Social Media, recently and over the past few years, has gotten bigger and bigger. With websites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many others, a whole new path of interaction for businesses and their recruiteres has been opened. It gives companies a chance to make new connections with potential passive contacts. Just like with anything, there are many great ways it can be utilized by recruiters, but there are also a number of potholes to look out for if you want to make sure to use social networking in the best way.

This is being driven by the explosion of Web 2.0 technologies and the dis-satisfaction that many corporate HR users have with their “over-sold” current 1.0 talent management solutions.

Staffing MSP Services Kills Need For VMS Firms
Thursday, June 10th, 2010 by Tim Giehll
For awhile now there have been two camps of thought concerning how to best help Corporations improve the management of their contingent workforce spending. At first, there were stand alone VMS (Vendor Management Software/Service) companies that applied technology to this business issue, Over time the large Staffing firms jumped in and through their MSP (Managed Service Provider) offerings and the acquisition of some of the VMS technology companies, they have been able to effectively help their largest corporate clients better manage the flow of contingent spending. Who is right and who is wrong ???
HR Consulting Firms Embrace Human Capital Supply Chains
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 by Tim Giehll
Last week, while attending the Consulting Summit in Chicago ,hosted by Brian Cuthbert and Joe Kornik of Consulting Magazine, I had the opportunity to talk with some of the world’s leading HR and Supply Chain consulting firms. I had the chance to speak with Kathryn Hayley (CEO) from Aon, Rajeev Jain of Hewitt, Maryanne Faschan of HP, Carrie Greenbaum of Alix and Susan Kantor of PRTM. After talking about the revolutionary aspects of Human Capital Supply Chains, all my discussions focused on how Consulting firms should begin to engage with their corporate clients about the benefits of implementing a Human Capital Supply Chain environment. The discussions were lively and it reinforced for me the true transformational nature of a new idea such as Human Capital Supply Chains.

The Art of Returning Gifts
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 by Tim Schram
Can you believe that the holidays are weeks behind us? It’s once again safe to brave the malls to use those gift cards and return those unwanted items that were given to us.
That’s why I received a chuckle and a dose of reality when reading Tim Sackett’s blog on Workforce Management. Tim writes about the “HR gifts” he’d like to return, which include many of the staples, no pun intended, of the corporate world. Many of the practices that have been ingrained in our minds and processes now seem antiquated.
