#Onboarding at PepsiCo

Onboarding with RecruiterGuyWow – what a ride.  My first 30 days at PepsiCo have been the busiest and most travel-heavy 30 days I’ve experienced in a long time.  I’ve worked directly with a workforce more diverse in their ideas, backgrounds, and cultures than I’ve ever met collectively within any single organization.  I’ve pitched new ideas that, as I write this, are already in production.  I’ve bounced crazy thoughts to teams that have increased the crazy (and awesome) factor exponentially – and were as excited as I was to play with the possibilities.  And while I realize I’m still in the honeymoon phase of my new employment – all this has come at the low, low cost of looking like a gushing fanboy for a calendar month.

“Refreshing” Change

Wow – where do I start?  For those of you that know me (or that follow my ramblings) you likely know that I’ve been with AT&T for going on 10 years.  In fact, I started as a contract recruiter with AT&T 10 years ago on June 1st.  It’s been a challenging and equally rewarding ride over the last decade – and I’ve had the opportunity to do things on a much grander scale than I would have Continue Reading…

Top 25 Online Influencers

It’s always an honor to be recognized for the work we do – and I’d be lying if I told you that it’s not kind of fun (and funny) when we see our names make a list of nearly any kind.  But it’s humbling when we have the fortune to make a listing with peers and colleagues that we have a tremendous amount of respect for and that is based on the work and influence we own.  Well… it is for me, anyhow.

Recently HRExaminer released a listing of who they felt were the Top 25 Online Influencers in Talent Management.  And while I was intrigued that I’d made this list, I think I was more impressed with my friends and peers that I’d been grouped with.  You can check out the article on Continue Reading…

Chicken Pluckin Expert

Today I present to you an expert Chicken Plucker.  Said expert will tell you not only the best way to pluck a chicken, but also how to find the best chickens to pluck.  In addition, our professional Chicken Plucker can speak at great lengths – anywhere you need them – on any level of chicken hunting, handling and even measuring the value of the activities in this specialized skill set.  They have, after all, been branded an expert – and because of this you should immediately trust them and everything they say to be nothing less than the gospel.

They’ve got credibility because they have a podium, website or blog.  You may even find this expert Chicken Plucker booked to speak on a webinar or at a conference near you and if they speak with enough authority or show you enough fancy charts you might never ask them how many chickens they have themselves plucked.  You might even fail to realize that this expert Chicken Plucker has not only spent their professional career simply watching and critiquing the works of others, but that they’ve neither plucked a chicken nor even seen a live one.

This is where we all should say, “ Continue Reading…
