(Not yet! But…) Yes, I am on my winter break, but something interesting came along that I wanted to share with you. I am talking about ChatGPT, a new generation of intelligent AI chatbots, powered by the latest advancements in natural language processing and machine learning. I managed to get an account and have been…
In a recent article I wrote about LinkedIn’s Talent Conference, and shared that while only 14% of LinkedIn vacancies are remote, they receive 51% of all applications. A reader looked at the chart and noticed that the total number of remote vacancies was lower than a few months ago. Is remote working on its way…
I just came home from my vacation: I took my nephew on a graduation trip, – although two years later because of the pandemic – and he chose New York. This was his first time in North America. I’ve been to New York many times, and didn’t expect it to be a new experience. But…
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of keynoting the Landing.Jobs conference in Lisbon. As I was preparing my slides for the Tech Hiring Community, the news broke that the Dutch labor market now has 133 vacancies for every 100 unemployed people. In other words, even if we perfectly matched everyone, we would still…
It’s summer! Well, not officially but the weather here has been wonderful, and I’ve spent a lot of time outside. I work from home most days, and I schedule a longer lunch break so I can take a walk. I usually listen to podcasts during my walk: about technology, HR, pay and the metaverse. Also…
How payroll started Paying people used to be very simple: the employer paid the worker in cash or with a check. A direct relationship between 2 parties. Over time, as taxes and benefits were added, paying people became more complex and other parties joined. Payroll providers started to run payroll on behalf of employers, and…
Will Web3 change the way organizations are run? In my last article I introduced you to 3 important aspects of Web3, and DAO was first on the list. It’s a popular term, and you might even have heard it come up in the current war for the ownership of Twitter. It’s mentioned as an alternative…
What is the Creator economy? Or better, who are these creators? Well, I am one of them! Are you surprised? Don’t be! A creator is someone who earns revenue from their (digital) creations. They bring together a community of like-minded people through a variety of channels (newsletters, podcasts, videos, courses, events etc). Creators have fans…
When you see pictures of the metaverse at work, it looks like we will spend our workdays with a headset on while your avatar meets with other avatars in a virtual office. But I find that a bit too dystopian. What about you? And is that really what the metaverse will look like? So let’s…
“Start with the end user in mind.” If you’ve ever participated in a Design workshop, you have heard this sentence before. But do we really? As I sat in on a couple of HR solution demos this month, I asked myself this question. Because who really is the end user? For a long time, HR…
The Great Resignation. The Great Realization. The Great Reimagination. The Great Reassessment. The Great Reshuffle. The Great Enlightenment. You’ve seen the headlines and read the articles. Workers have had enough. They are exhausted and quitting their jobs. They leave the labor market and are not coming back. From now on, they work for themselves. It…
How it started I don’t remember when I first heard of NYU Stern Professor Scott Galloway but it must have been through one of his posts on social media. While I don’t always agree with his views, he’s thought provoking and never dull. Since then, I’ve subscribed to his no mercy/no malice newsletter and often…
