HR Happy Hour Episode #121 - 'Social Recruiting Bootcamp Preview' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday October 13, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour Sure social recruiting is not all that new anymore, and you probably think you know all you need to know about it, but truly, are your efforts in the space really paying off? Or perhaps your organization has yet to wade into the fast-moving and kind of confusing social space for recruiting, brand building, and candidate generation. This week on the show we will take a deeper dive into the world of social recruiting with two experts in the worlds of social and recruiting - Ryan Healy from Brazen Careerist, and Susan Strayer from Exaqueo. We will talk some theory, some strategy, some technology - and preview the upcoming Social Recruiting Bootcamp - and event being launched next month by the folks at Brazen Careerist. Social recruiting is always a lively topic and I hope you will join in this week!

HR Happy Hour 120 - 'Moneyball and Talent' Oct 07, 2011

HR Happy Hour Episode 120 - 'Moneyball and Talent' Sponsored by Aquire Presented by The 8 Man Rotation Thursday, October 6, 2011 - 8:00 PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - #HRHappyHour Your pals from the 8 Man Rotation are back talking sports and talent and getting the edge on your competition. You've probably read, seen, or at least heard of the 'Moneyball', the 2003 book by Michael Lewis that documented the innovative approaches for architecting the Oakland A's baseball club in the early 2000's. Simply stated, the A's, led by GM Billy Beane, implemented a highly analytical approach to talent acquisition, strategy, and evaluation that allowed them, (for a time), to acheive success against their much better funded competitors. Can 'Moneyball' correlate and resonate with Talent and HR pros today? What lessons can we take away from the analytical approach to talent? Can we really leverage a 'trade secret' for all that long? Tonight on the show we will kick it around, and maybe even mix in some NBA lockout, baseball playoffs, and WNBA finals chat as well. It should be a fun show and I hope you can join us.

HR Happy Hour Episode 116 - 'The Labor Day Show' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday, September 1, 2011 - 8PM ET / 5PM PT Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour We've spent over two years on the HR Happy Hour Show talking about all kinds of workplace and workforce issues - recruiting, performance management, technology, benefits, communications, and on and on. But the one thing we really have not spent any time on is what work really means to the listeners of the show on a more personal level. For many, work and especially our earliest experiences in the workplace play a significant role in our ensuing career choices, the friends and associates we've met along the way, and for some, even our most important personal relationships. This week on the show, in honor of work and of the upcoming Labor Day holiday, we thought we'd open up the phone lines to talk about our experiences with work and working. What were some of those early jobs you had that you look back on and laugh about, or even continue to draw from later in your career? Was there a particular mentor, boss, or co-worket you'll never forget? What's your dream job? Or have you found your dream job already? This week we want to talk about work, but really, we want you to share your stories of work and working and what it means to you. No guest, just calls, comments and tweets. And oh year, the HR Minion, Shauna Moerke will be back in the co-pilot seat for the night as well! I hope you can join us!

HR Happy Hour 115 - 'The New Employer Branding' Aug 26, 2011

Show notes

HR Happy Hour Episode 115 - 'The New Employer Branding' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the conversation on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour The internet, the rise of social media, the constant connectivity that mobile smart phones and tablets provide have changed and impacted every form of communication and commerce. The ways that companies market goods and services, how they support customers, and certainly how they engage current employees and recruit new ones barely resemble many of the practices and processes from just a few years ago. Consumers expect information in real-time, with multiple delivery mechanisms, and the ability to sometimes participate in the process of production and delivery. And if a brand fails to act responsibly and respond positively to these seismic shifts, well they run the risk of being left behind. In the HR and recuiting space, companies are also increasingly mindful of their public face, the messages and implied promises that their employer brand makes to their communities. What does the company believe? What do they reward? What kinds of people like to work there? What does it mean to be 'one of them'? Employer brand is about all this and even more. This week on the show we will talk about the 'new' employer brand - open, social, and co-created, with Jake Dunlap - VP at Glassdoor.com, the leading site for employer reviews, information, and discussion. What does it mean for organizations? How can they 'win' at this game? What is the role of the employee? Employer brand conversations are always lively - I hope you can join us!
