Reveille and Hyperbole
U.S. Census data show that Latinos are the fastest-growing ethnic group, representing the largest minority in the country. Today, there are approximately 42 million Latinos in the United States, which represents approximately 1 in every 8 residents – by 2008, 1 in every 5 will be Latino. The buying power of Latinos in the United States today stands at more than $800 billion. This will rise to more than $1 trillion by 2008. Dr. Robert Rodriguez, Chairman of the Board for the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement, will answer questions regarding how businesses can best respond to this demographic shift and the growing economic power of Latinos during a one-hour live Web discussion on the Washington Post Web site on Wednesday, April 19, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. EST. Part of Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive's "Viewpoint" discussion series, visitors can participate by simply logging on to www.washingtonpost.com/liveonline and clicking on "Viewpoint."

Jobster, Inc. and Six Apart Ltd., a leader in blogging software and services for individuals and businesses, have launched a program to let bloggers easily add a Jobster search widget to their TypePad site and be a career resource for blog readers. Bloggers can also customize a Jobster jobs feed to provide job listings to readers that tie directly to the blog topic. "Jobster's 200-plus premium employers have found increasingly that the people they want to hire are more likely to be reading a blog on a given day than they are to be visiting a job board," said Jason Goldberg, CEO of Jobster.

The continuing dramatic increase of Hispanic, Asian American, and African American populations, as well as the current surge in hiring is compelling US employers to seriously address the need to develop and maintain diverse workplaces. The recently published The Diversity Recruitment Advertising Toolkit, a 300-page guide containing over 650 national newsletters, magazines, journals, web sites and job boards targeting experienced college-educated African American, Arab American, Asian American, Hispanic, and Native American professionals, is an essential tool for employers strive for success with diversity recruiting.

You Should Know
Canada:
Canada doesn't pay top dollar for key talent, global study finds
Canadian employers are hard-pressed to compete with the big bucks dangled in the United States when it comes to recruiting senior finance, marketing and human resource executives, according to a new global compensation survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. The hottest demand, Mercer said, is for finance directors, who earn top dollar in the United States, where base pay averages an annual $250,000 (U.S.). Canada comes second, paying an average base of $186,440, followed by Britain, at $180,250. When bonuses and other cash incentives are factored in, those figures jump to $324,621 in the United States, $262,711 in Canada and $236,607 in Britain. (Globe and Mail)

Global:
Dawn Of The Idea Czar
When the 'I' in CIO is for innovation, the post should go to a jack-of-all-trades. Billy Edwards' colleagues at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD ) have called him their utility infielder. AMD's human resources chief Kevin Lyman calls him the chipmaker's agent provocateur. Officially, though, Edwards is called AMD's chief innovation officer, a newly created role for this senior vice-president. (BusinessWeek)


The NEW Search Engine Marketing
Don't focus on the wrong search box.  Pundits have called it the Google effect. Your customers and prospects are seeking information about products and services you offer-and they expect that the answer is a search box away. In response, your crack marketing team creates a master plan to ensure that the right information appears to the right customers in response to the right search query. Only one problem: Your team is focused on the wrong search box. (DestinationCRM)


Google Monetizes Popular Map Feature
"Maps are a very popular feature across all search engines," noted Matthew Booth, a search engine analyst for the Kelsey Group. Overlaying a click feature on top of them is a natural extension of this space's ad and search strategies, he said. Google continues to tinker with the concept of monetizing its popular maps feature through advertising. What is new about its latest initiative is that icons for advertisers are embedded in the maps. When clicked, a pop-up ad appears with additional information about the advertiser, including its logo, contact information and other lines of text. (Technology News)


Keeping Up with the Googles
Microsoft's next Windows version may be hung up, but its cool Web services are flowing freely The delay of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Vista operating system until next year makes the software giant look like a dinosaur stuck in the tar, but that's not the whole picture. Its efforts to match the Googles of the world with fast online innovations seem to be paying off. In the five months since Microsoft (MSFT) announced its Windows Live strategy, it has released no fewer than 20 new services that are attracting millions of consumers. (BusinessWeek)


India:
Now, BPOs offer IIM degree to retain talent
It's not all about money, honey! Not anymore. For software engineers and information technology (IT) professionals salary is gradually slipping to No 2 in the wish list, as a definitive career growth and personal development are moving up the priority list. HR managers and industry watchers inform that salaries in the IT space are beginning to stabilise and have ceased to become the primary reason for high attrition rates. (EconomicTimes)





UK:
Skills shortage creates problems for nuclear decommissioning
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority will not succeed unless urgent measures are taken to retain skilled staff and encourage new entrants to the industry, a leading union has warned. Prospect, the union representing workers in the nuclear industry, said the authority's strategy for the clean-up of historic nuclear facilities would fail unless there were enough people with the right qualifications and experience to carry out the job.

