Question by Isaac Dust: When people talk about “Urban Crime” are they really just saying “Black Crime”?
Here in London nearly all gun crime, knife crime and street mugging is done by male black youths.
The label “Urban Crime” is bandied around on television/radio/internet news reports and the government responds by throwing money at “programs aimed at helping disaffected urban youth” but in the same way that in the West “All Muslims are not Terrorists; but All Terrorists ARE Muslims” (with the exception of the Basque seperatists ETA), is it true that “All Urban Youth are not Black, but All Urban Crime IS?”
What’s your thinking on why many urbanites are poor but only one section seems to be resorting to violence?
An amazingly comprehensive answer RADISH, thank you. But I think you miss the point. Perhaps I should have qualified my original statement by saying terrorism in the UK in the last 10 years, and knife/gun crime in the UK in the last 10 years.
Such is the problem of the latter that the police have “Operation Trident” – a hugely resourced arm of the UK police dealing with Black gun crime.
But thank you for your answer anyway.

Mmmm… urban reminds me of “inner city.” Here in the states inner city is populated by blacks. If that’s the case with urban in the UK, then yes. If not, you might be reading too much into it.

When, Where And How Do You Find The People You Need?

The war for talent is still very real.

The global financial crisis will impact how businesses attract, retain, develop and manage people, especially in the financial services industry.  Based on our specialist experience, research and observations, we can say with confidence that:

Skill shortages will continue; The best and brightest employees will be the first to start looking for other opportunities if they are feeling insecure; and There are massive opportunities right now for those businesses that know how to apply best practice people management to attract and retain the best talent.

 

How do you know when it’s the right time to hire for your business?  There are some signs.  If you can’t keep up with your paperwork, don’t have enough time for seeing clients, spend too much time working ‘in’ the business and your income isn’t growing, it’s probably time to look at your options for getting more people on board.

Your organisational structure and job descriptions are the starting point for recruitment.  But before you start your hiring process, be sure you need to recruit! 

When you have a clear picture of who you want and on what terms, it’s time to source some candidates.  But where do you find them?

A recent Kelly Services global survey that provides some relevant data.  The majority of Australians surveyed (54%) found their most recent job online, 9% found work as a result of a direct approach to an employer, 9% from a newspaper advertisement, 8% from a direct call from an employer or recruiter, and 7% through other methods.  Online recruitment was considered by candidates to be a better way to find a job, with 83% pleased with the outcome compared with 51% for traditional written and posted applications.

You can check out job websites for economical online advertising, but don’t be tempted by just the ease and economy.  Before you use any form of advertising, be certain it is placed where your target candidates are likely to be looking and that your advertisement is very specific in terms of your requirements.  Anything less is a waste of time and money.  The same guidelines apply when you use a recruitment agency.

One of the most effective ways to find candidates who ‘stick’ is to let others in your business networks know that you are in the market for a new employee.  They can become extra eyes and ears for you in sourcing candidates, especially if you have given them a clear picture of your ideal candidate.  Also make sure they can explain why people should want to work for you.

Careful selection of the right person out of all your candidates can be a time consuming process.  However, any time invested here will be well rewarded when you have that person working for you.  As a guide, the more selection methods you use, the more confident you can be that you’ve made the right choice.  Relying on the resume and interview alone is simply not enough as several studies have shown that candidates will lie in both.  Supplement these methods with (at least) a job suitability assessment and always do reference checking.

Throughout the whole hiring process, make sure you are selling the candidate the idea of working for you.  What do you offer that makes your practice unique?  (Remember, it’s not always about the money!)  This is your EVP or Employee Value Proposition – just as important as your CVP.

Question by Cambrianna S: African American People – What is the crisis concerning African American males?
I was listening to a radio talk show and there were two men on talking about an Urban League Convention that will be held in late July. One issue they are going to focus on is the crisis with African American males. What do you think this crisis is and how do we as a community can solve it?
I’m not trying to be rude, but if you’re not African American, this is not the question for you. I asked a serious question and I’m looking for thoughtful, intelligent answers. If I read any hateful, disrespectful comments, I will flag your answer. Thanks!

Question by 313: Have you ever been made fun of by people from your own race for listening to music made by another race?
I am a 21 year old black-African American man, and other black people make fun of me for listening to music that is not black or Urban music, like rap/hip-hop , r&b, gospel.

I do like Rap music, R&B and Gospel but that’s not all I listen to.

My cousin made fun of me for listening to CHR/Top 40 Hit Music radio stations, because they play white peoples music, like rock music.

Mom even made fun of me for listening to white music.

I like alternative rock music and some heavymetal rock. According to other black people like me they think I should not listen to white music.

It dont matter what nobody say I am me and I listen to whatever type of music I like, and they can just listen to what they like and call it a day.

Just because im black does not mean that I have to listen to all black music and all black radio stations that play black music.

I am not the only black person this has happened to, a lady called a local radio station here in Detroit, Michigan area that is a Top 40 radio station, and she said her friends all made fun of her for listening to that Top 40 – Hit Music radio station because she is black. The stations name is Channel 955 – http://www.channel955.com

Does it really matter what type of mussic you listen too if you are a certain race or ethnic group?

How come I am not suppose to listen to Top 40 radio stations just because i’m black.

Lilikoi: yes, as it happens I have had to struggle and not known where my next meal is coming from. I am compassionate and try not to judge. I just wondered whether I could catagorize “Urban Crime” in the same way that people catagorize “Urban Music”. Know what I’m saying?
