Don't Be a Piece of Paper

Sebastian Rapport

srapport_smDontBeAPieceOfPaperMatching the right people to the right companies and positions is one of the most difficult tasks job seekers and employers undertake.  William Sahlman, professor at Harvard Business School, once said that hiring is a 50% probability game and that hiring the wrong people can cost far more than the $500K research indicates, it can cost the whole company. Equally, for the job seeker, finding the wrong position creates a temporary high, but quickly diminishes into an unhappy and unhealthy life resulting in poor performance and ultimately, starting the search over again.

I cannot think of any hiring manager who enjoys interviewing new candidates – especially when you need someone right now. I don’t know about you, but after sifting and sorting through resumes, a little voice in the back of my mind says – I hope this next interview is "the one" – I don’t want to interview any more people.

Dan Cook

danmug2When educators who are looking for better ways to communicate discover Pixetell, they invariably react the way Jim Huntzicker and Ron Sakaguchi did: They get very excited by the possibilities.

Huntzicker and Sakaguchi are administrators at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, OR. Huntzicker serves as Head of the Division of Management. Sakaguchi is both Associate Dean for Research & Innovation and Professor of Biomaterials & Biomechanics at OHSU’s School of Dentistry.

 

Adora Svitak: World's Youngest Pixetell Adopter

Dan Cook

danmug3At age 12, Adora Svitak is already a veteran of the academic lecture circuit. This gifted young lady from the state of Washington earned the nickname, “World’s Youngest Teacher,” after she started teaching other students several years ago. Already a published author, Adora may also lay claim to the title, “World’s Youngest Pixetell Adopter.”

Adora was part of a group of academics who agreed to review Pixetell in late adora_svitak2009, and she effusively praised Pixetell for its simplicity of operation, its versatility and the seamless way it which it combines screen recording, video and voice to produce clear, engaging messages.

 

 

End web conference pain with multi-media screen recording solution

Bruce Carocci

bcarocciWe’ve all been there: Someone attempts to set up an important web conference. The emails go out on Day One, requesting participants’ availability. Time passes as emails go back and forth and scheduling slowly moves forward.

At last, a date and time are finally set.

Then these problems occur:

  • A key person cancels, and the scheduling starts all over again.
  • A key person who accepted the invitation never calls in. So you have to schedule a second session days later to get them up to speed.
  • A key person who accepted the invitation joins late or leaves early to address a priority that popped up that morning.
  • One or more of the attendees is at home or in a distant time zone and distracted so the meeting doesn’t accomplish the objective. And you don’t get a second chance.
 

A Little Holiday Hyperlens Cheer

Sebastian Rapport

srapport_smIn my last post I introduced the Pixetell Hyperlens. The Hyperlens allows you to put your webcam image inside a special frame that adds to the visual impact of your Pixetell.

We at Ontier are feeling the Holiday spirit and want to share a couple of our unofficial Holiday Hyperlenses with you.  We hope that you will spread the holiday cheer to some of your closest colleagues and friends.
