Disclaimer: This is just my personal opinion. Every crisis we have faced as mankind at the end brought us opportunities and change our lives. This invisible enemy, this pandemic, will change the way we travel, shop, and work for years to come. I hope it will bring more good than bad in the long run. But in this moment, it give us the opportunity to slow down and think for a moment what we want from our lives, if we are still happy at work and in our relationships, or if we should stop postponing our dreams and start following them […]

The internet is flooded with articles about what employees want, how to motivate them, what millennials want, and how to motivate them. I want to give you a different view of what employees want, something that is applicable to any generation that was is or will be. The things that I mention below in this article are universal, and I am sure that this will still be applicable in another hundred years. Jennifer J.

When I use software to check blogs for stolen materials, it usually detects many instances of plagiarized text in their […]

Did you know that a good employee experience affects the productivity and profitability of your company? In fact, productivity is not the only thing affected by it. Retention, engagement, revenue, work culture, and many other things are affected by the employee experience too!

Disclaimer: My intention with this article is to raise the awareness of a few things that are happening and/or could happen to you when you are installing any Chrome extension that you find. I am not saying that Chrome extensions that we recruiters are using are all bad, most of them are awesome, but it’s better to be cautious.  Almost every person, recruiter or sourcer has some Chrome extensions installed in their browser and I am no exception. These extensions help us find contact details for our potential candidates, save us time when we are creating messages for them, and most of […]

LinkedIn published an update during August 2019, describing how it is successfully fighting against fake profiles on the network. Between January and June 2019, it took action against 21.6 million fake LinkedIn profiles, preventing 19.5 million fake accounts from being created at registration and restricting two million fake accounts before members reported them and 67,000 following member reports (linkedin.com). Even though the numbers of stopped fake profiles is impressive, imagine how many fake profiles LinkedIn didn’t block and how many are still there—and how many fake profiles scammers will try to create in the future. For some groups and companies, the […]
