Brillants en entretien, médiocres en entreprise : comment (vraiment) rationaliser le recrutement ?

Par L'Atelier de l'Emploi. 50 000 €, tel serait le montant exorbitant induit par une erreur de recrutement. Pour éviter ce coûteux impair, de nouveaux outils d’analyse visent à compléter les procédures traditionnelles. Pour faire mieux ?
Ces nouveaux outils ont également pour ambition de répondre à une autre difficulté bien connue des recruteurs : estimer la performance professionnelle d’un candidat à partir d’une simple prestation en entretien. Beaucoup de postulants séduisants en entretien s’avèrent en effet décevants une fois en entreprise. Suite...

The New York Times today reports that The Future of Privacy Forum, a D.C. think tank committed to promoting responsible data practices, has a pledge on offer to vendors in the K-12 space that use student information, including education records.

Being a Utility Player

By Lee Skallerup Bessette. Baseball playoffs are here, and while I don’t watch it anymore (RIP Expos) except to see who wins the World Series, I still think a lot in terms of the different roles that players have within the dynamic of the team. The utility player, particularly in baseball, is someone who is essential to the success of a team, but often goes unsung within the popular mythos of a team’s success. Read more...

Low-Residency

By Steven Mintz. For the fastest growing student demographics, traditional face-to-face education often proves unrealistic.
Non-traditional students, who may have to juggle jobs and family responsibilities while also financing their schooling, frequently find it difficult to take a full-load of courses on a college campus. More...

Sustainability's not a subject

By G. Rendell. A correspondent recently drew my attention to an article from a venerable student-run newspaper. We were having a conversation about how best to include issues of sustainability into university strategic planning processes. My interlocutor intended the article to demonstrate the differing cultures between faculty and student bodies, and how those cultures could be expected to clash during strategic planning discussions.

The Reader Has No Clothes

By Barbara Fister. Chances are, you've heard the troubling news that the new version of Adobe Digital Editions is a privacy train wreck. Nate Hoffelder broke the news at The Digital Reader. The two key issues (apart from the fact that this software transmits an awful lot of data to the mothership about what exactly you are reading, including which pages you read and at what IP address) is that it hunts for all of the ebook files on your reading device and sends information about them to Adobe.

Math Geek Mom: Math and Computer Skills

By Rosemarie Emanuele. If you ask my daughter, she will tell you that I am old. I mean, really old. In fact, I am so old that I don’t really understand her “ipod”. I also admit that I am not instantly comfortable with whatever new Learning Management System our college may decide to use this year. But, if I had to, I could run a regression with a limited dependent variable, one in which the dependent variable takes on only particular values, such as zero or one, or a continuum of values that are truncated at zero.

A Matter of Degree

By Herman Berliner. I was dusting my laminated diplomas a few days ago and was reminded that neither my bachelor’s degree nor my PhD has a major listed on it. In both cases, the field was economics; I never missed having the major area listed but I also would not have minded having the field listed on both. Read more...
