Grad School, Recruiting, And Other Topics...

Almost Friday!

 

Here are some links for you:

 

-27% of 2009 grads plan to go to graduate school, according to College Recruiter. With the state of the economy, this makes a ton of sense. Most of the time, companies will hire recent college grads for cheap labor, but right now, with so many people unemployed, cheap, skilled labor is fairly abundant so college students need to get a graduate degree to ride out this economic storm and position themselves higher than their peers.

 

-HR World has help with recruiting on Twitter (seems like an ad, but it is something to keep in mind when thinking of where to post jobs)

 

-Fistful of Talent requests no more "Dear Recruiter" e-mails

 

-The HR Capitalist requests no more negotiating

 

-Compensation Force looks at "agility", the new reward watchword (the diagram is worth checking out)

 

-Some boss basics on the futility of gagging employees from Workforce Management's "The Business Of Management"

 

-Some boss basics on the best practices for caregivers in the workplace from HR Web Café

 

-Lastly, some managerial moments of truth from Management Craft
