Mobility is very important. Which is why I do yoga, even though I think it’s kind of boring. I would much rather play a rousing game of one-on-one basketball with my husband (even though he thoroughly trounces me every single game — I blame the height difference). Take care of your mobility or you’ll miss out on all kinds of fun! Such as: dancing like a crazy person, scaling the shelves at your local grocery …

We’ve been talking a lot about staying relevant on the blog lately. Because, when it comes to social recruiting, staying up to date on all the latest trends in media and technology is crucial to being successful. Right now nothing is more relevant than mobile. Last year alone saw the use of mobile increase by 103%. More than 2 out of 3 Facebook users log on via mobile, and even more importantly, about 1 in …
Yesterday, Facebook webcast its first shareholder meeting live. This meant that anyone with access to the internet could sit in and observe. Pretty crazy, especially when you think back to 10 years ago, when it was barely possible to stream low-res cartoons. For today’s Link Love, in honor of our ability to watch Facebook do business in action, we thought we’d highlight some cool Facebook news from around the web. This article goes into some detail …
What better way to learn than by studying other successful people? I’ve learned everything I know by immitating comic book characters and Jamie Oliver. Hence my fantastic salad making abilities and wicked crime fighting skills. When it comes to learning new tricks, examples go a long, long way. We’re always paying attention to companies who are super at social recruiting because it’s the best way to take your Facebook recruiting practices to the next level. …
If you want to be popular you need to stay on trend. Personally I find this very difficult to do. I do not enjoy fashion magazines or shopping. I am also quite short, so I often end up in the children’s section of clothing stores. And trust me, nothing says “this chick is not hip” like a pair of velcro sneakers with Dora the Explorer emblazoned on the side. Not only am I not a …
I don’t know about you, but I still get squeamish every time I see someone in their early twenties sporting a neck tattoo. Don’t even get me started about face tattoos. This isn’t because I don’t like body art. I’ve been sporting some (IMHO) pretty lovely tattoos on my right arm for the last 8 years. I think tattoos are gorgeous… well, maybe not all tattoos, but I certainly enjoy the art-form in general. The …
Measure twice post once. Except that you actually have to post more than once in order to effectively grow your employer brand… At least, that’s what most of the Infographics floating around on Pinterest say. Moving on, and far away from that terrible analogy, today’s Link Love is all about metrics. Every employer (and their cat) knows that metrics are super important when it comes to recruiting. Mostly thanks to Monday’s article explaining the importance …
No metric exists that can be applied directly to happiness. Don’t even try! Unless your happiness is causatively related to your success at Facebook recruiting. That’s just basic science. Recruiting is tough, anything that makes it simpler is bound to make you happier. Not just because it means finding more and better candidates, but also because when your recruiting is more efficient, it frees up time for you to focus on other things. Such as …
Good advice is great. It informs, motivates, and generally helps us do things better. Monday’s blog explored advice from the most fundamental source imaginable… Parents! Typically advice from parents is about hygiene, savings, and not riding motorcycles. You know — annoying advice! My parents are no exception, hence my sad lack of motorcycle skills. But they have both been working in HR for over 30 years, so they know a thing or two about recruiting. Which …
This past week, I found myself smack-dab in the middle of the most intense HR/social recruiting conference in the history of the world. I’m calling it Parental HR SmackDown 2013 (#psmack2013) Yup, my parents flew all the way out to Holland, stayed with us in our tiny loft apartment, and (very kindly) answered all of my questions about recruiting. They also ate a lot of cheese, walked the canals, and enjoyed Belgian beers. .. but …
