HRExaminer v.4.07

Maren Hogan joins The HRExaminer Editorial Advisory Board this week with her post Recruiting Sizzle: “…some of the fundamental concepts of work, and how people view it, are changing (for the better IMHO) and that is having a profound effect on how people work, why they work, and therefore, how you can recruit them.” Enjoy this and new posts from Heather Bussing and John Sumser on Social Media, the Health Care Shuffle and more.
 

Five Links: Paranoia Edition

This week, it’s tracking and targeting. The social in social media means hunting and acquiring to some. It means reasonable paranoia to others.
 

Social Media, Blogging, and Copyright

The first thing to understand is the law is way behind reality. Almost all intellectual property law is based on the idea that there is something tangible that you can own and attach ownership rights to—like a book, or a poem, or a painting.
 

Recruiting Sizzle

“If marketing has a counterpart in the talent management world, it’s certainly in recruiting. The two practices are more aligned than most would care to admit and attraction is at the heart of both.” – Maren Hogan
 

Work and Time

For most jobs, the work is about creating something, fixing something, or managing something. While all those things take time and energy, none is about spending the time itself.
 

The Health Care Shuffle

Topics: HR Trends, HRExaminer, John Sumser, by John Sumser
The employers who recognize this short term windfall will end up paying for their employees healthcare in the long haul. Workers who get saddled with new bills seem to always want raises.

HRExaminer v.4.06

The original notions of how to execute social recruiting bear rethinking. It’s not that Social Recruiting is dead. Its that we haven’t figured out a way to deliver it to the uninitiated (includes John Sumser’s recent presentation on this topic).

Also this week: Kelly Cartwright has Advancing the Gender Agenda: Three Reasons Companies Should Mean Business, Heather Bussing asks some Social Recruiting Questions and John Sumser has Mobile is Free and Five Links: Talent and The Net. Have a great weekend.
 

Five Links: Talent and The Net

This week: hiring great engineers, an internet for manufacturing, internet 2012 in numbers, state of talent managers report, and meetAlex
 

Mobile is Free

Today’s mobile recruiting advocates get their panties in a bunch over the idea of ‘mobile apply’. For the initiated, that’s code for the fact that you can’t actually apply for a job on your phone yet (in most cases). An army of competing entrepreneurs are hot on that task.
