CEO’s Letter: Happily Ever After
Happily Ever After
By Elliot H. Clark
Happily ever after is the way most fairy tales end, but real life has a way of making them, well, fairy tales. I had an old friend who used to say that you could tell the difference between a fairy tale and a war story because fairy tales began with “once upon a time” and war stories started “this s#*t really happened.” When it comes to HR and the selection of HR partners, it typically starts as a fairy tale and ends as a war story.

As the temp market continues to grow, it’s time for organizations to put strategy around SOW.
By Bill Hatton

Debunking Discrimination
Three steps to remaining compliant when leveraging video interviewing.
By Chris Young
Digital interviews are being rapidly integrated into HR and recruitment practices. In fact today, video interviewing is quickly becoming the norm in an employer’s interview process with more than two thirds of organizations using live or pre-recorded video technologies, according to an OfficeTeam survey. Many organizations use live video interviews to reduce travel costs and break down the geographical barriers in the latter part of the interview process. Pre-recorded video interviewing allows the sourcing process to become more time efficient. Video offers the ability to provide an authentic look into early-round candidates at the convenience of both the candidate and the recruiter. Despite the cost and time savings benefits that video interviewing offers, with the movement to video comes concerns around Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) compliance.

Hidden Talent Patterns
A new book shares 14 benefits you can gain from analyzing social recognition data.
By Eric Mosley and Derek Irvine
We are in the early stages of a pervasive technological movement grouped under the umbrella term big data. Huge sets of data are examined by powerful analytic tools at unimaginable speeds to generate insights about the past and present, and even to predict the future (a practice called predictive analytics). You already see the effects of this nascent movement: Weather forecasts are more accurate. Marketers detect trends before they are obvious and create products to serve those trends. Retailers stock shelves with just enough products to meet demand. Web pages contain eerily personal advertising.
