Not sure if there is a bunch of meaning behind compensation or benefit certifications, but those that I'm aware of are CCP (certified compensation professional), CBP (certified benefits professional), and SHRM (society of human resource managers). Experience in strategy, consulting, and analytics are a much more useful background as Total Rewards ends up pulling multiple levers (comp, benefits, retirement, etc.) to influence outcomes.

This is a tough question. Comp and Benefits doesn’t really exist on its own anymore like it used to. I think starting with courses around benefits and compensation is a must. Total Rewards will really depend on the company and what’s offered. I would advise on taking and certification courses on incentive programs, health and wellness programs, and become familiar with what all is included in Total Rewards to get your foot in the door.

Has anyone in talent acquisition used or currently using the tool Phenom? How so? Will be looking to discuss further with those who can share more on their experience. 

We are looking to create a queue-based interview system. Currently, we have coordinators whose tasks include coordinating and scheduling interviews. Each recruiter is tagged to a specific coordinator, which creates a lot of dependency. To eliminate this, we are considering introducing a queue system. We would also like to understand industry practices across different organizations. Any leads or ideas?

I’m looking for guidance or examples of effective High Potential (HiPo) development strategies in manufacturing environments where: - Upward mobility is limited due to lean org structures and long-tenured leadership - Work is deliverable-centered and production-driven, with limited room for flexible scheduling - The majority of HiPos are frontline or mid-level talent not positioned for near-term promotion How have others successfully engaged and developed HiPo talent under these constraints?
