Opinions, commentary and analysis on workforce management.

COMMENTARY: The Last Word
Hidden Passion
It almost seems as if HR is purposely making it difficult for outsiders to discover the excitement and to learn about the people who make a firm unique, Dr. John Sullivan says.


COMMUNITY CENTER FORUMS | More
Connect with other HR professionals. Ask questions and exchange ideas—peer support is an excellent resource.

Frustrated Job Seekers
- posted in the Recruiting & Staffing Forum
A member writes: "We are a staffing firm located in a geographic area suffering from 7 percent unemployment. Our recruiters are unable to respond to the hundreds of résumés we receive weekly and our standard reply is ‘The recruiter will contact you directly should they have any questions or an opportunity to discuss.’ Job seekers are desperate and their calls are becoming more frequent and confrontational. Has anyone found a recorded job line beneficial in fielding the calls? Please share any methods or procedures you have implemented and found successful."
