Five questions from HR Florida
We are slightly more than halfway through 2011. What one thing has occupied most of your time this year?
The year has been spent meeting with companies, leaders and HR practitioners to discuss their Candidate Experience culture.
Looking at the human resources field, where do you see the greatest opportunity right now?
Improving the quality of Candidate Experience for every company.
How has social media impacted you as an HR professional?
I consistently am introduced to HR leaders in our space, the world has opened up to the infinite knowledge available to share.
Who is influencing your thinking right now? (from any direction or field)
Tony Hsieh of Zappos is completely influencing my thinking right now. I can’t wait to hear him speak at HR Florida!
Animal, vegetable, or mineral, and why?(the quirky question!)
Mineral: I just returned from Hawaii where the landscape is sparkled with Peridot and its just gorgeous.
