I just heard a story on NPR ”
If you have been a recruiter for any length of time you know that the industry is evolving at the speed of the internet. When I started recruiting we relied on newspaper ads to push our jobs out to the public and cold called prospects over the telephone to pull them in to interview. We also did a lot of networking… old school networking.
We don't need no "war for talent"

If you have ever read my blog you know that I am no fan of unions. They may have had their place in the past but not in today’s world. I have mentioned in my blogs on EFCA (Employee Free Choice Act) that unions cost a company. Not just in direct costs, but in indirect costs as well. Slowed work process, lessened productivity, poorer employee relations, and more have been cited as the costs associated with unionism.
“ Most people have convictions about what is right and wrong based on religious beliefs, cultural roots, family background, personal experiences, laws, organizational values, professional norms and political habits. These are not the best values to make ethical decisions by — not because they are unimportant, but because they are not universal. In contrast to consensus ethical values - such basics as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship - personal and professional beliefs vary over time, among cultures and among members of the same society.
Introduction
On December 12, 2011, Karen Mattonen posted an article, “Poor mental health harming productivity, with 1 In 5 workers suffering - how are you prepared?”[1] in Conflict Coaching Resources. As one living with, not suffering from, mental illness, the topic piqued my interest enough that I sent in a comment.
In a reply message, Karen asked if I would be willing “to share [my] story on www.ltsglobal.com/hirecentrix/hire as a Viewpoint article next week.” In particular she thinks, “maybe H.R. and recruiters should be more familiar of what they often turn down due to fear,” and that my story will reduce some of that fear.
