Article by Tania Fiero After a year working as a human resources manager, I thought I was ready for a director-level promotion. Or, more accurately, I was worried that continuing to perform tactical HR responsibilities that could be easily outsourced wasn't a sound long-term career plan.

Despite countless technological advances in the recruiting industry, one puzzle piece has remained largely untouched for the last 50 or so years: the interview. The interview is where you land the job or don't, where you get called back or get the call you don't want. Since this part of the process has remained the same for so long, both sides have become complacent, succumbing to the siren call of the ... Source: Recruiter

I was a software developer and continuous integration practitioner for more than 20 years before I unintentionally found myself in the cybersecurity field. This was during the great recession of 2008. I remember even today the date: October 3. That was the day I found out the company where I was working was closing. I had no idea what my next move would be — or should be. I soon found myself interviewing at a security firm, which would later be acquired by Synopsys. The ... Source: Recruiter

Progressive leaders care about promoting trust in the workplace because they understand it will make the organization stronger. Sadly, it isn't easy to cultivate a work environment where employers trust their employees, and, in turn, employees trust the organization. Even if your company was built on a foundation of trust — grown from humble beginnings with an open-door policy that facilitates listening, respect, and shared purpose — things can change quickly. Trust ... Source: Recruiter

If you have a side hustle — whether it's driving for Lyft or writing freelance for online publications — an interview for a new full-time job can raises a couple of important questions. Should you mention your side job to your prospective employer? And, if so, how? Talking about your other work could be to your benefit, especially if the side gig has taught you transferable skills.

A proper onboarding experience is one of the best investments a startup can make to ensure the success of its employees — and, by extension, the success of the organization overall. But there's one critical component of onboarding many startups overlook: the presence of you, the founder. As a company scales, the founder's priorities can shift, and their input on hiring and onboarding may become minimized or muted. However, no matter ... Source: Recruiter
