\t\t\t\t\"shut-up-300x300\"<\/a>2017 is finally here.\u00a0 Everyone is slowly getting back in to their routines and we are all getting back to work.\u00a0 For most, our lives have been filled with excess over the past 3 months.\u00a0 Too much food, too much booze, too much time off, and don\u2019t forget- too much family time.\u00a0 We all love our families (or most do), but too much of anything can be overwhelming.\u00a0 Yes, Clark Griswold\u2019s dad said it best in Christmas Vacation when he said he got through the holidays with \u201ca lot of Jack Daniels\u201d.\u00a0 I know I certainly did.<\/p>\n

We took our tree down on December 27th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Not that we didn\u2019t enjoy the holidays, but I was just over Christmas.\u00a0 As soon as the ball dropped on New Year\u2019s Eve, resolutions were being made across the world.\u00a0 Gyms are packed at the beginning of a new year but eventually most everyone gives up.\u00a0 Most people forget their resolutions by the end of the first week in January.<\/p>\n

I have been asked over the past couple of months what I think 2017 will bring in the HR & recruiting world.\u00a0 Will robots take over?\u00a0 Will recruiters become obsolete?\u00a0 Will technology take over the role of the recruiter?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been relatively quiet recently.\u00a0 This is not by accident, but by design.\u00a0 I used to run my mouth more than I should.\u00a0 I was opinionated and let the world know how I felt.\u00a0 Although I am absolutely 100% right all of the time, (sarcasm) I don\u2019t care to talk much anymore.<\/p>\n

My resolution in 2017 is simple.\u00a0 I want to listen.\u00a0 I want to listen to what others have to say.\u00a0 I want to learn and observe.<\/p>\n

One thing is for certain about 2017.\u00a0 There will be change.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to say anything more (and won\u2019t) but all you have to do is say we do have a new President and our country will go in a different direction.<\/p>\n

You see, we (and I do mean about 90% of everyone reading this) have been consumed with social media.\u00a0 It is getting pretty bad.\u00a0 Personally, I am checking my phone way too often and I can never really disconnect due to the nature of my business.<\/p>\n

\"meme-im-not-anti-social\"<\/a>I can\u2019t believe I am saying this, but I am growing tired of social media.\u00a0 I am actually getting bored with it.\u00a0 I am tired of reading everyone\u2019s opinions.\u00a0 Like myself, everyone else is 100% right too.\u00a0 We are getting ugly with one another.\u00a0 We are disconnecting ourselves from reality.<\/p>\n

You you know what else?\u00a0 Everything we say is being watched and the data is being used to predict what our behavior will be like in the future.\u00a0 Big Data is out there and big brother is watching every move that we make.<\/p>\n

People are rapidly forming opinions about me and all of you by what we say and write on blogs and social media.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying this to scare you, but it is the truth.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think robots are going to take over.\u00a0 I do think that there is going to be a ton of automation in the HR and recruiting processes, but I don\u2019t believe they are going to change recruiting forever. \"robotsfallon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You see, I think and truly believe, I am not the only one that thinks that there will be a shift.\u00a0 I believe things are going to begin to revert to how they used to be.\u00a0 I do believe that recruiting will become more and more like it was 20-30 years ago.<\/p>\n

People are going to slowly and surely remove themselves from the noise.\u00a0 This won\u2019t happen overnight and for some it may never happen, but you will see people becoming less and less \u201csocial\u201d.<\/p>\n

People are going to crave human interaction and that can never be replaced by any robot.\u00a0 Human interaction can never be replaced by seeing a picture on Facebook or Instagram.<\/p>\n

Waylon Jennings said it best in the song \u201cif you see me getting smaller\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see me gettin’ smaller I’m leavin’ don’t be grieving
\nJust got to get away from here
\nIf you see me gettin’ smaller don’t worry and no hurry I’ve got the right to disappear\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you with me?\u00a0 If you want to chat, give me a ring, or let\u2019s go grab lunch.\u00a0 There is no need to have my head down in my phone anymore.\u00a0 I’m going to be more careful what I say online.\u00a0 I think you should too.<\/p>\n
