There But For The Grace Of G-d Go Us! [The original version of this post was published here in January, 2012, but a call I did last night with a magazine editor reminded me that we must emphasize just how important it is to start any HR technology project with a well-grounded strategy. [...] Never mind trying to make meaningful predictions, which are very hard to do safely when you’re under a zillion NDAs. Instead, I’m focusing my energies on what I want to happen. What would I make happen if my magic wand, bought years ago at FAO Schwarz, could be recharged? What would I ask him to do if The [...] Pattern Recognition With The Cookie Monster [This post is dedicated to Marc Maloy, SVP Worldwide Sales at HireRight, just because he asked for it.
