25 Tips for Purposeful Career Planning
Another exception long read from FirstRound, collating input from startup leaders and CHRO’s on how to build your career plan. Can be read both ways - as an individual looking to optimise your chances and your choices, or as an employer thinking about internal mobility, employee well being and performance management.

Video Viewer Study 2021
We all know video is where it’s at but I feel that it is still peripheral rather than integral to the work recruiters do. Some statistics might help, so check out this report from TechSmith, the makers of Jing and Camtasia, on video viewer behaviour. Perhaps short form instructionals have a place in your content marketing strategy for 2022?

Scaling Teams Like Parallel Computing Systems
Scaling Teams Like Parallel Computing Systems
It is Amdahl’s Law on parallel processing, why it might explain why productivity does not scale with team size. The writing in this post could be more readable I think, but its is worth persevering for the value of the idea at root - that as the team grows, so do the co-ordination / communication challenges between team members.

12 Social Selling Statistics You NEED To Know For 2022
12 Social Selling Statistics You NEED To Know For 2022
This post would’ve benefited from stronger methodology and at least some referencing, but the thrust of the message is on point - we can and need to get better at using LinkedIn to build social capital. Improved candidate engagement, increased reach on job distribution, easier conversion - all will happen if we become better social sellers.

Well here’s the video of that Zoom call, which an enterprising employee on the other end managed to record; it’s only 3 minutes long and I recommend you watch it (mild profanity warning), and have a think about EB, employee well being and company culture whilst doing so.

Tulsa Remote Report
Tulsa Remote Report
Has anyone been to Tulsa? They were one of the very earliest places to think about ‘destination branding’ and in particular, the idea of relocating remote workers to the city. What sounds like a contradiction makes sense when you give a seconds thought - why do the same work in an expensive city when you could do it in more reasonable city for the same pay? 2021 report on progress, worth everyone’s time to read.

Redesigning Performance Management for a Hybrid Workplace
Redesigning Performance Management for a Hybrid Workplace
It’s all about being SMART folks - setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound objectives. This is a just good management, but in non-office environment, the requirement to be crystal clear on SMART has become decisively important. Good reminder of eternal management best practice.

Dan Luu again, with a companion piece to last week’s featured post ‘Individuals Matter’. This time, Dan applies his scrutiny to how and why company cultures matter, especially when making a job move. His blog is simply a must read
Bonus: includes a very handy back-of-envelope framework on how to create & maintain culture, right at the start of the post.

As cryptocurrencies ‘go on sale’ this week, it’s worthwhile having a think about other applications of blockchain which might have more direct relevance to our work. Here is a ‘big list’ (I miss those days!) of Decentralised Autonomous Organisations or DAO’s - for those who want a deeper dive.

Ethan Molick has been my favourite tweeter this year, with his style of crunching research papers no one is ever going to read into digestible tweet storms which everyone can read. This one - on the uselessness of too much information - has some obvious ramifications for recruitment.

End notes
It has been a busy few weeks, mainly on socialising I have to say and I had forgotten how expensive this city can really be. Still, it might be necessary to get used to spending money again, as so many industries in a big city like this, are dependent on food & entertainment consumption by the residents still here.
So DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you have any restaurant / bar / cafe recommendations I should check out - I need them as all the stuff I used to know is either closed or cliché.
Have a great week everybody.
