Still, an emphasis on utilizing messaging and online assessment functionality is important to ensure that the candidates entering the pipeline are the right ones.Monster Is the objective to engage as many people as possible? Or is it possible to be more selective in attracting specific skills?CKR Its a bit of a mix of both - for the most part the objective is to identify how to get in front of a very specific prospect.However, its also important to maintain a strong employer brand, especially in the social realm where many aim to engage as many people as possible, as your connections there may very well lead to future candidates and/or custo mers.MonsterCan innovative multimedia marketing be done effectively, without breaking the bank?CKR An example of a low-cost multimedia campaign we conducted for ourselves is our agency anniversary campaign, which won Grand Prize for Self Promotion at this years CEAs.As CKRs anniversary falls on April 1st, we decided to launch an April Fools Day campaign promoting several fake (and hilarious if we do say so ourselves) products promising to help employers to retain and even clone their top talent via three topics Cloner, Deployeeand reTension.Utilizing online marketing tactics including video, landing pages, pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, social media, email campaigns, sales sheets and PR, we were able to stir up a lot of buzz and traffic to our site without breaking the bank.In fact, our social shared when up 300%, our Facebook fan base grew to more than those of our top competitors combined, and we saw a huge increase in site traffic - about a 55% increase from the norm And this is all from a campaign that ran for less than a week.Monster How are companies using online media to build their brand?CKR Companies are now aiming to utilize online media in a comprehensive manner versus a piecemeal approach, taking into consideration placement, timing, frequency, messaging and creative used.Every single detail has an effect on the employers brand and must be taken into thoughtful consideration. Furthermore, avenues such as social media are being used with a focus to strengthen the employer brand and communications with potential candidates, versus solely on recruitment.An example of a successful career website is the site CKR designed for one of the worlds largest and most respected contract research organizations, Covance (a multi-award winner).Site visitors are able to quickly learn about Covance, view their connections and current openings at Covance, and access information on a variety of topics such as university/college opportunities, benefits, various departm ents/career paths, and diversity.

Study Women financial advisors punished more harshly than men

Study Women financial advisors punished more harshly than menStudy Women financial advisors punished more harshly than menAre women punished more punitively for misdeeds at work than men? In the financial advisory industry, they are according to a new working paper from Harvard Business School on the gender punishment eu-agrarpolitik.Researchers used 10 years of data on financial advisors employment information from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), an independent nonprofit authorized by the U.S. government to monitor financial firms. The info also contained details about whether an advisor had ever committed misconduct and detailed each infraction.Men misbehave 2x as much, women 20% more likely to be firedMale advisors committed misconduct twice as often as female advisors, it was found. However, when women committed misconduct, there were bigger consequences they were 20% more likely to be fired, and 30% and to have a harder time finding employment afterward.Whil e women are punished more heavily than men for their misdeeds, their misconduct that is 20% less costly to the company women are less inclined toward repeating the misconduct. Men, on the other hand, are more serious, repeat offenders, with higher settlement costs to the firm up to $20% incurred if they are caught.The researchers attributed the unfair treatment of women advisors, and the more laissez-faire treatment towards their male counterparts, to gender bias, especially since the industry is male-dominated.Female managers make a differenceHowever, the gender punishment gap narrowed when the women financial advisors worked at companies with a greater number of females as managers or at the local branch level. This told researchers that the gender punishment gap was not dictated by certain firms or financial niches. Instead, it was a phenomenon called in-group tolerance. Simply put, people are more tolerant of those that are more like them.In the workplace, men are less likely to come down hard on men male executives seem to be more forgiving of misconduct by men relative to women, says the paper which leaves women out in the cold. But in a financial advisory workplace where there are more women managers, female bosses are less likely to respond to womens misconduct with excessive harshness.A recent Wall Street Journal story deals with the same topic on women high positions in their field and the little leeway they are given to make mistakes as opposed to men. Both the article and the above Harvard Business School working paper referred to another Harvard working paper from brde year on surgeons.If a female surgeons work resulted in the death of a patient, physician referrals to her dropped 54%. If the same happened to male surgeons, however, the reaction was not nearly as harsh. The paper noted that this may be because men appear to be treated as individuals.

How to Step Back Into Leadership After Maternity LeaveHow to Step Back Into Leadership After Maternity Leave Youve just experienced a few crazy months- a mix of newborn bliss and stress. Preparing to step back into your pre-mom role, as the leader of a company, can be scary and guilt-ridden not to mention challenging. For a mother who is returning to the office after maternity leave , reentry can be a bumpy ride. After three or so months at home with her baby, she has to shift her attention back to work, a move that can feel sudden and startling.

Or that I was struggling. Or that I had changed and grown as a person and employee. There were plenty of other women in my office who had gone on maternity leave and returned, and yet I felt isolated.Then one day after my second return to work, I sat down with a colleague who had just recently come back herself after maternity leave. We shut the door and found so much power in talking about our shared experiences.Instead of holding it all in, find your community at work.

All of this will ensure a successful transition and ensure that you feel happy with both your new job and your old one.

