HR Happy Hour Network

HR Happy Hour - Episode 105 - 'Networks and Recruiting' - sponsored by Aquire Thursday June 16, 2011 - 8PM EDT Call in 646-378-1086 Follow on Twitter - #HRHappyHour This week on the HR Happy Hour Show we will be joined by recruiting industry veteran, and CEO of Jobfox, Rob McGovern. Rob will share his insights and perspective on the history of internet and online recruiting, (Rob was the founder and former CEO of Careerbuilder), the critically important role of social and professional networks for recruiting today, and perhaps even a glimpse into the future of what technology and process may look like in the next 10 years.

HR Happy Hour- Episode 104 - 'You Still Can't Fire Everyone' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday June 9, 2011 - 8:00PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow on Twitter - #HRHappyHour This week on the show we will talk with Hank Gilman, executive at Fortune Magazine, and author of the recent book, 'You Can't Fire Everyone, and Other Lessons from an Accidental Manager'.  Hank has had a long and successful career as a writer and editor at some of the world's most prominent publications like the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and even the Beaufort Times. But like many successful and talented professionals, Hank's introduction to the world of 'management' was not at all planned for or simple. Why do organizations simply promote the best workers to management positions without really equipping them with the skills and tools they will need to succeed? What is it like to go from 'one of the team' to leader of the team in one fell swoop? And what has Hank learned about hiring, firing, motivating, and guiding teams of talented and creative people in his years in the journalism business? I hope you can join Hank and I this Thursday June 9th at 8:00pm ET for 'You Still Can't Fire Everyone'.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 103 - Best of the HR Happy Hour Show - Replay of Episode 87 - 'Robots and Social Networks' - sponsored by Aquire. This week the HR Happy Hour takes a one-week break from the live schedule, and replays one of the best shows from the last two years, Episode 87 - 'Robots and Social Networks' - originally aired on Feb. 17, 2011.  The show featured MIT Professor and author Shery Turkle, who talked about her recent book 'Alone Together', and how technology, and in particular artificial intelligence and social networks are fundamentally changing our relationships, our work, and ourselves. It was my favorite show of the last two years, and I hope you can take some time to listen in. We will be back next week with a live HR Happy Hour show, but for now, enjoy this first 'Best of' show!
