		<title>Organizational Success: People vs. Hedgehogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, I heard someone say that the success of their organization is directly attributed to the people within the organization.

		<title>Increase Employee Engagement and Productivity- ALWAYS Disclose Salary Range</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer:  I like and respect the opinions and writings of Bob Corlett on his blog, The Staffing Advisor.  I believe Corlett has tremendous insight and experience combined with a talent for writing succinct, pithy, and relevant content (and here&#8217;s the impending &#8216;BUT&#8217;), but I couldn&#8217;t disagree more with is perspective on whether or not to disclose salary <a href='http://jasonblais.com/increase-employee-engagement-and-productivity-always-disclose-salary-range/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Business Line Executives, the Real Employment Branding Stakeholders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not too long ago, I sat down with a business that was looking to utilize an employment branding strategy to develop a strong candidate pool around a specific business line. What was particularly interesting about this meeting, was that the initial conversations weren&#8217;t with HR or Recruiting, but rather the VP and Manager of the <a href='http://jasonblais.com/business-line-executives-the-real-employment-branding-stakeholders/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
