I’ve just returned home from a global IIC Partners meeting which was held in Hong Kong this year. We had three days of meetings with our partner firms from around the world, and spent a lot of time talking about talent, leadership, executive search and executive assessment.

I’ve come to the conclusion that most of the current crop of social recruiting experts out there are simply full of it. In a vacuum, this statement is going to delight one of my partners, who routinely rejects any application of ”science” to the “art” of retained search (yes, we know you had to walk […]

I’ve been knocking around the world of work for more than 35 years now, so I feel qualified to make blanket statements and sweeping generalizations about plenty of things with only limited facts. Holiday cards just aren’t what they used to be. This year, I received no more than five actual holiday greeting […]
