Twitter is on a roll this week: they released TwitterSpaces to everyone with more than 600 followers, introduced a “think before you tweet something mean” feature, added images without cropping (not a fan) and gave early access to Tip Jar to selected people and Spaces hosts. Twitter is really focused on helping creators thrive: they…
If you have followed my Blockchain series, by now you have a good understanding of what DLT or blockchain is, and how it can be applied to the HR space, in particular to make payroll more secure, manage your personal data and speed up recruitment. Blockchain technology has some inherent features that can help build the next…
This, the third in a series of blogs I am writing looks at the role of Blockchain, otherwise known as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), can play in recruitment to benefit both employers and candidates. In the first blog, I introduced the basics of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), widely known as blockchain, and the positive effects it is set to have…

From July 15 to August 15 my experiment is to work completely in the cloud, and I’ll be using Google Apps for my daily tasks as much as possible. My colleagues challenged me to put some “skin in the game” so here it is: For every day that I don’t achieve my goal, I am…
