    Graphologist Screening: Handwriting reveals what interviews conceal

    Handwriting analysis (graphology) is being increasingly used for pre-employment screening of job applicants and for other purposes such as by the FBI and the jury selection process. Graphology has been standard practice in Europe (particularly France and Germany) for over 30 years and is gaining momentum in the US among HR managers and executive recruiters. About 20% of the Fortune 500 companies are reported to use this tool.

    5 Mobile Myths: Address them or be left behind.

    Smartphones have become a way of life and are outselling PCs, but adoption of mobile in talent recruitment is not nearly as widespread. According to a recent CareerBuilder trends in mobile adoption study, only 20 percent of Fortune 500 companies have a mobile-optimized career site. The numbers are even worse when it comes to the health care industry, as only 11.6 percent of hospitals and 5.6 percent of assisted living facilities have mobile-optimized sites. Staffing firms fared slightly better, where 33 percent have mobile-optimized career sites. The finding underscores the opportunity employers have to engage more mobile candidates at a faster rate than their competitors – if they work now to create a recruitment strategy that aligns with consumer behavior. The vast majority don’t have mobile-optimized career sites.

    Employer Branding: A good idea, flawed execution.

    As the talent shortage accelerates, HR is under pressure to deliver top-quality talent. And in recent years, a strong employer branding program is seen as mission-critical for global companies on the hunt for talent. HR took a cue from marketing and applied branding principles to burnish their employers’ reputations. Along came dedicated employment microsites, and plenty of day in the life narratives and videos, among dozens of other tactics.

    Contingent Labor Program: Try four C’s for getting the most from it.

    Analysts estimate that today 25% or more of the workforce is contingent labor. This is the “new norm” for the future. Taking advantage of a large contingent labor workforce can have many benefits for companies who understand the risks and rewards. A managed staffing program and managed service provider (MSP) can help your culture, complexity, compliance and costs related to the use of contingent labor. However, many companies lack proper visibility and oversight for this population.
