This is the third edition of the HRExaminer Top 25 HR Influencers List (prior editions here and here). The influencer lists are built with an algorithm that measures the audience size (reach), repeatability (links and tweets to content) and alignment (the way the writer’s content maps against our key word cloud). This list covers the […]
There is nearly uniform agreement that one HR brand is often misunderstood for another.
After a lengthy respite from the rigors of blogging, Jim Hollincheck just published a short piece that demonstrates why he’s the dean of the HR Software Market. Citing Dirk Gently (a “holistic detective” who makes use of “the fundamental interconnectedness of all things” to solve the whole crime, and find the whole person”), Hollincheck makes the case for a results first, process second approach to HR Systems.
Good people are the essence of everything HR is about. Finding, keeping, growing, engaging, training, and recognizing people. We've got some of our own people we'd like to celebrate this week: Bob Corlett, Heather Bussing and Colin W. Kingsbury. Enjoy our Top 100 Influencer profile of Bob, Heather's advice about copyright on the Internet and […]
Next week, we’ll be launching HRxAnalysts at the Spring ERE. As things move in that general direction, various pieces are falling in place. For instance, here’s the company Manifesto: HRxAnalysts is the first company to treat the HR Industry as a mature marketplace teeming with brands and customers. Our job is to quantify the people who work in HR, their needs and ambitions. Simultaneously, we quantify the elements of the brands of the companies that serve those HR workers.
Great talent in the HR and Recruiting universe rarely arrives in a straight line fashion but Bob Corlett is one great example of where it has. None of the stories of the Top 100 to date involve a person who went to school to become a member of the HR Industry. Ironic. Despite being half the cost of everyone else in Executive search, or perhaps because of it, Bob’s firm recently earned the staffing industry’s only award for exceptional client service. Bob Corlett is unafraid of the old or new and firmly invested in getting it right.
The latest chapter in the Dot Jobs saga is being written, and every single "we're right and they're wrong argument" resembles a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. Perhaps the guilty parties could take a page from the internet values that are shaping organization design and culture that Jay Cross champions this week in his article? […]
How long has the debate about the definition of talent community been raging? Here’s a piece from a decade ago that seems to continue to make sense today.
This week, we’re running two pieces from the vaults published exactly 10 years ago. What’s most astonishing is that the issues don’t appear to have changed.
“The people behind the current dot jobs mess are running out of room. You walk by the street fight and wonder how you can ever take responsibility in a world where both sides are so totally and bizarrely wrong. The problem has infected our culture from stem to stern. At the highest levels, politics is a weaponized food fight. At the lowest levels, separating the greedy from the stupid is like picking fly shit out of the pepper.”
