Reveille and Hyperbole:
Learn.com, the leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity, announced today that International Game Technology (IGT), the global gaming machine manufacturer, with corporate headquarters in Reno, Nevada, has selected the LearnCenter® platform, a workforce productivityTM suite to raise the level of its management tracking capabilities and further promote corporate-wide employee development.

Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS), the leader in talent management solutions, announced the release of SmartSearch Online, Version 10.1. Enhanced screening tools to more quickly and easily find the right candidates, new functions for identifying and resolving potential compliance issues, improved ad-hoc reporting for better access to key metrics and statistics, and streamlined navigation — these are just a few of the exciting reasons why SmartSearch Online continues to set the standard for recruiting software.

HRmarketer.com, the no. 1 marketing and media visibility service in the human resource industry, has reported another record year for sales and membership growth in 2006. The company also reported record sales growth for its recently formed Marketing Services Group, which offers marketing PR and other support to human resource suppliers such as SEO and social media work, media relations, research / white paper development and other lead-generating activities.

China:
HR: Online interviews help graduates get jobs
Attending a face-to-face interview in the cyberworld may help you get a job in reality. Two national employment service websites, www.myjob.edu.cn and www.job100.com, will hold online job fairs from December 22 to 28 and from March 12 to 18, aiming to broaden employment channels for university graduates. (China Daily)

Foreign Internet firms struggle in China
EBay's announcement Wednesday that it will move from stand-alone ownership in China caps three-year slide

EBay's announcement Wednesday that it will move from stand-alone ownership of its eBay EachNet subsidiary and enter into a joint venture with Tom Online capped a three-year slide in eBay popularity in China. When the auction giant bought the 67 percent of Shanghai-based EachNet that it didn't own in 2003, that site held about 90 percent market share. As of Wednesday's sale, it has about 29 percent. Ironically, the company to which eBay lost that lead is Alibaba.com's Taobao auction site. Alibaba was the local entity in a deal that may have set the scene for Wednesday's joint venture. Yahoo paid $1 billion for a 40 percent stake in Alibaba and Alibaba took control and majority ownership of Yahoo's China operations. That August 2005 deal created a new business model: foreign-branded Internet companies run almost entirely without input from the companies that built those global brands. (Infoworld)

China's demand for professionals will fill the business schools
As China's economy continues to grow even faster than predicted, so too does applicant demand for business education, and recruiter demand for a new wave of freshly minted MBA graduates. GDP growth for the first quarter of the year may have hit 10.2 per cent, but the number of Chinese students applying to school looks set to rise even further. International Graduate Management Admission Test volume reported by the Graduate Management Admissions Council shows an increase of 11 per cent, with Chinese registrations showing among the strongest growth. Clearly oil and steel are not the only resources driving economic growth.  (Telegraph)

Global:
Job Sites Poised For 2007 Boom
Recruiting talent with online job boards has been a growing field, and one that has been blamed for the travails of print media's classified revenue stream. In 2007, online boards could grow even more.  The savvy job hunter has been moving steadily to the Internet, and searching a variety of resources; from the listings by human resources types on corporate websites, to well-financed listings sites like CareerBuilder, Monster, and HotJobs, to job listing aggregators operated by SimplyHired and Indeed, all the way through general classifieds efforts like Craigslist, Oodle, Microsoft Live Expo, and Google Base.  Much of the early efforts at finding talent with the Internet has focused on professionals, especially for workers in the myriad fields associated with the technology industry. A fundamental shift in focus could bring even greater success to job boards, at the expense of their print media brethren. (WebProNews)

Online Job Ad Revenues Surpass Print
EMPLOYERS SPENT MORE ON ONLINE recruitment advertising than newspaper job ads--$5.9 billion to $5.4 billion--for the first time in 2006, according to a new study released Tuesday. The online shift will continue over the next five years as Internet job listings hit $10 billion in 2011--or 13.7% of overall recruitment dollars compared to 6.5% for newspaper ads, according to market research firm Borrell Associates Inc. "Our projections through 2011 do not bode well for traditional recipients of recruitment spending," stated the report. "Of all forms, the only ones we see growing share over the next five years are online media and recruitment agencies." (MediaPost)

Managing critical HR Decisions using Business Rules
I have been a long time believer in needing Business Rules Management as an essential component in enterprise HRMS.  I was visiting this large customer of ours last week who are trying to automate some of their HR decisions using QuickRules. This is a large company with 12,000 employees worldwide, and growing. They keep on acquiring new businesses, while also spinning off new companies. They also employ a large number of consultants with a wide variety of salary and wage structures. (Business Decisions)

RE/MAX Partners with Imprev to Provide Marketing Platform to 90,000 Agents
Imprev's design-rich, easy-to-use multimedia marketing platform provides RE/MAX agents the differentiation needed in today's shifting market

