HR Technology

While you wait

December 28, 2009

Apologies on the delay in moving my blog to WordPress. I could bore you with all the reasons for the delay (work, work, work, bad cold, holiday gatherings, learning the Thesis WordPress theme etc…) but I know you could care less. You just want some new content to chew on. Especially that darn @thehrmaven who [...]

I have attended many many hours of software demos the last couple of months. Some have been great but unfortunately most have been mediocre.

Is HR afraid of Technology?

October 27, 2009

I have had a nagging feeling for awhile that HR people are actually afraid of technology. I thought back on my last year of twitter conversations with my HR tweeps and could not think of any significant evidence of HR people talking about technology.

How do you handle saying no to a LinkedIn recommendation?

September 17, 2009

I posted this tweet recently trying to get some help from my expert tweeps: Here are some of the responses I received: “Ignore it. ” “Just say no!” “I have ignored requests from persons I was less than happy to recommend. Nothing nice to say, say nothing!” “I shan’t do the requested recommendation.” “ignore it [...]

Cloud computing is not in a cloud

September 9, 2009

I have been dismayed recently at all the articles and blog posts I read these days that seem to indicate that we won’t need data centers anymore with Cloud Computing. That somehow Cloud Computing runs, well, in the cloud! Now I know you all are smarter than that. Right? You know that somewhere, someplace way [...]

What I do (Wednesday edition)

August 5, 2009

If you have been hiding under a rock or don’t use Twitter *gasp* then you probably don’t know that Wednesday is “what I do” day. Rather than pointing you to the Bio on my Blog or to my Linkedin page, I thought I might do something a little different. At the end of July I [...]
