Recruitment and selection: Improving the candidate experience
For most hiring managers, the recruitment and selection process is overwhelming. This is especially true right now when the job market is tight and finding people for your team (nevermind the right ones!) can seem like a tall order. It takes precious time to advertise, coordinate, interview, offer, and onboard, which can make hiring managers…

Read MoreGive Change a Chance
Even people you know well, people you may have worked with for years, can throw you a curveball. Maybe you’re both faced with an unfamiliar situation or the general circumstances change. You might be surprised by how the other person reacts (and by your own response). This happened recently with my dog, Grace, and it…
Read MoreThe Power of Job Fit
Recently, my husband and I decided that the windows in our home really needed a washing. We have done it before, but neither of us particularly enjoyed it, nor did we do a very good job. In the past, we researched the best methods (including homemade formulas, newspapers, and lint free cloths) and spent a…

So…
Read MoreAre you in the right job?
Look for signs of job-fit, then do something about it! I have been in the wrong job before. So I completely understand the signs and signals — and the reasons why it happens.
