Evaluating the Demo
Read more: Evaluating the DemoI’ll admit that a while back (wow – are we going on 10 years now?) I was an SC. You know – those guys from the vendors that the salespeople count on to demonstrate product during the sales cycle. SC’s are a highly valued commodity. They are highly trained product experts that must float between…

GG and DD define “engagement”
Gautam and I take a stab at clarifying our definitions of “engagement” here. Mine is in the comments… Poste Update 12/09/05, 10PM: And a quick addition… David Kippin (the actual originator of all my thoughts in the “branding, talent, engagement” 1, 2, 3 series even though his link is in #2) posted a clarification on…

Tax Credit Screening (and a few $100K)
A few days ago, I got an e-mail from someone requesting my thoughts on Projectix. The e-mail said, “I would say it [is a] TMS program. Wouldn’t you?” A few e-mail exchanges later, I basically said that it was not a TMS system, it was an TAS system. This was actually being nice because when…

Authoria tops the TMS vendors?
In a rare show of self control, a vendor has incredible press that it doesn’t show off on it’s website. ***NOTE – I have been corrected. Sometimes the most obvious things are not readily apparent to me. The huge orange and red banner on Authoria’s hompage is an announcement that they won the shootout. Even…

So last time we talked about communicating brand and an overview of a chain of effect beginning with the manager communication and ending with the shareholder returns via the Microsoft model. Andrew posted a link to David Kippen. I found this post about branding, talent acquisition and retention equally interesting. The following text is from…

Employer branding, talent and engagement Part 1
I really need to thank Regina for linking to employerbrand.com. I’m finding it to be quite fascinating. There’s really a huge amount of content here about employer branding and employee engagement. I think everyone should read/view the MicroSoft case study they have, not because it’s the best one, but for me it’s the easiest to…

Deloitte HR
Well, I got pestered into adding Deloitte to my HR consultancies list to the right (not really – it was the right thing to do ayway). I did not add Accenture HR there for the same reason Hewitt is not on the HR consultancies list – they are listed in HRO vendors and I’m not…

Google, Brand, Talent, Engagement
It was all wrapped into a single post from one of Michael’s link posts. In this google blogger page where Trisha Weir talks about how she got to be hired (partly by selling WHY she owned a Google t-shirt) I have to give some kudos to the recruiter and hiring manager for recognizing a couple…

More on Portals
Blogger over at Systematic Viewpoints has been writing about PeopleSoft portals and his implementation experiences lately. Of particular interest is his/er organization’s struggle with the HR portal versus the enterprise portal. If you’re on common platforms (PS, SAP, PT) then integration isn’t so bad. Even if they are not on the same platform, I’m not…
