Self Made Millennial Madeline Mann will show you the tips, tricks, and strategies to help build a similar connection during a video interview as if you were in person.
A lot of folks are currently out of job and looking for work. Not many jobs open. Too many candidates lead to a lot of rejections, black holes, no feedback, and very few “interviews”.
You and I (TA Leaders and Pros) don’t consider a twenty-minute phone screen to be an interview. Candidates definitely believe it’s an interview. They prepare for your phone screen at the same level they prepare for an in-person interview with the hiring manager. First impressions and all.
Here’s the problem, that twenty-minute phone screen, one of many...
Have you ever been between jobs and unemployed? It sucks. There’s no greater truth. Throughout my 30+ years of my career, I’ve been in transition twice when I wasn’t working in HR.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a slew of new legal and compliance issues related to remote work, EEO/ADA obligations, the FLSA and paid time off, return-to-work safety concerns, and other matters. Assessing compliance risks and...
As a CHRO, I recognize the importance of giving employees the flexibility to participate in the upcoming election, whether it’s going to vote or giving time off to volunteer. Election seasons can be stressful, and this year, it likely will add additional tension to an already volatile time period. While being faced with a recession, pandemic and social unrest, leaders should be aware of employees feeling isolated, especially as many employees are working remotely, and becoming disengaged.
Below are several ways to support employee mental health and mitigate stress during the upcoming election.
One way LaSalle Network supports employees during...
