- Staffing Strategies: Can You Find, Recruit, and Retain the Talent You Need?

Tips and Stats:
The National Association for Multi-ethnicity In Communications (NAMIC)  announced its line-up for the 20th Annual NAMIC Conference scheduled for September 10-12 at New York's Waldorf-Astoria. Kicking off Cable Diversity Week, the 2006 presentation boasts a roster of more than 80 business leaders.

The Conference Board Help-Wanted Advertising Index -- a key measure of job offerings in major newspapers across America -- declined two points in July. The Index now stands at 32. It was 39 one year ago. The Conference Board, the global business research and membership organization, examines each month help-wanted ads in 51 newspapers and online.  In the last three months, help-wanted advertising declined in eight of the nine U.S. regions. Steepest declines occurred in the West North Central (-21.5%), Middle Atlantic (-15.3%) and Mountain (-14.6%) regions.

Forget about the Economy; Tips on Surviving the Baby-Boomer Retirement Party Fallout
With the first baby boomers turning 60 this year, federal economists are predicting a significant slowing of the economy over the next decade.1 Then there's the burden that millions of retiring boomers places on the generations that follow. Insurers are warning that "those same aging Baby Boomers will need retirement benefits, health care and nursing homes in unprecedented numbers as they age into the high-priced, high-maintenance category."2 It's easy to understand why economists and insurance providers industry are concerned. But for Randi Lesnick, president of the Franklin, TN-based Hospitality Consultants and Nashville‘s "Party Planner to the Stars," there is a far more daunting question to answer when discussing the boomer retirement fallout:  Who's going to throw all these retirement parties?

Real estate agents are actively using free-classified sites like Craigslist and Google Base and are planning to steadily reduce their advertising in newspapers, a new report from Classified Intelligence shows.  More than half the real estate agents (51 percent) who participated in a Classified Intelligence survey said they were advertising on free classified sites. Many said they plan to cut their newspaper advertising because it is no longer necessary.  "Print publications are no help," one Realtor told CI. "The Web provides more information to the customer and less wasted phone calls....It's the only way to go. I think in five years, 95 percent of my advertising will be done on the Internet."

Despite a July rebound worker confidence declined sharply in August, according to a recent survey of 3,188 employed adults in the U.S. The Spherion(R) Employee Confidence Index, a monthly gauge of overall worker confidence, decreased 2.1 points to 55.7 in August. This is the lowest index point recorded since October 2005 when it was 54.1. A significant drop in workers' confidence in the current health of the economy and job market fueled the overall decline. The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive(R) on behalf of Spherion Corporation (NYSE:SFN), shows that nearly half of workers (47 percent) believe the economy is weakening (an increase of three percentage points from July) and 42 percent think that fewer jobs are now available, a four percentage point increase from July.

You Should Know:
Canada:
2nd Annual Summit on the Mature Workforce

Something unprecedented is happening to our workforce: it's aging rapidly.  Almost one-half of North American workers are over 40 and that means that the next two decades will see millions of educated, skilled and experienced workers leaving the workforce, robbing every sector of irreplaceable knowledge and skills. (The Mature Market)


Global:
Projected Talent Spending Drives New Parent of TMP Recruitment Ad Agency
The $45 million acquisition of TMP Worldwide's recruitment advertising operations marks the second such move by purchaser Veronis Suhler Stevenson to tap the projected growth in corporate spending on workforce expansion. Last year, the media-focused private equity and mezzanine capital investment firm made its initial venture into the recruiting sector of the human resources market by securing a financial stake in PreVisor, a provider of online pre-employment testing and assessment solutions. (Inside Recruiting)

India:
Offshoring Is Here To Stay
Offshoring of information technology is `not an isolated trend but part of a bigger shift towards the globalisation of business processes.' Thus writes Mohan Babu K in Offshoring IT Services, from Tata McGraw-Hill (www.tatamcgrawhill.com) . For starters, offshoring is "a strategy of relocating business processes, services, and work to overseas locations, where it makes most business sense, by capitalising on the global skill pool, advances in communication technologies and the benefits of cost arbitrage." IT offshoring has seen many trends, from the pure sourcing model to the global one. (The Hindu)

US:
Report: Intel May Cut Up to 10 Percent of Workforce
Intel Corp. (INTC), the world's biggest microchip maker, may cut up to 10 percent of its work force as early as next Tuesday, a technology news site said on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the plans.  Earlier this month, the company wrapped up a 3-month review of its operations aimed at saving it $1 billion a year and making it more competitive with rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD).  Analysts have said the Santa Clara, California-based firm is almost certainly preparing to slash its 100,000-strong work force, and the size and timing of the cuts have been a topic of heated speculation in recent weeks.(Fox)

The Lowdown on the Slowdown
Hiring was tepid in August, bringing average job creation in the private sector to 102,000 jobs a month since April. That is nowhere near the level of labor demand that's needed to give employees the clout to bargain for raises. Accordingly, hourly wages weakened in August, up only one-tenth of a percent, all of which is most likely to be eaten up by inflation. (In 26 of the last 28 months, annual hourly wage growth has failed to outpace inflation.)  (NYT)

The Odd Recovery: Unemployment Is Low and So Is Employment
NEARLY five years after the end of the 2001 recession in the United States, this recovery can be painted using employment statistics as the worst — or one of the best — of the aftermaths of the 10 post-World War II recessions.  The low unemployment rate has come about despite a slow rate of job creation. At this point after the previous nine recessions, there were an average of 11.9 percent more jobs in the economy than there had been at the end of the recession. (NYT)

Political Candidates Embrace MySpace
"The best recommendation we can get is word of mouth, from one friend or family member to another," said Isaac Baker, spokesman for Ohio Democrat Ted Strickland, whose gubernatorial campaign has profiles on MySpace, Facebook and Friendster. Phil Angelides, California's Democratic candidate for governor, had nothing to do with creating a MySpace page under his name. His teenage daughter was the first to point out his presence on the popular online hangout. But rather than kill a volunteer's unauthorized efforts, the campaign has embraced the youth-heavy site, using Angelides' personal profile page to post position papers and other announcements. It also scans the comments section to gauge what's on youths' minds, turning it into an informal focus group. (CIO

Most U.S. staffing stocks rise after jobs report
Shares of most U.S. staffing companies rose on Friday after a less than expected moderation in job growth in August, reflecting still steady demand, industry executives and analysts said. The U.S. Labor Department's report that employers added 128,000 jobs outside the farm sector in August, compared with the median economists' forecast for 120,000 new jobs. "Job growth remains positive and widespread and we continue to see steady demand across the country for talent on both a permanent and contingent basis," Spherion Chief Executive Roy Krause said.
