2022 Edelman Trust Barometer Global Report
2022 Edelman Trust Barometer Global Report
One of the annual must reads, Edelman’s Trust Barometer makes sobering reading, especially with the decline of trust in media and government in democratic societies. Worth noting where businesses place here, and it becomes more understandable why so many companies are building their own media departments. Some EB stuff here, and a report you can definitely share with your C-level.

Great to see recruitment agencies build useful tools. Morgan McKinley’s 2022 Salary Report (downloadable here too) is converted into an online salary calculator for both employers and job seekers to get a general benchmark on pay rate. Check it out here. H/T brainfooder Amela Bajric for the share

New LinkedIn 3000 Character Limit for Posts
New LinkedIn 3000 Character Limit for Posts
When did this change? I had no idea but it seems like it is an important expansion of opportunity for content marketers here. 1300 characters was generally enough for most of my posts, but with 3000 now you can absolutely write an essay via LinkedIn posts. What do you plan to do with the extra space?

We have a great conversation on Brainfood Live last Friday on ‘setting salary for remote teams’. One of our viewers (thanks Pavania!) shared a notion page on how her company does it. Now as Pavania works as a Total Rewards Analyst for Remote, it is probably worth paying attention to this document.

10 HR Trends for 2022: From Adaptation to Transformation
I missed this predictions post from the legendary Tom Haak last year and so I want to bring it to your attention here. So many things to like about this - it is deeply thoughtful, well referenced, provides guides for both further action and links for further reading. It’s probably the best predictions post I’ve read for a single author, so have a read, here.

Interesting take from the ever interesting brainfooder Jan Tegze, who attempts to get into the mind of the LinkedIn fakers and ask….why? Reasonable explainer here, as well as some how-to tips to avoid being scammed on everyone’s favourite social network.

I Think I Know Why You Can’t Hire Engineers Right Now
I Think I Know Why You Can’t Hire Engineers Right Now
I do like it when non-recruiters write about recruiting - there’s always a chance they will tell you something you don’t know. New idea here for making your job more attractive to engineers is surprisingly - predictability. i.e how sure are we this thing we are working on is going to ship? Good observations throughout this highly readable post. Must read for tech recruiters

The Future of Work is Not Corporate — It's DAOs and Crypto Networks
The Future of Work is Not Corporate — It's DAOs and Crypto Networks
As crypto takes a nose dive this past week, it is worth taking a moment to think beyond the asset value of currencies like Bitcoin. The greater promise of blockchain is decentralisation of the organisation of human labor. Probably no greater convert to DAO’s than Andreesen Horowitz, which not only backs the likes of Coinbase and OpenSea, but also claims to have converted itself into a DAO. This is a good overview of their thesis and a fair overview of the concept. H/T to brainfooder Pedro Oliveira for the share.

11 Recruiter Tactics to Smash 2022
Mr Greg Savage has been knocking it out of the park recently with his content production. These start-of-the-year summaries are great. Particularly good on candidate experience and in client selection. Agency focused but relevant to anyone doing the recruiting job.

You are always going to get something interesting from brainfooder Jose Kadlec. This provocatively titled sourcing handbook is deeply technical and definitely veering into grey hat territory. I am not sure how many of us are going to use this - or even if we should - so lets understand this as a decent training exercise for cultivating the sourcing mindset.

Mental Models: The Best Way to Make Intelligent Decisions (~100 Models Explained)
Mental Models: The Best Way to Make Intelligent Decisions (~100 Models Explained)
I’m categorising this into ‘assessment’ as we might most obviously apply some of these mental models to better assess candidates for hire, but this post really is about how we can improve our thinking in any context. Drawing from concepts from maths, physics, chemistry, biology and more, it’s an extraordinary collection. Read it, you’ll get smarter

No Signs Yet of a Tech Texodus
Can social policy influence the availability of local talent? And if so, how significant is this effect? The politicisation of the abortion debate in the US produces further potential challenges in an already short candidate market. Fascinating story to follow.

SAP Challenge by Deloitte
SAP Challenge by Deloitte
Welcome to the first SAP Challenge organized by Deloitte! You will have 15 minutes to give the correct answer to 15 questions.
Interesting innovation from Deloitte, who came up with a recruiting solution for SAP roles they were looking to hire - combine the advert with the assessment. Reminds me of what Toggl do on their careers page. It’s smart thinking for hard-to-hire skills. H/T to brainfooder Symon Irving for the share in the fb group.

Some quick tips: assertions are better than questions, help people make money and don’t make people think too hard. Surprising how much of this advice applies to content curation generally, though I think I am trying to make us all think just a little bit harder 🤣.

WEF with their annual Global Risk Report. It’s all relevant to us, but especially for entrepreneurs who need to think strategically as well as operationally. Its 100 pager, but scannable and some obvious parts which directly apply to us (i.e chapter on migration). Download it, bookmark it.

It’s probably an unfair stereotype that weirdly wonderful things happen in the Land of the Rising Sun but there does seem to be a decent body of evidence 🤣. Cool story, maybe a work of art.

Assimilation is Not Necessary
Kind of is, to be honest, but you’re going to have to listen to whole thing to get the context. My good friend brainfooder Joanne Lockwood asked me to come back to her podcast and we talk about stuff I usually don’t talk about. Have a listen here.

End notes
I’m still in London folks, and the next couple of weeks are starting to look hyper busy. Lots of companies, doing lots of things - good signs I hope, that good things will be happening in the industry. This adds urgency to my need to get into shape - I doubt if I’m in optimal physical condition to handle the increase in workload 🤣
Anyway, I bought this smartwatch from Withings. I like it so I am going to promote it, check it out here. DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok with your fitness routine…
Have a great week everybody.