Gender Neutral Interview and Business Clothing

Gender Neutral Interview and Business ClothingGender Neutral Interview and Business ClothingIf your day-to-day attire doesnt conform to a traditional gender norm, your interview clothing doesnt have to, either. In this day and age, there should be no position that requires you to dress in a way that makes you uncomfortable. Gender Neutral Attire Whether youre a woman who steers clear of overtly feminine apparel, a man who prefers a more gender-neutral look, or a non-gender-conforming or transgender person, youll be able to dress for success without a problem. The key is to find clothing that fits you properly and looks polished and professional. Thats true regardless of what you opt to wear. Ideally, all you have to worry about is fulfilling those three categories. Heres what that means Clothes should bedrngnis be too large or small, tight or baggy. (Suggestions for androgynous business clothing sources are below, but also consider visiting a tailor if necessary.)As well as fitti ng properly, clothing should be clean and wrinkle-free.When in doubt, neutral colors- such as black, taupe, beige, brown, blue, and gray- are good options. Tips for Deciding What to Wear If youve never felt comfortable in a dress, you shouldnt force yourself to wear one to an interview. Confidence is key during an interview, and its hard to be confident when youre feeling uncomfortable in your clothing. Ultimately, you shouldnt feel pressured to present yourself in a way that doesnt align with your identity. If youre worried about being discriminated against, you should consult theHuman Rights Campaignwebsite to learn more about discrimination laws in your state, including whether or not you are protected by law and what to do if you feel you have been a victim of discrimination.

However, the employer may have a dress code in place that impacts what you wear to work. TheHuman Rights Campaignrecommendsthat If an employer has a dress code, it should modify it to avoid gender stereotypes and enforce it consistently. Requiring men to wear suits and women to wear skirts or dresses, while legal, is based on gender stereotypes. Alternatively, codes that require attire professionally appropriate to the office or unit in which an employee works are gender-neutral. Employers can legally implement gender-specific dress codesas long as they are not arbitrarily enforced and do not favor or affect one gender over another. Once you secure a job offer, you can consult with the companys human resources department or the hiring manager to inquire about the company dress code and how it might impact you.

10 Common (and Corrosive) Job Reference Mistakes

10 Common (and Corrosive) Job Reference Mistakes10 Common (and Corrosive) Job Reference MistakesIn the job hunt, there is so much focus on the resume and the interview that your professional references dont get enough attention. But there are several mistakes that many job applicants make with their references that could easily be avoided.1. Youve got References Upon Request on your resume. Employers and recruiters know they can get references from you at the appropriate time. Its a given. Youre actually wasting valuable real estate on your resume when you do this, and youd be better off filling that space with more job experience, skills, or education information.2. You send your list of references without being asked. Its not necessary to send your references to every kompetenz employer. For one reason, you could inundate your references with calls, and they wont even be prepared by knowing what position youve applied for. Instead, focus on only giving references to employers who a re serious about hiring you, and give your references a heads up to prepare for the call.3. Your references arent prepared. Piggybacking on No. 2, its important to have your references know a little about the position youve applied for so they can discuss your most relevant skills and provide you with the strongest possible reference. Applying for a variety of positions without letting your references know is equivalent to throwing both them and yourself under the bus.4. Your references cant speak to your job experience. When youre young, you may not have that many people who can give a recommendation on your professional experience, but resist filling the list with your friends and family. Instead, look to past college professors, internship or volunteer coordinators, or mentors to talk you up. If you have relevant job experience, your most recent employers and colleagues will be your strongest reference. Typically, the more recent the reference, the better. References tend to forg et many of the specifics of working with you over time.5. You havent asked your references for permission. If you list former baboes on your reference list and they are unaware of it, you risk them being taken by surprise, and even possibly giving a shaky recommendation. Always ask for permission to use someone as a reference, and give them as much information about the jobs youre applying for as possible.6. You list bad references. Make sure youd get a good recommendation from anyone you put on your reference list. Some employers will not formally give any more information other than dates of employment and information on your eligibility for rehire. If the answer is no, youve lost your chance at the new job.7. Your contacts are outdated. Before providing your references, you should make sure all the contact information is updated, so that you dont waste the time of potential employers. You dont want to hold up the reference-checking process because you can no longer locate one of your references. Checking in periodically is a good way to stay in touch and reconnect as well.8. Your references are old. If you use a boss from 10 years ago as a reference, potential employers might scratch their heads and wonder why you dont have anyone more recent who can vouch for you. If you do use an old boss or mentor, make sure its someone you still stay in touch with and you have more recent references to send along.9. Your reference list is long (or short). No employer is going to call a lengthy list of contacts, so unless youre asked differently, aim for three to five people- and ask what types of references the employer wants. Some employers only want to talk to previous bosses where others may want to hear from a client as well as a boss and a junior colleague.10. You didnt bring your references to your interview. Always be prepared and bring extra copies of your resume as well as your reference list to the interview. Better to have it and not need it than to be caught empty-handed.Lindsay Olson is a founding partner and public relations recruiter with Paradigm Staffing and Hoojobs.com, a niche job board for public relations, communications, and social media jobs.
