Five Reasons Why Machine Learning Needs To Make Resumes Obsolete

By Louis Columbus on May 14, 2018

Hiring companies nationwide miss out on 50% or more of qualified candidates and tech firms incorrectly classify up 80% of candidates due to inaccuracies and shortcomings of existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), illustrating how faulty these systems are for enabling hiring.

Where did the 'Human' in Human Resources go?

Where did the ‘Human’ in Human Resources go?

By Brian Sommer on May 8, 2014

Twice in my career, I’ve hired Connie Laughlin. She’s a great HR and Resource Management executive. Interestingly, her last employer has had to downsize and now she’s on the other side of the fence.

Future of Talent Management – The Economy, Workers, etc. Have Changed Things

By Brian Sommer on December 3, 2013

 This Fall, Ann Blakely (of Baker Tilly Consulting) and I interviewed a number of HR executives. We had a half dozen or so HR hypotheses we wanted to examine in this changing economy.
