Michael Beck, The Insurance & Advisor Coach (www.TheInsuranceCoach.com), has released a controversial white paper asserting that recruiting independent agents and advisors via the internet is a futile and misdirected effort. The majority of recruiters continue to rely on the internet as their primary source of candidates despite the fact that over two-thirds of these recruiters fail to meet their recruiting growth goals. Executive Coach Michael Beck offers a unique insight into why internet recruiting strategies fail.

Beware of unintended consequences, WorldatWork warned in a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed on Monday, Oct. 23. WorldatWork responded to a request for comment from the SEC on a proposed amendment that would require the disclosure of compensation for three additional non-executive most highly compensated employees. Speaking on behalf of its members, WorldatWork takes exception to the proposal for two primary reasons:
1. The new disclosures will cause unintended consequences for companies competing to attract, motivate and retain employees — including a potential further ratcheting up of compensation levels, and
2. The burden – as much as $38 million per year over the three-year period – imposed by the new disclosures does not seem to add commensurate and meaningful shareholder and investor informational value.

You Should Know:

Global:
Digging Through Candidates' Digital Dirt
The results of a recent Careerbuilder.com survey of 1,150 hiring managers in the United States show that 12% of hiring managers have used social networking sites to dig into the backgrounds of potential employees. Another 26% of hiring managers say they have used Google or other search engines as background research. Of the hiring managers who Googled candidates' backgrounds, 51% did not hire the person based on what they found. (ERE)

Net Postings Can Damage Your Career
A survey conducted by CareerBuilder dot com found that 1 in 4 hiring managers say they have used the internet to screen candidates applying for jobs. 1 in 10 say they have used social networking sites in researching potential hires. 51% of the time, the applicant did not get the job based on an internet investigation and when social networking sites were accessed, it cost the applicant the job 63% of the time.

Demographic youth bulge requires education, jobs
ALIENATED unemployed youth are a concern everywhere. They pose a particular challenge in the developing world, where a demographic bulge equal to the great "baby boom" that occurred in the West at the end of World War II is growing. But the post-war era in the world's most developed countries was one of unprecedented prosperity for the baby boom generation, which is now nearing retirement. Will the future be as promising for the developing world's billion-plus young people between the ages of 12 and 24? (Shanghai Daily)

Create A .htaccess File Without Referral Spam
At present, there is a growing nuisance for users and administrators alike of sites that ruin web servers and more particularly, blogs. This nuisance is being referred to as comment, trackback and referrer spams. Various solutions have been proposed with some being applicable to even two of these forms of spam using a single solution. What is Referral Spam? A referrer request-header file allows the client to specify the address (URI) of the resource from which the requestURI was obtained. It is a way for an HTTP client to send in the headers, the URI of the page that sent them there. This is especially handy for a site administrator to provide insight as to where the traffic on his web server is coming from. It is also depended upon by the most popular web server log analyzers in providing statistics on the most common referrers. (Content)

India:
Indian outsourcing

The main trade body representing software services companies in India will hold entry-level tests to gauge the abilities of people seeking jobs outsourced by U.S. and other overseas companies. The move aims to tap new talent and cut the time and expense of recruiting new hires to India's outsourcing industry, a key engine of the country's fast-growing economy. Candidates who pass will be regarded as having the basic skills to work in the outsourcing industry, even though the qualification would not guarantee employment, said Deepakshi Jha, a spokeswoman of the National Association of Software and Services Companies.

Japan:
Japan's population declines for first time in post-war period

Japan's population declined in 2005 for the first time in the post-war period after reaching a peak the previous year, according to figures from a national census. Noting that the ratio of unmarried people to the entire population has been increasing, contributing to a decline in the birthrate, officials said the results of the latest census clearly illustrate a downward trend in the nation's population. The Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry on Tuesday announced the final results of the national census that was conducted in October last year. Japan's population came to approximately 127,767,994 in October last year, down 22,000 from the estimated population the year earlier, according to the results. Japan, which was the ninth most populated country in the world, has slipped to 10th place. (JapanInfo)

US:
Productivity Growth Stalls, Labor Costs Rise

Productivity was unchanged during the third quarter of 2006, according to a report by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bureau also reported revised productivity data for the second quarter. The bureau said productivity grew at an annual rate of 1.2 percent in the second quarter, down from 1.6 percent in an initial estimate. In the third quarter, output grew at an annual rate of 1.6 percent. Hours also increased 1.6 percent, reflecting 0.8-percent gains in both employment and average weekly hours at work. (HR.BLR)

