EdFuel's blog on all things talent.
Skeptical about finding the right person who is highly qualified for the role? Have you been putting your organization out there? Wish it was as quick and easy as swiping right? Here's how to set yourself apart and ensure you find your perfect match!
Gone are the days of the online dating stigma. Whether using Tinder, Bumble, The League, or eHarmony (yep, it still exists), many people view online dating as a great way to meet someone. The data backs this up with 40% of Americans using online dating apps. It's also reported that about 20% of committed relationships have begun online. Thanks to technology and algorithms, over the years online matchmaking has proven successful.
As we enter a new year, many people are taking the time to reflect on the past and to set goals for the future. At EdFuel, each year we strive to build capacity for individuals and organizations to develop stronger internal talent systems.
It's the holiday season! In a few short weeks many of you will head out on vacation and reconvene in the new year with renewed spirit. Before you go, take care that you have completed the most important task: tell your high performers you want them to stay.

I was lucky. As a white girl growing up in a wealthy, relatively open environment, I experienced immense amounts of privilege. I still do, based on my race, socioeconomic status, and ability to "pass" as straight.For those who might be unfamiliar with the term, passing privilege refers to the extent to which you appear straight to others, and therefore are less exposed to more immediate discrimination or harassment as a result.
