Momentum is the strength or force that allows something to continue to grow stronger or faster over time. We tend to think of momentum in the context of objects – such as the rock gained momentum as it rolled downhill.

By: Anna Peters (with College Recruiter ). Your interviews are probably more unstructured than they should be.

One of the things I love about my health insurance company is that they offer webinars and workshops to both members and the community. I’ve been able to get the latest info from a doctor about the Zika virus. They also hold nutrition workshops. Recently, I attended a Deskercise workshop (aka activities we can do at our desk). Because I work from home, I’m very conscious of the need to get active.

Candidates have options and aren’t desperate to fill your job openings. That’s the mindset you need to take in order to create better hiring processes.
