by Lance Haun on September 2, 2010

Although I won’t be traveling to every show I want to attend, I will be going to some great conferences that are all in my neck of the wood. If you haven’t been to Portland or Seattle before, now may be a great opportunity. And if you’re an out of towner, I’d be more than [...]

Confusion About The War For Talent

by Lance Haun on July 28, 2010

I was at a family reunion this last weekend and we were talking about recruiting issues. They were mentioning that despite unemployment numbers, they still had a hard time finding the right people for the most critical positions that were open.

Making Employees Career Competent

by Lance Haun on July 13, 2010

by Lance Haun on June 22, 2010

Editor’s Note: I work for ERE, the company that publishes TLNT. This isn’t an official press release or anything, just my personal take on the whole shebang. Cool?

Of Course Social Recruiting Tools Matter

by Lance Haun on May 21, 2010

Back from the #socialrecruiting summit and I had a great time. While I may be a bit biased, I think the speaker lineup was fantastic. I saw quite a few tweets during the summit taking about how difficult choosing between two concurrent speakers was. If we make that choice easy on you, we’re probably not [...]

Don’t Incentivize Workplace Safety

by Lance Haun on March 10, 2010

Let’s say you work for one of these companies that has heavy machinery, sharp blades and furnaces. Sounds pretty cool, right? Okay, maybe that’s just me. I love industrial workplaces.
