Staffing Talk is sponsored by TempWorks Staffing Software and Payroll Funding
From the category archives:
“Would you like some payroll funding with your bratwurst?” I actually got to ask that question today. We’ve been doing these lunchtime cookouts on the smoker’s patio at TempWorks for years, and sometimes a fellow tenant will wander by and join us. One that did [...]
I don’t talk enough about one of my early co-authors, Bill Breen, who, besides being an inspiration to me, did several of the first implementations of TempWorks and authored modules like WorkerComp. Bill moved on from TempWorks more than ten years ago and became an [...]
Alisha Arnold, our peripatetic TempWorks trainer, does amazing things. On those rare weeks where she isn’t in Bangor or San Diego, she’s back at TempWorks finding ways to make it easier than ever to train users. She recently published a document devoted solely to the [...]
Few things gain a chuckle from a visiting client like the TempWorks “Wall of Shameful Code” where we mercilessly heap abuse onto errant developers. Sadly – or happily as I will gladly explain – my name figures prominently several of those sheets. Sadly, because it’s [...]
Recruiters looking to work beyond the office have yet one more option for staying connected to their clients and candidates with the increasingly popular Android. TempWorks Mobile (twMobile) which has been equipped with Iphone and standard smartphone interfaces for some time pushed out a beta [...]
Today I got the sad news that Martin Wieczorkowski, the former Director of Information Technology at Manpower San Jose, passed away. Martin was a great friend and a great client, and it’s an understatement to say he was instrumental in nurturing TempWorks during its startup [...]
Do you like speed? I mean for you is HDTV a different experience for you than TV? Then you’re probably going to like what the upcoming 4G wireless network technology will do you for your mobile phone apps. When it comes to mobile staffing software, [...]
Content is king, everybody knows. So should you run your corporate website on the king of content management systems, WordPress? That’s the question we asked ourselves when I first began working with our in-house designer, Pete Klein, a few months ago on ways we could [...]
If you’ve been in a busy staffing office, you know that it is a very social place. So in the last few months I’ve written about virtually every social software trend out there from Twitter to Facebook to Four Square and how they impact [...]
A decade ago TempWorks went up against Peoplesoft in a battle for the business of some bigger staffing companies. We almost always lost. I have some pet albeit self-serving reasons for that not the least of which was that the people doing the deciding had [...]
Most staffing professionals not only understand what proper follow-up means, they live and breathe it. They couldn’t survive in this industry if they didn’t. But following-up at an individual level is not enough. Leading staffing companies have built enterprise follow-up and task management into their [...]
Good follow-up is the most under-rated business skill. Sensational presentations get all the hype, but far more often the other p’s – Patience, Perspiration, Prioritization – that win out, especially in staffing. So I love posts by Dalyce Brell, TempWorks VP of Corporate Training, like [...]
While out in San Francisco, Chris Brogan let slip a comment about mobile phone apps in his closing keynote that has had me thinking. Paraphrasing, he said that mobile apps are better as a rule than they’re desktop counterparts because they’re simpler. Imagine that for [...]
Do you ever feel like Sherlock Holmes? OK, so you probably don’t go around with a meerschaum pipe or hunting cap. But as a systems analyst at TempWorks, you’ll need to use your inquisitiveness, technical expertise and deductive reasoning to crack our most important case: [...]
It’s maybe a sign of the recovery. Our hit rate on Google for staffing and recruiting startup related searches is going through the roof. What to do? We decided to get personal, that in this world of everything being virtual that the best thing would [...]
As of April 6, 2010, we have five open reqs at TempWorks for software developers. Here’s the job description from our career page: SOFTWARE ENGINEER No one should have to work in a vacuum. You know, with all that pesky dust and lint. Luckily, as [...]
Adeel Dar has been a part of the TempWorks family for about a year, coming on board in March 2009 as a Support Center Specialist. As a Support Center Specialist, Adeel helps customers with any issues that they are having with the software, from WebCenter [...]
If there were Oscars for business software, who would win best-dressed? The conventional wisdom would go with Apple or Google based apps, not Microsoft. In fact most design buffs pay little attention to Microsoft’s MIX designer conference that it holds each year in Las Vegas. [...]
Naked man runs for the woods at a music festival and falls, fractures his spinal column and the staff move him from the woods. The naked man was Daniel Weaver, of Hudson, N.Y., who was paralyzed from the chest down during last summer’s All Good [...]
Wouldn’t it be great to get a call from someone who wants you? An employer who invites you to leave your present career position and go work for them? It’s fun to do the recruiting, but it would also be nice to be the one [...]
How can a staffing firm engage its employees, raise its profile and help make its community a more vibrant place? Teaming up with nonprofits is one way. Partnerships between staffing firms and nonprofits can take many forms. Sometimes a staffing firm works with one nonprofit, [...]
“Neither candidates, nor companies, really know exactly what they want,” opines Bob Norton, a former business analyst turned information systems search and placement firm founder. “From the client side, it’s figuring out the business problem they have, not the laundry list of skills they think [...]
How do you know how good the company is that you are using to perform background checks? If you use a company that has botched the job bad enough you might hear from the authorities, and/or see your company on the evening news. That’s what [...]
