Transactions like Monday’s announcement of Iowa’s PeopleWorks Staffing acquiring Nebraska’s Work-a-While happen every day in the staffing industry, but there’s a few details that make this deal particularly unique. For one, it involves a third-generation staffer buying his grandfather’s old firm. For another, the impetus [...]

Normally I get back from the annual American Staffing Association conference and flesh out here five or so of the hottest memes offered up by the staffing industry captains. No need for that this year. There was only one subject that dominated nearly every conversation. [...]
Ok maybe this isn’t the time to mention it, but stop by the TempWorks booth at Staffing World for a look at the latest generation of our Mobile Staffing Software. For the software designer’s perspective of mobile staffing, read this form our CTO, Paul [...]
Does anyone make software harder to use than Apple? For all the grief Microsoft gets for requiring reboots, it’s the Mac that constantly interrupts for such nonsense. I took my kids to see The Social Network yesterday. Loved it. I admire Zuckerberg for believing [...]
This is a video of the TempWorks developers, Pete Klein and Andy Cohen, behind our new generation of application portal products that we will be unveiling at the HR Technology show in Chicago this week. The guys did a tremendous job on a [...]
Far too many young software CEOs have fallen away from important values like arrogance. Instead, they’ve adopted an alien creed of extroversion. They’ve hosted parties. Dated girls. Played soccer. Led pep rallies. Worked in sales. Been in a mature relationship. Sautéed foie gras. And so [...]
As the anointed enfant terrible of the upcoming HR Technology 2010 conference (Sept 28-30, Chicago), I’m ready to sling a little more mud at my fellow vendors. Not really. Meeting fellow vendors is what I like most about the show. I’d go so far as [...]

One of the biggest misconceptions about products advertised as “SaaS” is that they eliminate your need for software. So deep is this misconception that one of the biggest purveyors of a SaaS product, Salesforce.com, succeeds in advertising itself as “No Software” without being called on [...]
The best marketing people wake up every day thinking, how can I generate more business for my company. That obviously is true of staffing, yet most staffing companies haven’t begun to tap into modern lead generation tools. Instead, they confuse marketing with sales or even [...]
I’ve never liked mission statements. In fact, I used to be #1 or #2 on Google for “Why I hate mission statements”, a ranking I was quite proud of. There’s something about them, a syrupy lack of substance that sits in my stomach like a [...]
The race card. Religion. Fraud. All that’s missing from this case is sex. Still, it’s an interesting read. According to the Denver Post, a trial is set for January stemming from a 2009 grand jury indictment charging David Banks and other defendants related to the [...]
He’s no threat to Paul Bunyan, but software developer Niels Hartvig has got style. Fed up with Apple’s abuse of its early adopters, Niels hacked away his frustration. And I like the way he runs his company, Umbraco, too. He gets transparency and posts the [...]

Ever heard the old saying, “everyone should learn to play an instrument?” How about “everyone should learn how to speak a second language?” These self-betterment arguments have a modern equivalent, which is that everyone should learn how to code. I see it everywhere. Steve Jobs [...]
We’ve had the privilege to share Scott Wintrip’s wisdom several times on Staffing Talk over the years, and today we’ve got another gem from the staffing consultant guru. I attended one of Scott’s breakout sessions at Staffing Industry Analysts’ Executive Forum back in March, and [...]
My eight-year-old son and I were doing some landscaping in our yard one day when he paused, looked up at me through squinted, sweat-soaked eyes, and said, “Dad, wouldn’t it be great if we never had to work?” To be honest, I can’t say I’ve [...]
