Learn How
to Throw a Boomerang
By Lucia Apollo Shaw
 Actually,
“the boomerang effect” is a relatively new trend of
inviting back talented former employees into the fold.
Surveys indicate 12% of employers cautiously admit
they would re-hire ex-employees (alumni). An additional
21% say they welcome back alumni without hesitation
because of the time and dollar savings. In fact, the
Gartner Group estimated that in 2003, 60% of midsize to
large companies will have routinely hired back former
employees.
Here are three simple strategies you can consider to
reclaim lost talent swiftly:
- Keep your alumni on your press release
distribution list. Keep them in the loop!
- Send current and former employees alike a list of
your job openings, departmental news and
announcements, and other events related to changing
human capital needs.
- Invite alumni to company picnics, holiday parties,
and other casual, festive events. Don't ostracize them
but make every effort to maintain harmonious,
open-door relationships.
Remember, your former people are going to talk either
way.
Why not help your own cause?

Site Of The Week
RetiredBrains.com
As employers start to
staff up in the months to come, many are not interested
in hiring full-time employees until they feel certain
that they will be able to keep
them. The costs of recruiting, on-boarding and then
letting workers go if business does not remain strong is
a risk employers do not wish to take.
Hiring temporary or
part-time workers is often an good alternative. Hiring
retirees is an excellent way to fill part-time and
temporary positions with experienced and reliable
people.
Posting openings
appropriate for seniors on RetiredBrains.com is free.
When the posting tools
asks for a credit card iust enter RBFREE in the card
number space and your job(s) will be posted at no
charge.
Call Chris Billetz
215-675-1800 ext 139. If you have any problems or wish
to more
easily post a large number of jobs.

apologies...next week we will roll up our sleeves and do
some more research to find more employment related
jokes.
If anyone has any good
employment related funnies - email them to me at brian@recruitersnetwork.com.
