Stephanie will be ably stirring the pot o’ jobs on her own this week, since yours truly will be honeymooning and the only recruiting I intend to do involves finding people to bring me fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them.

But before I go, a few links for you to chew on:

Why They Hate Recruiting - Dave Lefkow suggests that recruiting no longer be an HR function.

Develop a Who’s Who List of Outside Talent - How to develop a deep database of great candidates and referral sources.

Too Many Jobs, Too Few People - the Washington Business Journal finally catches up to what Stephanie and I have been noticing for months. Via Ben Gotkin.

Before Scoring that Job, You’d Better Ace the Test - The increasing use of personality tests in hiring decisions. If I weren’t about to go to our rehearsal dinner, there would be a long rant on this topic. The nutshell version: THESE TESTS ARE A BIG WASTE OF MONEY.
