Six Essential Leadership Skills & How to Develop Them

By |2024-11-18T17:28:00-06:00October 31st, 2024|Blogs, Uncategorized|

By Rebecca Knight, Harvard Business Review, October 18, 2024 The way we work has changed — and so has leadership. “The best leaders of the twentieth century were question answerers, setting the vision and strategy from above,” says Kirstin Lynde, founder of the leadership development firm Catalyze Associates. “But the best leaders in the twenty-first century are question-askers. They seek feedback and new perspectives, and they ask curious questions about themselves, their teams, and their environment.” The pandemic also had a profound and lasting impact on leadership dynamics, notes Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks, a behavioral scientist at [...]

The New Recruitment Challenge: Filtering AI-Crafted Résumés

By |2024-10-08T09:46:19-05:00September 30th, 2024|Blogs, Uncategorized|

By Katherine Bindley, WSJ, September 4, 2024 Technology companies have embraced the efficiencies that artificial intelligence has brought to the hiring process. Now they are dealing with the downside of candidates who leverage it themselves.  Candidates are using generative AI tools to build résumés that are customized to each job for which they are applying. They then can fire off résumés in rapid succession or have bots do so for them. They are also relying on AI to prepare for interviews, which is leading to a sameness among applicants. As a result, tech firms and [...]

The 3 New Rules Of Recruitment In An Age Of AII

By Dave Winsborough, Forbes, August 16, 2024 The rise of Gen AI has increased volatility in a job market already roiled by covid and the great resignation. It is now driving two key trends. The first is that new jobs will become more complex. An Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development report showed that highly skilled jobs increased by 25% over the last 20 years and that before 2030 more than a billion jobs worldwide will be transformed. Second, organizations are shifting to skills-based hiring strategies and relying less on traditional signals of talent, like [...]

Are Superstar Employees Worth It?

By |2024-08-03T23:01:26-05:00July 31st, 2024|Blogs, Uncategorized|

By Matthew Call, Wall Street Journal, July 27, 2024 Every leader wants a superstar on the team—the employee who can deliver double or triple the output of an average employee. These workers have the potential to single-handedly change the fortunes of a business. But the promise of big results comes at a price. Business lore is filled with stories of organizations bending over backward to recruit and retain top performers, offering lavish salaries, perks, and privileges. Little wonder, then, that even as bosses are wooing superstars, there is inevitably a question gnawing at them: Is [...]

Landing A Job Is All About Who You Know (Again)

By |2024-06-10T15:55:39-05:00May 31st, 2024|Blogs, Uncategorized|

By Callum Borchers and Lindsay Ellis May 30, 2024 Nine-hundred eighty-three people applied online for a job posted recently by tech recruiter Rob Tansey. The candidate who got the offer wasn’t one of them. Tansey, who scouts potential hires for aviation-software maker Veryon, received a half dozen referrals from a woman he knew from past job searches. One of those six quickly became the front-runner. That’s often how Tansey operates: He estimates that just 40% of successful applicants come in cold through his company’s job portal. “There’s an idealist in me that wants to look [...]

When New Hires Get Paid More…

By |2024-04-01T21:30:46-05:00March 29th, 2024|Blogs, Uncategorized|

By Andrea Derler, Peter Bamberger, Manda Winlaw, and Cuthbert Chow, Harvard Business Review, March 5, 2024 To attract top talent, employers often pay new hires more than they pay existing employees in equivalent roles. This isn’t new. But today, regulatory changes and technological advances have dramatically increased pay transparency in many sectors, making employees more aware of these pay disparities. Moreover, data from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce indicates that the workforce is expected to shrink in 2024, while a global survey of more than 30,000 employees found that salaries are expected to increase by an [...]
