Recruiter Ethics
By: Christine Hirsch


Matching skilled candidates with employers is part of the excitement of being a recruiter. Staffing professionals have the power to a make a significant impact on company performance and individual lives just by doing their everyday jobs. However, working as an intermediary between corporations and candidates, recruiters can sometimes encounter ethical "grey areas." To navigate these grey areas, recruiters should establish and abide by a set of principles of right conduct.
In this article we flush out the major issues in recruitment ethics and provide guidelines to help facilitate ethical industry practices.

There are many ethical dimensions within the relationships between recruiters, candidates, client companies, and competing firms. Sharing pertinent information, being forthright about promises, maintaining confidences and providing timely feedback are of the utmost importance in maintaining solid business relationships. However, grey areas in recruiting abound. Once a candidate is placed, the business transaction is finished. Recruiters make decisions and may not have to live with the consequences.

Managing Employee Identities: Not Just an IT Issue
By: Christine Hirsch

Among new technologies making a splash in today's workplace are innovations in employee identity management. Though traditionally the domain of IT, HR departments are taking a more active interest in the provisioning and assignment of user identities. Increased security interests across the organization, combined with a drive to conserve resources and boost ROI, are drawing attention to a new 'best in class' in identity provisioning solutions.

What is identity provisioning? Not a new term, provisioning refers to the assignment and management of user identities and access permissions across the organization. When a new employee joins a company there are several accesses that much be assigned to him or her: email accounts, ERP access, building access, remote-access networking, firewalls, etc. Likewise, when an employee changes positions or leaves the organization, the employee's access set must be changed or eliminated.