The speed at which technology has revolutionized the real estate business during the same period of unprecedented market conditions and historically low interest rates, has resulted in some revolutionary changes in the industry in what seems like the time it takes to text off an offering price. But now, as the market returns to a healthier pace and the real estate industry breathes a collective sigh of relief, some important trends have emerged on the technology front, not the least of which has been a shift at the large brokerage level from building huge, in-house IT staffs to outsourcing technology initiatives to the few companies that have emerged as proven leaders in the space. (RISMedia)

2007 shapes up for retention crunch
The New Year has traditionally been one of the most popular times to move jobs, but with three quarters of U.S workers saying they want a change, 2007 is likely to be even busier than usual More than three quarters of U.S workers are actively looking for new jobs, and this New Year is going to be a prime time for people to hand in their notice and move to a different position, latest research has suggested. A poll of 462 employees and 367 HR professionals by the Society for Human Resource Management and The Wall Street Journal's CareerJournal.com found that more than a tenth of workers – 12 per cent – had resigned voluntarily since the beginning of 2006. And a separate study by recruiter ExecuNet has predicted that, with U.S unemployment at its lowest level in five years, 2007 is going to be a very competitive – and expensive – year for talent.  (Management Issues)

Great creative class debate continues
Larry Littlefield has a new essay entitled, "Labor Scarcity, Business Location and the Creative Class." His focus on talent shortage and concentration hits at a key element of the shift to a creative economy. I agree with lot's of whats he argues. The central theme - that talent is driving urban growth - is at the very core of my own work. The remaining issue then is to explain why talent concentrates some places and not others. There is the classic Lucas-Jacobs human capital externalities effect, and clearly talent attracts talent. I have fashioned adaptive agent models with Robert Axtell of George Mason, Brookings and Santa Fe which show the power of this effect. But it is clear that talent is mobile and that human capital levels have diverged significantly by region according to the research of Berry and Glaeser. My recent paper with Charltotta Mellander, "The Creative Class versus Human Capital" (posted to this sited earlier this week) attempts to parse this out. (CreativeClass)

More 'What the hell is up with Dana Carvey?'
Cruising around the internets today I came across yet another bizarro Dana Carvey video for something that doesn't seem to exist. He seems to be touting a website called Careercomedy.com, and yet there is no such website. Then he mentions jobster.com. (Save SNL)

Video Blogging For The Masses
Dana Carvey has been revived from the dead on behalf of Jobster as he shows recruiting bloggers how to become video bloggers. No need for actors or expensive equipment. Just get some pictures of real people and hold them in front of a webcam while you imitate their voices. (RecruitingBloggers)

Deloitte: Transforming HR can be a vital key to driving value at organizations
Human Resources functions that focus more on the external factors that help create and drive value within organizations, such as mergers and acquisitions, compliance issues, and an unprecedented talent shortage, can have a greater role and impact on the overall performance of the organizations they serve, according to a new point of view from Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte Consulting's "HR That Means Business: Focusing on Value Creation" is a new and provocative perspective that explores how CHROs can employ "next generation HR transformation" principles to help shift focus from internal operations to improving overall company performance and addressing strategic business challenges that will likely define the future of HR, such as: (Consultant News)

Deep Release:
Ideal Interviewing: Executive Search Consultant Shares Secrets to Successful Job Interviews in New Book

Author Harry Drum takes the stress out of job interviews with the simple preparation process outlined in his new book, "Interviewing: It's Your Big Deal!" (now available through AuthorHouse).

"Most job applicants believe that because they can do the job, they can get it," Drum says. "Having the skills to do a job rarely guarantees the opportunity to 'land it.' One has to get through the interview first!"

Traditional methods of preparation suggest that interviewees review company Web sites or prepare answers to a large list of questions. Drum says these methods lead to cliche answers that will bore interviewers and waste their time.

With the step-by-step method outlined in this "one-hour read," busy interviewees will learn to make the most of their preparation and develop creative, innovative ways to get the attention of potential employers to not only get the job, but get the higher salary they deserve.

"Most people get nervous about the all-important job interview," Drum says. "The process laid out in this book gives the candidate a way to plan and manage the interview process. It is a tested method that has a long history of success."

Drum also includes an interactive exercise to aid interviewees' preparation. This fill-in-the-blank worksheet will help readers organize their skills, qualifications and responses before the interview. "After going through the process, candidates feel confident about their capabilities," Drum says. "The feedback I have received is almost always positive. Those who take the trouble to prepare using this method improve their chances of getting hired and usually get a higher starting salary."

Drum has honed his expertise in interview coaching for the past eight years as an executive search consultant and recruiter. Before beginning his career in recruiting, he served as president and CEO of three companies, including one of the nation's largest gift companies and two candy companies. He has also worked as a human resources executive, a marketing executive for a Fortune 100 company and director of training for a major retail department store chain. He holds bachelor's degrees in economics and psychology and a master's degree in executive management.

He and his wife, Cindy, have three adult children. They live in New Jersey. "Interviewing: It's Your Big Deal!" is his first book. AuthorHouse is the premier publishing house for emerging authors and new voices in literature. For more information, please visit http://www.authorhouse.com.
