Employee referral programs are the most powerful corporate recruiting tool, bar none. They can produce a high volume of quality hires who have been statistically proven to have lower rates of attrition. When designed well, they can not only be cost-effective, but they can produce one of the highest ROIs in the entire HR function. Firms with well-designed referral programs can tune them to produce over 70% of hires (AmTrust, for example, has reached 78%). However, there can be a dark side to referrals. Because the concept seems so simple, many program managers design their programs based on intuition, guesswork, and emulation. Unfortunately, while the concept truly is simple, executing it in a world-class way is anything but. As a result, most referral programs sadly underperform their potential by using numerous 'program Killers,' or common components of a majority of corporate referral programs. If your referral program is struggling to produce a mere 30% of your organization's hires, I guarantee that you have more than one of these 15 killer elements as part of your program design: Responsiveness of the program. Nothing kills a well-designed program faster than slow or no response rates to employee referrals. If the person being referred doesn't hear something unique to their submission within 72 hours, they will become discouraged. If the employee making a referral doesn't get a similar rapid response, they will also ...

By Katie Paul It’s no surprise that journalism can be dangerous work. Reporters are routinely killed on assignment in conflict areas or covering other hazardous parts of the world. But what about those killed not in the course of their work but because of their work? Like 54-year-old Philip Agustin, whose newspaper was about to publish a special edition on missing government funds in the Philippines when he was shot in the back of the head at his daughter’s home on May 10, 2005. Or Bautista Merino, 24, and Martínez Sánchez, 20, the hosts of a local radio station in Mexico’s tumultuous southern state of Oaxaca, who were driving home on a rural highway on April 7, 2008, when they were gunned down by unidentified assailants wielding assault rifles. Or Mahad Ahmed Elmi, a Somali morning talk show host shot dead outside the entrance of his radio station’s building as he arrived for work on Aug. 11, 2007. Later that day Elmi’s colleague Ali Iman Sharmarke was killed by a remote-controlled bomb that detonated under his car as he was returning from Elmi’s funeral. No one has ever been convicted of these killings. Nor has anyone been brought to justice in 23 other cases of journalist murder in the Philippines, in seven in Mexico and in five in Somalia. And these are only a fraction of the more than 500 murders of journalists, specifically because of their reporting, since 1992, the year the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) be ...

Via The Washington Post , there's a great article that came out recently on the emerging vertical job search engines .   Check it out here.   A few highlights, followed by my comments:   1. Highlight :  The key difference between [ SimplyHired , Indeed.com , WorkZoo , etc.] and leading job boards Monster and CareerBuilder is that employers don't pay to be listed.   Comment : I really just put this in for those new to the vertical job search phenomenon. Do yourself a favor and checkout these players if you haven't to date.   2. Highlight :  Indeed is even developing a pay-per-click advertising model that mimics Google's, including an online auction in which employers and other companies will bid to have their ads displayed alongside regular search results.   Comment : The verticals are taking after the Google's of search and creating revenue opportunities around free content. Well done.   3. Highlight : ...  if you were an employer, would you prefer to pay $300 for a listing on Monster, pay nothing to post it on a site like Craigslist, or just display it on your own site? All three routes would produce essentially the same listing in search results on Indeed and Simply Hired.   Comment : Key points here are that 1) the corporate career center will become increasingly valuable and 2) the cost of a job listing is quickly going to zero. Savvy employers - the ones who will leverage these new mediums ...

I have a piece in the Guardian today about political memoirs. Here's an extract: According to the rumours, Cherie Blair has received around a million pounds for her book and Prescott half a million. Nice work if you can get it, and lubricant enough to prise open the most tightly shut mouth. But even if the Prescott family's other options for securing an income are somewhat more limited than the Blairs' - Cherie Blair is at the pinnacle of her lucrative profession, with a high-earning husband, while Prescott has no discernible skills to offer and a wife who does ...

What baseball fan doesn’t feel me on this one? Every team has ‘em — opposing players who have seemingly made their livings, earning phat contracts at the hands of their favorite clubs. With that in mind it is time to examine a starting line-up of current players who have made the Twins look like little leaguers over the years.
