So things have been busy here at Bearing Fruit Consulting this week. Our current work involves helping our clients implement a new ATS (despise that term) and utilize it as a TRMS (Talent Relationship Management System), engineer a more effective and productive recruiting process, build an ongoing sustainable internal recruiter training program, find great Director of Talent Acquisition talent and train recruiters through our multitude of recruiter training modules. Those are but a few of the things we have been doing just this week.
There is much going on in the recruiting, HR, business and leadership blogosphere as well. In addition to the things you read here this week we offer up these other great reads in today's Friday Frenzy!
- The Cheez asks what's the ladders really worth?
- Eric Boehme says don't take job descriptions too seriously. He takes a rather humorous shot at traditional job descriptions and gives some advice on what a candidate should ask a recruiter about the job. He is correct about job descriptions and he offers essentially basic advice. However, the savvy and intelligent candidate asks what they actually have to do and what results they must achieve using the Utopian list of skills, education, knowledge and experience most companies list on their job descriptions.
- Seth Godin tells real estate agents to quit now. Well, not entirely. I think the same argument can be made for recruiters. Well, not entirely.
- Are people getting tired of the notion of work/life balance? That is what they are asking over on Slow Leadership. Very interesting read for those of you who feel that the plate spinning is getting more and more demanding.
- Willy Franzen of One Day One Job fame has now fired up One Day One Internship. I think this is a very cool concept and an awesome site. Direct from the site:
One Day, One Internship is the insider’s guide to unique and exciting internship opportunities for college students. Immerse yourself in our employer profiles and discover how you can become a smarter internship searcher.
And that is it for this weeks edition of Friday Frenzy. Let us know what you think and have an awesome weekend!
