Why Webcam
Interviews Work....
|
The role of talent acquisition is evolving so quickly that relying simply on a paper resume and phone screening before scheduling an in-person interview is no longer considered the most logical path to find new employees. Many companies have adopted live virtual interviews as a part of their process of evaluating job candidates.
Industry experts predict that live virtual interviews will become a standard for all but the final interviews within just a few
short years. An inexpensive webcam plus internet access are required to create a positive and valuable interview experience.
The following primary benefits can be recognized by implementing live virtual interviews:
Save Time and Money
Travel has become increasingly expensive and time-consuming. Live virtual interviews significantly reduce or eliminate the need
for domestic and international travel, and can be typically conducted for less than
$100 per hour.
Reduce Time-to-Hire
Eliminating the wait due to travel schedules and availability of interviewers can be accomplished with live virtual interviews. All interviewers are not required to be in the same room at the same time, easing scheduling and travel stress that build up over multiple interviews. Hiring managers can have the ability to meet with candidates
remotely, finding more time to interview as a result.
Increase Candidate Pool
Interviewing more candidates in this fashion increases an employer's opportunity to make
the right hire for an open position.
Improve Candidate Experience
By not requiring a candidate to be away from home and current employment for multiple days,
the hiring organization shows that they're respectful of the candidate's time and work-life
balance.

If your organization requires Reference Checking for compliance - consider this...
|
Reference checking has often been the weak link in the recruitment chain. Completion rates are usually only around 30%. Add to that some former employers are uncomfortable with the legal ramifications of providing useful information and you get less than stellar results.
But new automated reference checking tools
allow employers to get around these issues.
They turn the reference check into an easy
step in the recruitment process that can also
be a powerful predictor of a new hire’s performance.
Look for one that’s used in conjunction with
a Web-based behavioral assessment to get
the most useful data.

THREE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT “BASICS”
A Company’s Perspective
by Jared A. Jacobson
Whether you are a small, closely-held company
seeking that exceptional talent to complete
your executive structure or a public corporation
that is accountable to executive pay restraints
and shareholder scrutiny, here are some basic
concepts to help guide you through a simple
employment agreement, in no specific order:
ONE: Non-Compete & Restrictive Covenants
Clause – An extremely important provision
in an employment agreement is the non-compete
and restrictive covenants clause(s).
Companies often over- reach when crafting
non-compete clauses which ultimately are
successfully challenged on various fronts
when found to be not reasonably calculated
to protect the interests of the company
while overly restricting the individual’s
inalienable right to pursue his/her trade.
Because these provisions are viewed with
such great scrutiny, a company should:
(i) avoid using a form clause while
attempting to add as much relevant specificity
as possible; and (ii) carefully tailor the
restrictions to address the company’s direct
and foreseeable concerns should the employment
relationship cease. Finally, this should be
negotiated at the inception of the employment
relationship in the employment agreement or
offer letter, rather than in the final moments
during the separation agreement stage.

Executive Temping
an Attractive Staffing Solution
|
Companies are facing a multitude of challenges in today’s market, and many have a shortage of viable solutions for those challenges. However, there’s a hot new trend that’s quickly growing in popularity, one that helps companies meet these challenges. This phenomenon is called “executive temping,” a contract staffing solution that’s gaining momentum with companies spanning
a wide range of industries.
Why is high-level executive temping so popular?
There are many reasons, but they all boil down to one thing: change. These days, it’s the speed with which things change that can wreak havoc on a company’s productivity (and profitability).
Hiring executives on a contract basis is an
excellent way to combat that change in a
pro-active fashion, effectively turning what
could be a potentially negative situation into a positive one.
