Four Great Resources for HR and Recruiting Professionals

by Lance Haun on June 30, 2008

RecruitingBlogs.com – With almost 10,000 members, it has been [...]

Generation Envy

by Lance Haun on June 25, 2008

How petulant Generation Y haters can be worse than the “Gen Y is Better” crowd.
It is a sunny day and I am inside. While I long for the outdoors, I am reminded that the flexibility to let me go outside and play is embedded in my GDNA (that’s short for Generational DNA).  Ah, the life [...]

Supervisors Need All of the Help They Can Get

by Lance Haun on June 23, 2008

I know you may be tired of me hawking this supervisor handbook software from Gradience but you have to understand: this software seriously saved me about a weeks worth of time (40 hours) working on something that I absolutely loath. The problem is, I can put it off more and more but that only creates [...]

What do you call a buncha HR nerds in one place?

by Lance Haun on June 23, 2008

If you are interested in following the SHRM conference, check out PunkRockHR (on Twitter as well) and Cheezhead. It is almost as good as being there.
Strike that, nothing is better than being there but it is going to be as close as you will be if you are in the office like me.

Going to the Portland Recruiting Roadshow?

by Lance Haun on June 19, 2008

Sorry, I was channeling Steve Jobs there.
HRMToday.com, a new blog specifically aimed at Human Resources professionals, launches today. And since I really suck at doing press type releases, I’ll just go ahead and do this on the fly.
“But hey [...]

VP Making Less Than Subordinate?

by Lance Haun on June 16, 2008

It happens. Or so says the mailbag:
I have a situation discovered inadvertently through my boss. I am a VP within the company. An individual was offered to move from another city out to our location to help replace and lend expertise due to several exiting reps. This individual was assigned to my [...]

Your Blog Sucks

by Lance Haun on June 11, 2008

I hate to break it to you but your blog sucks. In other words, the reason you aren’t getting readers is because I know the answers and you do not. Even the most popular blogs on the internet aren’t getting it done because they suck too. I don’t know what the people who are reading those popular blogs are thinking. Perhaps they are insane.

Two Weeks Notice Gone Wrong

From the mailbag:
In Jan my wife decided that she would take a position in another part of the country and I would be leaving my employer or seeking a transfer to a different location. I sought out advice from the director of sales (exec mgmt) on how to proceed on the local mgmt [...]
