In honor of Tim Sackett Day, I wanted to continue my tradition of publishing a quarterly list of Human Capital Management (HR) and Career Blogs. You can download the spreadsheet here.

I’m not trying to sell you anything. I don’t want you to buy information out there that’s free. You can have it. Here you go.

Now listen, these blogs are not ranked. I am probably missing someone. Some of these blogs might not be updated in the past 30 days. You might be misclassified. But please get off my ass. This is a really good list. It’s better than anything you can buy on the market. I’m proud of it.

And it’s yours. For free. Because I love you.

If there are any problems with the list, leave a comment. I will fix it.

Enjoy!

I come to you 1x each year and ask for a donation. This year, I’m asking for a donation to support MMRF.

Multiple myeloma is cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow. (Geraldine Ferraro died of the illness.) MMRF pursues innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure.

I am not just asking for your cash. I am willing to earn your donation by running up the Empire State Building with my bestie Cols. We are using the hashtag #empirestrikesblond for our campaign.

Now listen, I am taking liberty with the word run. I am committing to 60 steps/minute and there are 1,576 steps. I’m not good at math and I am short. My inseam in 26.5″ and I have some chubby thighs. My goal is to finish under 30 minutes. The slowest person in 2011 finished in 41 minutes.

It’s about finishing. I will earn your donation.

I feel very lucky in life. I have no major health issues. I have no chronic or debilitating diseases. I’m not tremendously fit but I am lucky to have a chance to do this and raise awareness for a very serious disease. How can I say no to MMRF?

More importantly, how can you say no to me?

You can’t.

Please donate.

If you don’t want your name on the list because people hit you up for donations constantly, you can be anonymous.

Just donate.

I will make you proud and you will cure cancer.

You will, champ. You can do it. [Insert Sarah McLachlan song here.]

Wish me luck — regardless of whether or not you make a donation.

But donate here if you can.

Thank you!

Pictures from College Republican recruiting at...HTFSIK?

Truly. I have no idea. I haven’t been on campus since 2000 and it was a scene. I met a bunch of kids at a crappy Houlihan’s* in Champaign, IL and recruited them back to my hotel room for a late night soiree.

(*It might have been a Ground Round. My memory is fuzzy. When you can expense shit and you are not much older than the kids you are hiring, you are king of the world. Especially in the middle of Illinois.)

No, wait, hold on, my time line is off. I was on campus back in 2008. I did some graduate recruiting and I swore to Jesus Christ himself that I wouldn’t go back. There is nothing more thankless than listening to pretentious jerks with no work experience talk about their unrealistic compensation expectations.

Oh you demonstrated leadership by taking on a low-stakes project where nothing matters and no money was spent? And you led a club? I’m sorry. My mistake. I thought you were an asshole. My bad. Lemme up my offer and give you more stock options that you don’t deserve.

Sign me up for waterboarding. Please.

Listen, you and I both know that college recruiting isn’t hard. There is a process — just like a regular recruiting campaign.

  • First things first — identify your suspects. (“Packing Engineers. Michigan State. Preferably cheap. Go!”)
  • Use your super-sleuthing HR skills to identify a group who fit your criteria. (“Must speak English and pass a drug test.”)
  • Identify prospective candidates and create a candidate pool. (“Do you like to work or are you a lazy fuck?”)
  • Verify your selection by talking to professors and mixing with the students at uncomfortable networking events. (Stay away from the cubed cheese.)
  • Try to get to know the kids in your pool. (Worst part of the job.)
  • Give ‘em a little something but resist the urge to give ‘em swag. Want to offer something cool? You can’t. You work for a lame-ass company. The best you can do is to offer them an opportunity to have lunch with an executive. Maybe you can swing a trip to your corporate R&D facilities to understand how work gets done. I dunno. You figure it out.
  • Then you close ‘em with cash and jewels and Xbox 360s.

That’s how I do college recruiting. Minus the Xbox.

NO LAURIE! YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT RECRUITING. IT’S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. YOU NEED TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA. THROW UP A FACEBOOK PAGE. GET A LINKEDIN GROUP GOING. INTEGRATE THIS SHIT INTO YOUR CRM SYSTEM. TRACK IT WITH A DASHBOARD AND ANALYTICS!!!!!!!!!!! THEN SEND THESE KIDS A TEXT. NO WAIT DON’T SEND ‘EM A TEXT BECAUSE THAT’S TOO MUCH. JUST FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER AND FORMULATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT BRANDING STRATEGY. AND MAKE THAT SHIT MOBILE! OMFGMOBILE!!!!!!KJFLKDJSLJDOFLKWDNS&*$&^@#^&UHF)(Q(WIEOKS MOBILE APPS DAWG@O!

I had that real-life conversation and apparently I am an ass who doesn’t know how to recruit kids.

It’s really hard.

You want a world-class college recruiting program? Let me speak in absolutes.

  • There is only one way to achieve this goal. You need a world-class, overarching, comprehensive recruiting methodology where you truly approach this process like you’re recruiting adults.

And you need to stay away from the short blonde girl at the Houlihan’s on the University of Illinois. She is dressed like a frumpy HR lady but she is trouble(d).