Upward revision in U.S. workforce the biggest ever
The report on job growth in October, due Friday, will be the last headline on the economy before the midterm elections. A surprise number, markedly different from the consensus guess of about 120,000 new jobs, likely will figure in last-minute stump speeches by candidates and prompt a customary knee-jerk reaction in financial markets. But short of a bombshell, such as zero job growth or 400,000 new jobs, your financial planning will be better off if you contemplate, instead, a remarkable job number released a month ago. In its jobs report for September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the biggest-ever upward revision of its annual benchmark for the number of Americans holding non-farm payroll jobs. (Chicago Tribune)

Government Workers Very Well-Paid: Report
Growing evidence shows government employees are highly compensated as compared with their counterparts on private payrolls. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2005 median weekly earnings for full-time government workers averaged $758, compared to $625 for those in the private sector. Those figures are from the Current Population Survey. Another view can be seen in the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Compensation Survey, which reports that in the first quarter of 2006 the cost of compensation per hour worked for state and local government employees averaged $36.97 compared to $25.09 for private industry workers. (Heartland)

GetTheJob.com Cuts Through The Job Search Baloney
I know that our emphasis here is on work at home business, but many people would just love to find a real telecommuting job. I firmly believe that this new job search website GetTheJob.comwill ultimately help telecommuters find the ideal work from home job just as it helps ordinary job seekers stop wasting their time responding to job listings from headhunters, third party recruiters, and worst of all, those "work at home scams".GetTheJob.com's technology searches job listings from companies nationwide so there's no question that these are REAL JOBS. As someone who is a career development professional, this is a service I plan to use frequently. While I like Craigslist, unless you're at one of their sites that charges for job postings, you're going to get lots of scams daily. I try to alert Craigslist when I have a chance, but I can only do so many unpaid jobs - you know? (Work at Home)

Q&A: Employers on juggling multiple generations
Generational differences in the work force are more obvious today than in almost any other time in history. Four generations — Generation Y, Generation X, baby boomers and the mature-traditional workers — are working side-by-side and challenging the way business operates, local human resources managers said during a recent panel discussion sponsored by employment services firm Manpower Inc. The generations have been influenced by different cultural, political and technological issues, the experts said. (DesMoines Register)

HR: Slackers at a glance
There are people at every workplace who seem to get sick most often on Mondays and Fridays. There are usually disputes of some kind about who gets the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas week off. Managers struggle with the long-term question of what kind of manpower will they have six months from now. Magnatag Visible Systems has just released a solution that is elegant in its simplicity. Magnatag is a maker of industrial organizational tools, and has devised an at-a-glance magnetic whiteboard system for charting vacations, sick days, and all forms of absenteeism. With such an easy view, "the slackers are exposed," as one user put it. (TheManufacturer)

The Five Biggest Mistakes an HR Professional Can Make
A number of years back I was in a meeting with two HR representatives at my company. They were explaining to me how the HR organization wanted to be more "strategic" with its clients and how they wanted to help us with annual resource planning. At the time, our biggest problem was filling open positions with qualified candidates; a number of key positions had been open for months with no qualified candidates in the hiring pipeline. When I asked the HR reps about how they were going to help with this problem, they both told me that they didn't have time to address the hiring issues because they were tasked with being more "strategic". Needless to say, the meeting went downhill in a hurry because the HR reps were more interested in fulfilling the HR organization's "be strategic" mandate than they were in helping me with my real-life problem.(BuildYourOwnBusiness)

Deep Release:
Fieldglass Publishes Workforce Globalization Trends 2006 Report

Leading provider of software for Contingent Workforce Management and Services Procurement explores risks and benefits of workforce globalization

Fieldglass, Inc., a leading provider of contingent workforce management and services procurement software, today published "Workforce Globalization Trends 2006." This new report, authored by Fieldglass CEO Jai Shekhawat, explores the implications of true workforce globalization, including the risks and benefits for companies who implement strategies to leverage multiple sources of talent in geographically diverse locations.

"True globalization can help large companies achieve numerous benefits, including reduced cost of labor, increased revenue, enhanced product and service innovation and improved product and service quality," said Shekhawat. "However, most companies struggle to achieve the full benefits of globalization."

The necessary components for successful workforce globalization include an enlightened understanding of global workforce dynamics, a unified workforce management platform that provides a consolidated view of the various resources available across multiple geographies and the ability to navigate complex cultural nuances of individual locales.

In "Workforce Globalization Trends 2006," Mr. Shekhawat defines the recent history of globalization trends and offers a framework for evaluating the multiple opportunities created by the latest trend in globalization – globalization of the workforce. Topics covered in the report include:

• The Recent History of Globalization
