Recruiting In The Trough III
In the 1970s, we experienced stagflation. Stagflation is a period of low economic growth, high unemployment and high inflation (Investopedia). So wages don't rise while prices do in a period of stagflation.

The alternative scenario I've been trying to get by arms around in this series might be called conflation. It would feature ...   (Read more of John Sumser's article, Recruiting In The Trough III, in the Electronic Recruiting News.)

Survey Says:
Korn/Ferry Survey: "Extreme Commuting" Emerges as Attractive Alternative to Executive Relocation

- Recruiters Say More Difficult Today than in Past to Convince Candidates to Relocate –

Executives are increasingly open to "extreme commuting," which involves traveling by plane to work and back each week or by car for more than 90 minutes one way each day, as an alternative to relocation, according to 70 percent of international recruiters who completed the 12th edition of the quarterly Executive Recruiter Index, released by Korn/Ferry International (NYSE:KFY), a premier global provider of talent management solutions.

More than half of executive recruiters (55 percent) indicate that it is more difficult today than in the past to convince candidates to relocate for new job opportunities. Family ties are the leading reason for resistance, according to half of the recruiters surveyed, while lifestyle factors (25 percent) and housing market costs (10 percent) are also contributing factors.

"Executives' family and lifestyle considerations are prompting employers to rethink relocation requirements in order to attract the best and the brightest talent," said Jeff Hocking, managing director of Korn/Ferry International's San Francisco office. "Besides enhanced relocation packages, both employers and candidates today are considering alternatives to moving altogether, including extreme Monday through Friday travel."

Additionally, four out of every five recruiters (82 percent) indicate that employers are at least somewhat open to having their executives conduct frequent business travel instead of relocation. This trend appears to be particularly prevalent in the technology industry.

Where relocation is necessary, higher compensation is the incentive most commonly used to attract candidates, according to nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of recruiters surveyed, followed by flexible work environments (40 percent) and arrangements for family visits (37 percent).

Lastly, when asked how frequently an average executive in today's business environment can expect to travel, the most common response was 10 to 15 weeks per year, cited by one-third (33 percent) of executive recruiters, followed by 15 to 20 weeks, cited by 22 percent.

Methodology
The Executive Recruiter Index is based on a quarterly survey of 198 Korn/Ferry International consultants, who serve the world's largest corporations and not-for-profit organizations. This survey was conducted online within the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa from August 1-10, 2007.

Deep Release:
The Office Holiday Party; Career Catapult or Career Killer? Avoid booze, BlackBerrys and barbequed ribs, advises on-line career site, WallStJobs.com.

The festive landscape has changed over the years and it presents some new challenges to even the most seasoned party-goer. "It is still advisable to curb your drinking and hold the glass in your left hand," says WallStJobs.com founder, Robert Graber, "but you should also remember to mute your BlackBerry and iPhone as well."

Graber suggests thinking of the holiday party as a networking event but with better food and a more focused guest list. "Make it a point to introduce yourself to people in your company you would like to get to know better and engage in some light conversation. Don't use the moment to discuss complex corporate strategy, but you might mention how you have enjoyed your role in the firm and your excitement about the coming year," said Graber. "Don't spend a lot of time with any one person. Politely excuse yourself after a few minutes with best wishes for the holidays and move on."

Graber had some other holiday party advice:

    - Hold your drink in your left hand (Your right hand stays dry and warm for handshakes)
    - Don't eat salty foods which may make you drink more and avoid messy, saucy offerings which are hard to handle.
    - Don't be the first to arrive and don't be the last to go.
    - Dress conservatively. Less is not more at an office event.
    - Speak positively at all times. Don't bad mouth anyone or anything as you never know who might be listening. (Remember this advice in the elevator, on the coat check line and in the rest room!)
    - No texting or emailing during a party.
    - Thank your host before leaving.
"When handled correctly, holiday parties are wonderful opportunities to get to know your associates and management in a festive environment," says Graber. "Balance your talking time with listening time to avoid coming across as pushy."

And finally, Graber strongly advises even the most Scrooge-like individual not to skip the event. "You will likely be more noticed negatively by not attending."
