The job transaction is a triad. There is applicant, candidate and employer. During last night’s #TChat Employer Black Holes and the Candidate Experience, it was question #4 that differentiated and clarified things for me: Q4: Should the candidate experience apply to applicants?  When does an applicant become a ‘candidate?’ The answer to that is when you’re [...]

Originally posted by Matt Charney, one of #TChat’s moderators, on MonsterThinking Blog With the way employers and job seekers alike refer to the “black hole” of online job search, you’d think it’s some sort of industry wide conspiracy, given its endemic proportions. The candidate experience, writes #TChat co-host Kevin Grossman, is almost always negative or non-existent, regardless of [...]

My husband, the love of my life, had brain surgery a few weeks ago. The anticipation, wondering if it was benign or cancerous (it was benign), praying that the neurosurgeon would not suddenly get the shakes, being in a hospital away from home and having no family nearby all added up to make this one [...]

It was Q2. In “Employment Rage”, Howard Adamsky wrote, “Corporate America is not human.” If this is so, does culture really matter? My answer: It’s not human, but we are and we drive the culture. Top down, sideways, bottom up. So yes, it does matter. Sure there were many other responses much brighter than mine [...]

Offer professional development opportunities. Professional development doesn’t have to be time-consuming—or expensive. There are many inexpensive or free resources available today to continue the learning process for talented employees. Follow industry blogs, read magazines and whitepapers, and check out the latest books in the field for opportunities to share with your current employees. Be on [...]

It was almost like science fiction. Almost. The fact that last night’s #TChat was about 2011 workplace culture predictions and commentary, and we as pseudo-soothsayers and part-time prophets were locked in a post-economic-apocalyptic vault painting the walls with phosphorescent Twiffiti. Some of which was right on the bottom line, and some of which was, well, not. [...]

Yes, we want to take over the world.  Our monster end-of-year #TChat show about how social, mobile and video as rock stars impact workplace culture and predictions for 2011 was a rousing success. Over 1,500 smarty pants tweets in the hour alone.  A hat tip and a thank you to all of you who did. [...]

I thought it would be useful to our readers to include weekly recommended readings in preparation for #TChat. We will give this format a whirl from now into 2011. Wow, did I just say that? 2010 has been such an interesting year for workplace culture innovation. As you may know, I’m in love with ideas. [...]

I remember way back in the fall of 2009 (yes, it feels that way), both at the HR Technology Conference and Onrec, that the three technology workplace culture rock stars of 2010 were going to be: Social Mobile Video And for the most part, they were.  Not in a mass adoption sense — it’s still [...]
