Join Me at the IHR Virtual Conference

Monday, September 12th, 2011 by Tim Giehll

I’m presenting Human Capital Supply Chains: Linking Just-In Time Talent to Profits at the Performance Management virtual conference on Tuesday, September 13. The presentation is about more than recruiting software. In fact, it’s about changing the way companies think about human resources.

Too often, we hear about massive layoffs during down times and hiring blitzes during good time. We should ask, “Why didn’t that company’s executives have a better grasp on what the company really needed on a monthly basis?” Or even a weekly basis?

Friday, June 24th, 2011 by Tim Giehll

Blogging for HR professionalsAs you know, I spend a fair amount of time blogging about recruiting software and the talent management industry.  I’m always surprised by the small number of HR professionals who are also blogging.  It’s true, it does take time, but I’ve found that blogging is a great way to get more exposure for our company and products.

2011 SHRM Conference In Las Vegas

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011 by Tim Giehll

2011 SHRM Conference Las VegasWhat do Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Michael J. Fox, and Tim Giehll have in common?

They’ll all be at the 2011 SHRM Conference and Exposition on June 26-29 in Las Vegas. If you’re hesitant to go because of the price, read on. There’s a way to get free passes to the Exposition through Bond Talent.

This conference is, in my mind, more important than ever. It seems as if the May unemployment and economic numbers aren’t going to be good, so (as I’ve said in another blog post) well-trained, well-informed staffers, recruiters, and other human resource professionals are vital links between jobs and those who need them.

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 by Tim Giehll

A while ago, I mentioned to you about how I have a daughter who studies philosophy and literature in college. We’ve discussed multiple different ways her world of arts and my world of business coincide and have even produced a blog from one of those very discussions. Today is another addition to those that I have already shared with you. This day is a day we take some advice from the greatest playwright of our time and apply it to the business world, because what Shakespeare taught us about love and war, he can also teach us about business. Today’s topic: The Taming of the Shrew.

This can be a big problem if it persists and keeps you from moving forward. Many people have their own techniques, habits, and solutions for when the elusive block comes – whether this is a writing block, a thinking block, or a general block of creativity doesn’t matter – because in the end, it all keeps things from getting done. Here are a few suggestions for what you can do when your brain just isn’t agreeing with your goals:
