How to Get People to Respond to Your Recruiting Emails & MessagesGlen Cathey
When it comes to sourcing and recruiting, it's gotten easier to find people but it's gotten more difficult to get people to respond to emails, InMails, social messages and voicemails. The poor quality and lack of sophistication of most recruiter messaging, along with rampant spamming, certainly hasn't helped. Unfortunately and yet somewhat thankfully, the bar of what people expect to receive from recruiters has been set fairly low, so the opportunity for improvement is massive. The good news is that becoming more effective at getting people to respond to recruiting outreach efforts is relatively easy because marketing & advertising has already blazed the trail - sourcers and recruiters would do well to leverage what effective sales & marketing teams has been doing for decades.
In 2014 and 2015, I spoke at Talent 42, SOSUEU, and LinkedIn Talent Connect conferences on the challenges of getting people - especially "passive," highly recruited talent - to respond to recruiter outreach efforts. The decks I used for the presentations were mostly images, so I decided to add text to the slides so that the core concepts could be understood by anyone whether they attended those conference sessions or not simply by viewing the presentation (I wish more presenters would do this!).

It also discusses the need for supporting higher densities, improved efficiency, green solutions, and rapid deployment. Specific solutions proposed include higher voltage distribution to reduce losses, modular UPS systems to right-size capacity, and implementing high-density zones with localized cooling.
The document discusses air flow measurements and thermal responses in data centers to help sustainability. It describes experiments conducted in the CEETHERM data center using a 3D PIV system and server simulator to measure air flows under different rack configurations and thermal loads. High perforated tile flow rates were found to cause issues like adverse pressure gradients and hot pockets forming in racks. Temperature mapping showed the impact of tile flow on cold and hot aisle temperatures. The research aims to better understand air flows to help optimize data center design and efficiency.
The document describes a project to implement aisle pressure management at a client's data center site in Rocklin, CA. Sensors and active fan tiles were used to control cold aisle pressure to be slightly positive, addressing underfloor distribution issues. This allowed the site to run at N+1 redundancy instead of N+2, raised CRAC setpoints, and reduced top-of-rack temperatures by an average of 5 degrees F. Further study of moving temperature control to the underfloor and testing lower redundancy configurations was suggested.
The document discusses the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) approach to building energy efficient data centers and facilities. It highlights NREL's Research Support Facility, a LEED Platinum building that uses 40% less energy than typical offices.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
