A couple of weeks ago we opened a poll @InsideTMT asking the question “Who will be the Leading Talent Management/HCM platform in the next 5 years?” The choices are Oracle/Taleo, SAP/SuccessFactors, Workday, Salesforce.com/Rypple, Cornerstone OnDemand, ADP, and Other. The poll will be open for 30 days and will close on April 15th. The last time [...]
Last week during the ERE Expo, Cornerstone OnDemand announced the general availability of their long awaited recruiting module called Recruiting Cloud.

I just got back from the ERE Expo in San Diego and have a whole bunch of thoughts I need to sift through about the conference. As you would expect there was a heavy emphasis on all things Social and Mobile, but there was one demo I received that was a stand out. A lot [...]
The other day I received an inquiry from a colleague.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post comparing the recruiting process to the TV show The Bachelor. There were repercussions for admitting that I even watch The Bachelor. Now that it’s over I have been told it will take about six months to get my “man card” back. Whether you are a fan of [...]
I received an interesting email yesterday with a link to an Infographic put together by Jobvite. It is an illustration of the changing relationship between workers and employer and indicates the current average worker will have up to 11 jobs in their career. The Infographic was accompanied by a press release and the data was also incorporated into Dan [...]
Yesterday Cornerstone Ondemand, the leading stand alone talent management suite provider, announced the acquisition of Sonar6, a popular performance management application for the middle market.
