The challenge of skills-based hiring
When you trace the history of hiring after the Industrial Revolution, you don’t have to go back very far to realize that a lot of it was tied to who you knew and how you presented yourself. It was all too easy to fabricate a backstory that looked good on...
The importance of prioritization
During our keynote at the HR Tech Conference this year, Mark Stelzner and I discussed the idea of “HR tech debt.” We covered a lot of ground during our session, and we were glad to hear the topic resonated with the attendees. One of the causes of HR tech debt we highlighted was...
Demystifying the HR Sandbox: Beyond Traditional RFPs
Providers. Employers. Advisors. It's safe to say that we all hate RFPs. They are imperfect by virtue of applying a transactional mechanism toward a transformational moment. That's why several years ago, IA advocated for a different approach that drives connection - not a brick wall - between our employer clients...
Don’t let ‘technical debt’ drag down your employee experience
As a child of the late 1970s/early 1980s, I was surrounded by the latest and greatest that home gadgets had to offer. We had the original Pong, an Atari 2600, the Osborne Executive portable computer, and anything else we could get our hands on. If it didn’t exist yet, we were bound...
When it comes to provider selection, size shouldn’t matter

Once upon a time, Keirsten Greggs and I had a conversation about the ability of recruiters to help shape the makeup of a company’s workforce. I don’t recall the entire conversation, but I think the gist of it was that we both think diversity is important and that recruiters can...
Recruiting strategy is hard when you can’t do the basics
Talk to any talent acquisition leader and they will tell you that their goal is to get their team to a place where they are a strategic partner with the business. They want to assist with workforce planning, advise leadership as to what skills are missing from their team, and...
Does Agile HR really work?
The evolution of how we talk about work is fascinating. From the early days of agrarian life, the focus on manufacturing at the start of the Industrial Revolution, and the emergence of the corporate office and beyond, people have tried to find a framework that reflects both the work being...
Global Shared Services: Improving the employee experience to drive success
Increasing economic pressures and a desire for an elevated employee experience has organizations working to find ways to offer more services for less cost. Many organizations have increased their interest in deploying a Shared Services model, particularly for global organizations. The concept of a Shared Service model is not new,...
Providers: Think “partner” first
I love the work that I get to do within companies. Part of the secret sauce that makes us the “anti-consulting consulting firm” and successful is the time we spend getting to know our clients – both as businesses and as people. Knowing there isn’t a one size fits all...
