This morning I published my blog post over at InsideTMT. It is about another observation I made during the Recruiting Innovation Summit that took place on the Facebook campus in Menlo Park this week. Please click through to check it out.
Have you ever participated in a technology selection project for Human Resources? Whether it’s applicant tracking, performance management, core HRIS, or any other variety – it is almost always a horrible experience. There is something about the combination of internal politics and the competition between vendors that always turns it into a f**king goat rodeo. And [...]
If you have been reading this blog at all you will have noticed the HRnold cartoon being used about once a week. It is time I introduce you to the man behind the paint. I have known Will Riggins and his family for more than 10 years. Our families are close enough that I call [...]
I wrote about John Sumser back in December, but that was when there was only one person reading this. Now that I have more than 10, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the topic. When blogging became mainstream popular around 2004, I remember asking myself if I should start one. I [...]

I was not original on the panel, but Mark Stelzner had a schedule conflict and the event sponsor Plateau Systems asked if I could fill in. I am looking forward to joining Kris Dunn and [...]
This October will be HR Executive’s 14th annual HR Technology Conference co-chaired by the one and only Bill Kutik. I have attended twelve of the previous thirteen and my company has sponsored the last eleven. The only time I ever missed this event was due to a death in the family, and there would be [...]
Do you tell your candidates the truth about the on-boarding process? Isn’t On-boarding just a fancy name for New Employee Orientation.
