It has been several weeks since I separated from Greenspun Media Group and Recruiting Nevada. It is always satisfying to see a company you personally built continue on and serve its’ mission. Or at least part of it. RecruitingNevada.com was intended to be exclusive to Nevada based employers to retain our talent. The economy has changed substantially since we developed that mission.
I saw a job posting for the “Superintendent of the Hawaii Board of Education” on the job board yesterday. That is an impressive job to be advertising. Why Hawaii would be recruiting in Las Vegas bother me. I guess it is because we are considered the ninth island. Or the Hawaii Dept. of Ed hired a smart ad firm that knows Clark County is going through a search and decided to piggyback.
Anyway, nice to see such quality jobs on RecruitingNevada.com:
Fred Maryanksi, president of Nevada State College passed away on Friday, July 2, 2010. Dr. Maryanski was a true champion for education, and more importantly, Nevada State College. He took the reins of NSC in early 2005 and guided the college through the accreditation process and more impressively, the political mine field in Nevada education. I was fortunate enough to serve for Dr. Maryanksi on the Diversity Council of Nevada State College. It was amazing to watch his leadership skills and passion behind doing what was in the best interests of Nevada. Here are the local newspaper stories on Fred:
Rest in Peace Dr. Maryanski. We will miss you.
This is a scary report, if I ever saw one:
Thanks to Hugh Anderson for sharing.
The SHRM LINE® Employment Expectations Report for July 2010 was recently released. It appears we may be seeing some recovery. This is the second month in a row with ‘more than positive’ expectations. Las Vegas and Nevada will still lag behind the rest of the United States, but right now we’ll take the good news. Here are some of the key findings:
- Hiring expectations for the month of July are near a three-year high
- High-level talent is getting harder to find