Official seal of Provincetown, MassachusettsI would say that 50% of the people I’ve interviewed in my life are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

That’s not a real number but it’s pretty close.

If you walk in the door and give me any indication that you have a chip on your shoulder — or you present a potential liability to my company — your interview is over.

You want ridiculous but 100% real examples?

Yeah, dog. I have them. Here we go.

You badmouth a person, place or thing.

Don’t badmouth a boss, a former coworker, or a breed of dog (pitbulls). Don’t disparage a company (P&G), a city (Provincetown), or a brand of toothpaste (Crest). Don’t tell me how you hate the east coast liberal elites or people who don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

Please don’t tell me your former boss is a bitch. (Do I even need to tell you this? Yes I do.)

Work is all about  dealing with stupid people. If you can’t demonstrate discretion in an interview when you’re at your best, I can’t trust you in a work environment when someone else is at his/her worst. You might sue us.

You talk about people who are out to get you.

I feel your pain. I have a whole community of people who hate me but I would never talk about haters in an interview, though. That’s because my head is not up my ass. Unlike you.

If you talk about your former boss or [black people/Latinos/women] who are out to get you, it’s bad. Always bad. Please just shut up.

I’ve learned that if you can’t shut up, you will probably sue us.

You talk openly about your medical or psychological conditions.

It’s cool that you are a recovering alcoholic. Good for you. And I’m sorry to hear that you suffer from both depression and eczema. Tough stuff — but I don’t want to hear about it during an interview. You are under no obligation to disclose your sleep apnea. I don’t want to her it.

HR 101 taught me that when you talk openly about medical issues in an interview, you are looking for a reason to bring those medical conditions up in court. I’m not going to hire you.

Listen, I don’t need to administer a Birkman if you walk into my office and can’t keep the personal things personal. You’re not a good fit for my company and I won’t hire you.

That’s still legal.

Please come to an interview and talk about your knowledge, skills and abilities. That’s it. Everything else just reminds me that my #1 job in HR is to mitigate risk — and you present the biggest liability to my company when you talk about your ongoing problems with carpal tunnel and how much you hate brown people.

Just shut up and keep it professional, okay?

Today is the first annual Tim Sackett Day.

If you don’t know Tim, you are a fool. Tim is an Executive Vice President at HRU Technical Resources, a staffing firm located in Michigan. HRU Technical Resources specializes in the manufacturing sector and they currently have over 500+ engineers, designers, supervisors and technicians on site at clients all over the country. They are a Certified Women-owned Business with a client base in defense, military, consumer products, automotive, aerospace, and education.

But that’s not why I am celebrating Tim Sackett Day or why you should know him.

Tim is a recruiting dork, a father, a husband, a coach, a leader, a teacher — and in his spare time, he blogs on multiple sites and tweets. Tim will never win a spot on a  ‘Human Resources influencer list’ because he is too busy doing real HR work to fart around with the consultants and gurus who create those lists.

That’s why you should know him.

Tim is the best of what Human Resources has to offer. He isn’t looking for awards and accolades. He isn’t looking for a few more followers on Twitter. He lives in the state of Michigan and actually finds jobs for people. He helps companies achieve profitability. And he is raising three boys to be amazing men.

Tim blogs, tweets and manages to find time to be a great HR professional and a great husband and father. He is speaking at TLNT Transform and SHRM National — not because he likes to get freaky with HR chicks — but because he is trying to improve the field of HR.

If Tim can do it, you can do it.

That’s why it is so fun to participate in the first annual Tim Sackett Day. He is the best of what HR has to offer but he isn’t the only one out there. I bet you work with a few Tim Sacketts. You might be Tim Sackett, too. If so, I want to thank you for your hard work. You won’t get an award from anyone else — but you will be recognized on Tim Sackett Day!

F@%k It Friday: Sunrise or Sunset

I remember seeing a sunrise back in 2005. I was driving to the airport on my way to lay off about 40 people. I said, “Wow, the sunrise is lovely but there is no reason to be up at this hour.” I was right. Sunsets are better. Way better. Sunsets on the beach are the [...]

Why You Should Never Be Authentic On Social Media

Because you’re awful and nobody cares. The wrong answer to every single question about social media is ‘be authentic’. No way, Jose. Be authentic on your own time.  On my time, be interesting and compelling. Make an effort. Try to get me to like you. Your authentic self sucks. Give your authentic self to your [...]

There Has Always Been A Job Skills Gap

There has always been a skills gap in the modern workforce. Yes, there are universities that educate scientists, chemists and engineers. There are industries where training is absolutely required before you go to work. But most of us come to work knowing very little. The majority of us have had extensive on-the-job-training. People are not [...]

Closing The Comment Section

There’s an online debate brewing about whether or not comments should be closed on blogs. Who is in favor of closing the blogs? Writers who value one-on-one conversation. Authors who feel that comments create a haven for stupidity. Bloggers who don’t have time to manage trolls. I am a big fan of my comments section [...]

I Love It When White Guys Tell Me About Money And Happiness

I love it when successful white men want to tell me about happiness and money. My favorite part is when men with clear agendas (and books to sell) tell me that the potential for happiness is within me, it is related to my passion, and it has nothing to do with money. Right. Okay. First [...]
