, this can resemble parent-child relationships where the former decides choices for others and the latter has all choices made for them.

9. November 2011
Here at Monster and Military.com, our ultimate goal is to get veterans to work in meaningful jobs that put their hard-earned skills to work in a civilian setting while giving employers access to a pool of largely untapped and highly valuable talent. Our just-released Veterans Talent Index more than supports the notion that veterans bring a unique set of skills and added value to the employers that hire them. Employers we surveyed overwhelmingly agree that hiring veterans just makes good business sense – nearly all (99%) employers who had hired a veteran felt their work experience was about the same or much better than non-veteran workers. Of that, 69% of employer respondents felt that veteran workers perform their job functions ‘much better’ compared to non-veterans.

1. November 2011
While Generation Y is in the midst of booming into the workforce, the job market for millennials is anything but booming. The truth is, there seem to be fewer and fewer jobs available, a matter further complicated by the fact that many members of the emerging workforce have been pigeonholed into stereotypes that aren’t necessary reflective of reality.

One of the topics that has come to the forefront of our industry dialogue and conversation revolves around the emergence of talent communities, and the possibilities they present for employers, brands and job seekers. But while we’ve discussed how talent communities fit into the future of talent, how will they service – and what will they mean – for the talent of the future? Let’s think about what talent communities can do for Generation Z.

6. October 2011
As the Global Director of Talent Acquisition for Monster, I know cooking up an ‘al dente’ candidate experience isn’t always easy. Like so many of my colleagues in this industry, our talent organization is evolving to do more work with less resources, a reality compounded by the fact that our biggest challenge isn’t applicant flow – it’s surfing the resume tsunami to find the proverbial ‘needle in the haystack’ as effectively, and efficiently, as possible. I’m proud to work for an organization that not only talks about candidate experience, but is actively working to improve it. Here’s the dish on how Monster served Mario Batali’s hiring needs while turning up the heat on the candidate experience, and what recruiters and employers can learn from this highly visible, highly successful search.
