March 09, 2019 14:15 - 50 minutes - 53.7 MB

People analytics is consistently one of the top 2 trends in HR today (the other being candidate experience), but despite the fact that more than 70% of CEOs identify human capital as a key source of competitive advantage (IBM), only 5% invest in big data (TATA).

Is HR on the Fast Track to Irrelevance?

May 26, 2018 14:31 - 29 minutes - 40 MB

Is HR on the fast track to irrelevance or what will it take for HR to finally get a “seat at the table?” Those are just a few of the critical questions discussed in this episode of Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization. My guest is Ed Krow, partner and co-founder of TurboExecs and 25 year “veteran” of HR.

This podcast is the second in a 2-part series. You can listen to the 1st podcast here. For decades, posting a job opening was a relatively simple task.

Simple SEM and SEO Hacks for Recruiters in 2018

March 17, 2018 15:44 - 7 minutes - 9.91 MB

Google receives 300 million job-related search requests each month, which makes up nearly 30 percent of all Google searches. Unfortunately, for many organizations, there's often a significant disconnect between how job seekers search for opportunities and how recruiters post jobs. Consequently, it's all too easy for a job posting to evaporate into cyberspace and become an invisible blip in a sea of information, even with seven out of every 10 (or more) job searches starting online. Using S...

How to Use Video to Attract and Engage Top Talent with Guest Lou Bortone

December 15, 2017 14:22 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MB

Recruiting top talent in 2018 - from the production floor to the C-Suite - will be more competitive than ever. To reach and engage qualified candidates, organizations must stand out. And no matter how creative the text-based job posting, text is still text and it pales in comparison to the power of video. For example, video is watched and shared 1200% more than text and images. The impact of video in search engine rankings is 50X greater than text and video. How can recruiters and HR take ad...

Millennials: Bad Attitudes or Low Emotional Intelligence?

April 15, 2017 20:46 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MB

Sociology professor Tony Campolo said, “I am convinced we don’t live in a generation of bad kids. We live in a generation of kids who know too much too soon.” From an intellectual perspective, Millennials today have been exposed to so much more than Gen X and Baby Boomers at the same age. They’ve consumed information on everything from cyberspace to sexual techniques before they graduate from middle school. Everything is coming at them sooner.[1] On the other hand, many believe that emot...

It’s Not a Misprint: Millennials on the Same Page as Baby Boomers

February 14, 2017 19:53 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MB

A Baby Boomer walks into a room and finds 3 smart, hard-working Millennials sitting at a table. That’s it. There is no joke. Sparks didn’t fly. Attitudes didn’t clash. The Millennials didn’t ask to be CEO tomorrow. Ironically, these 3 twenty-something start-up entrepreneurs “hired” Baby Boomer Jon Carson, more than 3 ½ decades older and 2 generations removed, to be CollegeVine’s first chief executive officer.   Scenes like this - Baby Boomers and Millennials getting along - happen every ...

What's the Purpose of Business if It Isn't Money?

December 27, 2016 17:28 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MB

Purpose, vision, and mission often get bantered about in board rooms as if the words held magical powers.  They don't. It's the passion and action behind those words that matter. During this podcast, my friend and colleague John Dame didn’t waste any time tackling one of the biggest concerns we hear from executives and small business owners when we ask “what is the purpose of your business.”  The reaction we get suggests we are asking some sort of trick question like who's buried in Grant'...

"Code Red" for Talent Management?

August 28, 2016 19:47 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

Talent management is in a “state of confusion.” Those were the words of Mike Haberman, a long term friend and colleague of mine. I respect Mike a lot and scheduled him for a very long overdue interview. One reason organizations struggle to attract and retain talent is that no one seems to be able to agree on the definition of talent. And if you can't identify it, how can you manage it? During this brief interview we covered a lot of territory from the current state of talent management t...

May 15, 2016 02:46 - 8 minutes - 8.23 MB

Truth be told, the cost of a bad hire induces widespread collateral damage — like spending $100 bills to earn pennies. When you consider that a toxic employee has a negative impact on both coworkers and customers, the costs skyrocket. According to a recent Cornerstone report, bad hires make their teammates 54 percent more likely to quit and can cost organizations up to three times more in hiring fees. Instead of leading, managing and delivering excellent customer service, bad hires force man...
