The best managers realize that they are in the recruiting business, even if they have nothing to with hiring employees. That is because they know that if they want to retain employees, they have to constantly recruit them. Use these tips to help you develop a recruiting mindset:

The goal of the recruiting function is to recruit top talent to your organization. You want a set of questions that will help you avoid those problematic employees who don’t have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to do the job that you are hiring for.
Here are a sample of open-ended questions that you can use for your first interview with the job applicant. These types of questions are designed to determine job fit.

I firmly believe that the success of a corporation is heavily determined by the quality of the people they are able to recruit and retain. I would be interested in knowing what companies are using their public blog to promote their employer brand and connect with talented job candidates.
A sample blog used for recruitment is by Heather Leigh, a staffing manager at Microsoft. This type blog allows potential applicants to get to know Heather as a real person, thus enabling for a more lively conversation if any of those readers decide to apply.
Can a blog like the one by Heather Leigh ensure a better fit with your corporate culture? Fewer people are using the traditional help wanted ads to find a job. Instead, when a friend comes across an interesting blog, it will get people talking about it and the company.
So it seems that blogs can be a good tool for tapping the passive job seeker. The passive job seeker is the one not actively looking for a job, but can be persuaded to a better opportunity if one comes along. These types of people can be your “diamond in the rough” that all companies look for.

I just read a very stimulating post by Curt Rosengren about stimulating your mind. He brought alot interesting insight into the subject of sustainability.
If we can only start to think more systemically. What do I mean? Systems are integrated wholes whose properties cannot be reduced to those of smaller parts. Think of the model - “Take, Make, Waste.” All organizations “take” in resources usually from the earth. They process (i.e. make) those resources into a product which is sold to the customer. That product eventually becomes “waste,” finding its way back to the earth, usually in the form of junk that you see on the streets or in landfills. Is it posssible for organizations to recycle it’s own products to eliminate this waste, and use it as resources instead of taking from the earth again.
This is hard to do because it is human nature to think in terms of lines instead of circles. From early childhood we were to break things up into its smaller parts and look at each individual component separately (i.e. analysis) and put it back together again later (i.e. synthesis). To be able to think more systemically will require a shifting focus from the parts to the whole, which implies a shifting from analytical thinking to contextual thinking.

An individual manages a small consulting company (about 15 employees) whose services are a function of the collective intellectual capabilities of employees and shareholders. There is a fair amount of independent work required that is not dependent upon other co-workers though regular assistance from others who have specific expertise is needed to resolve an issue(s) an employee may be working on. There is also regular group brainstorming sessions that are spontaneous but not necessarily frequent.

I am perplexed at the indexing for Yahoo! and what it takes to get indexed in Yahoo. For example, I am optimizing www.productliabilitylawyer.com, and found that there are only 2 pages of this site indexed in Yahoo!. In Google, there are over 1,100 pages indexed.
Many of us here have noticed that our older sites are having problems with Yahoo!, and the newer sites not so much.What seems to be the criteria for ranking in Yahoo!?
