EOTO






 When I read about this EOTO (each one teach one) assignment, I actually got pretty excited. I started a new job this week at a talent acquisition firm. So during my whole first week of training so far we have been using a piece of technology called Bullhorn. I had never heard of it until I started, but since it is something I am currently using I thought it would be a great idea to inform my professor and others about it! For my role as a recruiting specialist, I use Bullhorn every day to help me locate candidates in my talent pool and match the right jobs to them. Without this application, myself and my co- workers would not be able to do our job. Of course I am barely scratching the surface of what this application can truly offer, so I will start from the beginning. In 1999, Bullhorn was founded. It was created by Roger Colvin, Barry Hinckley and Art Papas. When it was first created, Bullhorn was used as a platform for freelancers to find work and collaborate. But in 2001, they changed up Bullhorn to be more of a CRM platform (customer relationship management. Now, Bullhorn in technical terms provides software as a service to third party staffing and recruiting firms. The headquarters is based in Boston, Massachusetts and has a current revenue of 219.9 million dollars. Not only is Bullhorn a customer relationship management platform, but it also works as an applicant tracking system (ATS) as well. To say the least, this software has changed the game of staffing and recruiting. It makes everything we need to do for our jobs possible and just a click away. Of course I am no pro at using this device yet, I am slowly making leaps and bounds every day through the online enrollment and training classes. Realistically when this software was created, it wasn’t made to “correct” or “fix” how the recruiting industry did work. It was created to expedite our process and allow us to make more money for our firms faster than people who had done our job in the past before. It literally does everything. Helps us create ads for future candidates to get in touch with us, allows us to create structured schedules for our daily tasks, exchange information with co workers about clients and candidates in a breeze, etc. When it comes to changing ways we communicate, it just makes things simpler and more effective. I can contact any of my coworkers, clients and candidates through Bullhorn. Not only that but it keeps tracks of all of records when it comes to even the simplest tasks like just a regular quality control call to a client. Again, I had no idea what a CRM was until this week! But I couldn't imagine doing the job I’m doing now without it. Of course it is always a pain learning how to work a new software. But I am taking it one day at a time. In no time I will have the hang of this application perfectly! Hope you enjoyed learning something new about a software some of my peers in class could be using after graduation if they take the same work route as I have!

In the Age of AI

 For class, we had to watch a video on Artificial intelligence. Of course I have heard about artificial intelligence, but I have not really done much research on it myself. I never really understood the idea of how artificial intelligence would work. But the video started out explaining how artificial intelligence really works through the coding of deep learning. Deep learning is where the computer is given a specific goal and is given many experiences and trials of how it can complete that goal, in the end making it to that goal in ways a human could not even think of. Overall, there are some positives when it comes to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence in the realms of medicine is going to be a huge help in the future. Not only will it make it easier for the doctor to process information and data, it can start by helping in early detection when it comes to cancers. In terms of national security with the use of artificial intelligence, I believe there are pros and co...

Our Relationship with Technology

     This week, my weekly screen time on my cell phone is down 43%. With a daily average of 2 hours and 51 minutes. To be honest I am disappointed that my daily average is that high. And that’s 43% down? Incredible… I am always trying to make sure my phone screen time gets lower and lower every week. It is tough to do that though since my job incorporates me being on my phone making calls. But I want the best of both worlds. I want to be free of technology while still being able to get anything I want at the touch of my fingers. I know, that doesn’t really make sense now does it? I do appreciate everything technology has given me. Access to any information I want. Updates on current events in an instant. Knowing where a gas station is whenever I need gas, I am truly thankful. But I am always wary on technology having a negative effect on my life. I want to appreciate the life I have in front of me instead of wasting my days away on my cell phone or laptop.   ...

BLOG POST #2

Reading the article about the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) definitely gave me more incite into a topic I need to learn more about. To begin with, this article was full of facts I never knew about. First off, I always thought that you could only serve as a justice for a specific amount of time, kind of like how our President can only serve for a max of 8 years (that is if they get re-elected for a second term). Learning that a justices can serve for however long they want, unless they get impeached, really puts emphasis on why Presidents care so much about who holds a seat. The most important take away point I learned about the Supreme Court is that this judicial system has the power to make changes to very important laws in our country, whether for better or worse. Some great cases the Supreme Court has had to make improvements to our country are: Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) which legalized same sex marriage across all 50 states, and Mapp v Ohio (1961) which held that ...
