HR Happy Hour 151 - 'The LinkedIn Show'' Nov 30, 2012

Show notes

HR Happy Hour 151 - 'The LinkedIn Show'' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday November, 29, 2012 - 8:00PM EST Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour This week the HR Happy Hour Show is all about LinkedIn - what its continued growth in size and importance means for the HR, Recruiting, and Talent Management space, what challenges and opportunities it presents for the industry, and how it impacts the talent community as well as individual users. Does LinkedIn have the market cornered for professional networking? As it grows and expands, is it in danger of becoming too generic, and open for competitors that are chasing it and nipping at the edges? Do we as HR and Talent pros over-rely on LinkedIn at the expense of other tools and platforms? Will LinkedIn become even more important to the Talent pro in the future - getting into more and more traditional talent managment areas? Joining us this week to help break it all down will be industry legend John Sumser from HRexaminer.com, who recently published a series of excellent articles about LinkedIn, which are required pre-reading for this week's show. It should be a fun show, and I hope you can join us!

HR Happy Hour 150 - 'The 8 Man Rotation NBA Preview' Thursday November 8, 2012 - 8:00PM ET Sponsored by Aquire Call in on 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour This week the HR Happy Hour Show is back live - and we are back with my favorite show of the year - the Annual NBA Season Preview brought to you by your friends from The 8 Man Rotation. Not familiar with The 8 Man Rotation? The 8 Man Rotation are your pals in the HR/Talent/Recruiting world that are just a little too obsessed with sports, pop culture, and trying to convince you that you can understand work, talent, HR, and the world in general by seeing things through the lens of sports, movies, hip-hop, and comic books. This week on the show some or all of The 8 Man Rotation - Kris Dunn, Tim Sackett, Lance Haun, Matt 'akaBruno' Stollak, and Steve Boese will be in the house to talk NBA, and maybe sprinkle in some politics, movies, TV, and music as well.

HR Happy Hour 149 - 'Office Politics' Oct 19, 2012

Show notes

HR Happy Hour 149 - ‘Office Politics’ Sponsored by Aquire Thursday October 16, 2012 - 8:00PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag - #HRHappyHour Have you heard something about pretty important election happening in about 3 weeks? Are you concerned about the results of the election and the potential impact to your business? Is your CEO threatening to fire everyone if his/her preferred candidate does not win? Are your staff getting into little skirmishes over the upcoming election, in a little mini-drama that plays out in the break room? Just want to call in and pitch your candidate or philosophy? I don’t know much about politics, but that never stopped me, (or anyone else), from spouting off from time to time. So this week on the show we thought we’d try our hand at talking politics - its influence on work and the workplace, how the upcoming election is affecting your workplaces, and whether or not work and politics should mix at all. We will also recap the recently concluded HR Technology Conference, HRevolution, and whatever else is on your mind. And be warned, if the politics conversation falls flat - I am prepared to do a complete team-by-team NBA season preview! I hope you can join us and participate in the fun!
