    "Performance reviews."

    The words strike fear and dread in the hearts of employees everywhere. Their angst is understandable: Performance reviews typically are not done often enough and all too often are done poorly.

    The best practices of a recruitment sourcing process should center on the social side of sourcing and recruiting, the art and craft of getting the best information to feed into the machine.
    • The process starts with having an effective, robust conversation with the hiring manager -- and truly listening
    • The process ends when you have enough valuable data to make it possible to find qualified candidates aligned with the organization's culture and style in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
    Although organizations often believe a bottleneck in their recruiting efforts is the result of a systems problem, more often than not it is the result of a skills deficit.  In other words, it’s a people problem.

    Positive reinforcement is exponentially more powerful than negative reinforcement – regardless if it applies to students, athletes, or your employees.

    In a work setting, while employees love being recognized for a job well done, they continue to stay motivated and produce even better results when rewarded appropriately (a.k.a monetarily).

    But how do you choose which employees get rewarded? How much do you reward each employee? Do you have baselines and metrics established to fairly distribute rewards and recognition?