US:
Dancing around resume gap

Dear June: I am a private dancer. It pays the bills and for my education. My parents don't have a lot of money and struggle to make ends meet for themselves. I make very good money doing what I do and get good exercise. I have protection and don't have to go the extra mile to make any extra money. The hours are also good. It's not that I'm not proud of my job, but I know that one day I will graduate and be a successful businesswoman. This is not exactly a career or a first-rate profession, but it's what I've done for the past two years. I don't know what to put on my resume, but how do I explain what I've been doing besides taking classes at the university? (Sun Sentinel)


Dell CEO promotes diversity at Bennett conference
Diversity has been a key ingredient in Dell's recipe for success, CEO Kevin Rollins told the third-annual Chief Diversity Officers Forum at Bennett College for Women. The two-day conference promoting diversity in the workplace concluded Thursday afternoon with a keynote address by Bennett President Johnnetta B. Cole. (Triad Business Journal)


Ohio farmers: apples at $5 without low-cost immigrant labor
Against the backdrop of a crowded produce market, Ohio farmers appealed Friday for an immigration law allowing them access to low-cost immigrant labor. The alternative, they said, would be $5 apples and $10 for cauliflower. The prices, admittedly not based on agricultural economics, were meant to alert shoppers at the West Side Market fruit and vegetable stalls to the national debate over immigration and immigrant labor, said Karl Losely, a Lake County nurseryman from Perry.  (Ohio.com)


Accountants Looking for Jobs Can Afford to be Choosy
...Jennifer Tecson, 47, believes she'll find an accounting position that fits into her own requirements: It must be within a five-mile radius of her home in Windermere, Fla.  The confidence of Fieler and Tecson is not misplaced. Both are likely to get what they're looking for. Accountants are a hot commodity. Demand for professionals with solid skills, education and experience, is way up since passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reform legislation in 2002.  Jerry Love, chairman elect of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, said firms everywhere are struggling to find accountants with three to five years of experience. "The common theme is, 'I need more people, and I need more experienced people,'" he told the Austin Business Journal. (AccountingWeb)

Deep Release:
Background Screening in India
As a major outsourcing hub for the global economy, India has to increase the comfort level for the overseas investor and the customers seeking business opportunity here.
Though a relatively new phenomenon in India, background screening is finding increasing acceptance. With multi-national companies setting up shop and increasing foreign direct investment flow, companies are background screening new hires to make informed hiring decisions.


Background screening goes far in helping an employer sieve out misrepresentation of information by an applicant. Early detection eliminates avoidable cost to the hiring entity. Companies are outsourcing the background screening function to agencies like AuthBridge Research Services due to pressures on their staff strength and costs.

Ajay Trehan, founder-director, AuthBridge, agrees that background screening is difficult in India and most Asian countries due to lack of organised public domain databases and reluctance of organisations and institutions to be more forthcoming with relevant information. Since its inception in August 2005, AuthBridge has verified over 5000 cases wherein major percentage of discrepancy has been with professional and educational details.

Most organisations are reluctant to verify details of past employees as the HR departments do not have set processes for background verification. Written verification in most cases is difficult to extract.

The challenge here lies in creating a higher level of awareness about background screening and building strong relationships with various sources of information like universities and employers. Relationship building is an integral part of this business as most universities, colleges and companies are reluctant to part with information quickly.

Standards and procedures for the verification process are continually evolving and accuracy of reports is subject to the availability and willingness of the sources. Quality and consistency of reports and adherence to agreed turn-around-times are AuthBridge hallmarks.

"Our clients are aware that as we are not the source of the data we cannot guarantee the accuracy of information collected beyond its origin. The auditable trail of our verification process is available to reconfirm our sources ", stated Ajay Trehan.
