Check out our new blog post! By our very own, former recruiter and current blogger, Marusya Madubuko.

“As technology develops at a faster pace than ever before, it’s important to stay aware of the potential effects that it could have on the world, more specifically the HR world. I myself, am weary about the consequences AI could have if not monitored properly…. Still, AI use has now become almost second nature to many employees, with HR professionals’s AI usage surging from 58% in 2024, to 72% in 2025.”

As a former recruiter at Careernation, and current blogger/researcher, I am always interested in looking into how current trends and events impact the world of Human resources. As technology develops at a faster pace than ever before, it’s important to stay aware of the potential effects that it c...

"As we transition back to in-person and hybrid work, leaders need to focus on engaging employees while ensuring that they are still maintaining a work-life balance for the benefit of themselves, their companies, and their families." -- Kerry Flynn Bryant

Over the past year and a half, many employees have had the benefit of working remotely. Their families have gotten used to them being at home and having them around. Children have gotten used to their parents being home for meals and to help with homework. Spouses have adjusted to having another set...

"Around 35% of employed U.S. workers moved quickly to working from home as the pandemic spread in the spring of 2020. Now companies are starting to nail down remote-work policies for a future when vaccinations are widespread and fears about the virus recede. Many individuals have developed strong preferences, and they may be at odds with those of prospective employers."
(Lauren Weber; Wall Street Journal)

This question will almost certainly come up if the job you’ve applied for could conceivably be done remotely. Prepare as much as you can before the interview so you have a sense of what the company’s current policies are. And then approach the question with honesty and the expectation that, even...

"Digital Transformation Needs The Human-Centered Workplace"

"Data gathering and analytics, the “operating system” of digital transformation, is now essential to unlocking new value in every corner of a business." -- Eric Mosley

In Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, the character Mike Campbell is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually and then suddenly.” Business revolutions happen like that, and right now, we are in the middle of two simultaneous business revolutions. Digital transform...

Although it’s a new year, many aspects of 2020 we’d love to kiss goodbye to have carried over to 2021—yup, we’re still in a pandemic. Everyone I know has adjusted to remote work by now, finding new opportunities they did not have before, like turning on that Zoom Star Wars virtual background...

"With the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine, businesses are expected to start settling into a new normal. HR professionals say that, in addition to looking forward to seeing colleagues and operating in person again, they are optimistic about many new developments they embraced last year that likely will continue into 2021." (Kylie Ora Lobell)

"Change is coming, and it’s best to get a head start. Companies that can anticipate their organization’s future HR roles are not only in a position to outperform competitors, they are also squarely positioning HR as a strategic business driver."

--Jeanne C.Meister; Robert H.Brown; (HBR)

The Coronavirus has drastically reshaped the economy and the labor force. Since its rapid spread around the globe, we have experienced titanic shifts in how we work, where we work, and the technologies we use to stay connected.

“The most effective organizations onboard new hires for the duration of their first year — their most vulnerable period — and focus on three key dimensions: the organizational, the technical, and the social. By using this integrated approach, they enable their employees to stay, and to thrive.” (Ron Carucci, “To Retain New Hires, Spend More Time Onboarding Them;” Harvard Business Review)

We at CareerNation all know how much time, energy, and resources can go into the hiring process. According to LinkedIn, only 30% of companies are able to fill a vacant role within 30 days. I’m sure those who do not use the services of staffing/recruiting agencies also know when you and your team f...

-- Lisa Hash (Career Counselor at Strayer University)

Covid-19 is revolutionizing HR’s role.
