Angel investing, once the exclusive province of multi-millionaire high-rollers, has now entered the mainstream, with more than $20 billion being invested annually by individual investors in the US alone. Contrary to popular belief, access to these high risk/high return investments-and success in startup investing-doesn't have to be a matter of luck or connections. David's new book, Angel Investing: The Gust Guide to Making Money & Having Fun Investing in Startups shows how smart investors with the right strategy and a long-term perspective can achieve annual returns of 25 percent or more from a well-designed angel portfolio.

Welcome to a Career Strategy Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio, with Peter Clayton reporting. In today's interview, we're going to spend most of our time with Cindy discussing Facebook, but we'll get into Twitter and LinkedIn as well. If you use Facebook for marketing your company or services, this interview is for you! Be prepared to take notes.

Our guest today on a Big Picture Channel Podcast is Nathan Gibson, Vice President of Payrolling and Contractor Solutions at Randstad Sourceright. Nathan wrote an article for the May issue of HRO Today Magazine titled Declaring Independent Workers. As Nathan noted in his article, "Federal and state regulators are focused on independent contractors for a number of reasons." Tune-in now for an in-depth understanding of "why?".

His presentation was a hit with the iTalent Competition Judges -- Joberate came in first place. Visit his feature page in the HR Technology Channel of totalpicture.com for a complete transcript of this interview and other resource links.

Here's Bill Kutik's headline that got my attention: "The next era of recruiting automation is arriving. "Edge application" functionality is no longer hanging off old applicant-tracking systems, but is slowly being moved to the center by at least three major vendors. Workday, Cornerstone OnDemand and Ultimate have all recently announced new recruiting systems or the latest version of a young one."

Gene Zaino's presentation at the recent HRO Today Forum was titled The War for Top Talent: Navigating New Work Arrangements - And I want to share with the audience the call-outs from his first slide: 17.7 million independent workers, 24 million forecasted by 2018

It's not often a large Fortune 500 company is willing to share real data related to their hiring strategies. That's one reason I was impressed with our guest today from the Recruiting Trends Conference.

"I liken our organization to a small city. We recruit for security officers, cooks, nurses, financial professionals, athletic coaches, fundraising professionals, research assistants, I've even recruited for chaplains in our office of religious life." Loretta O'Connor

"Leadership is about setting a direction. Its' about creating a vision, emposering and inspiring people to want to achieve the vision and enabling them to do so with energy and speed through a effective strategy. In it's most basic sense, leadership is about mobilizing a group of people to jump into a better future."

Welcome to a Career Strategy podcast on TotalPicture Radio, this is Peter Clayton reporting. Joining me today from Alexandria, Va is Evren Esen director of Survey Programs at SHRM. She oversees the development and production of surveys and polls on HR and business topics through SHRM’s Research area which releases data from approximately 30 research findings each year.

Welcome to a Leadership Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio. I’m here to tell you that podcasts have the shelf life of a Twinkie. And we have living proof on the show today! One of the most popular interviews I’ve ever recorded on TotalPicture Radio was with Bob Sutton — recorded in 2007, the two-part interview is still live on totalpicture.com — the book and concept we discussed — The No Asshole Rule was a major best seller — and one major publisher refused to publish the book because Bob refused to change the title. I’m glad he did.

Much of this book focuses on building relationships, building teams, and how to hire great people. HR leaders and recruiters will find a fresh approach to the recruiting process, including tools like the Recruiting Brief which will give you the mindset of a senior executive and what is most important from a leaders perspective when assessing candidates, including mission/responsibilities, strengths, motivation, and fit. As with his past books, First Time Leader is really a workbook, including many downloadable tools and forms such as The Recruiting Brief.
