Be Recognized by YesVets for Hiring Veterans
LWHRA is thrilled to partner with YesVets to promote their statewide campaign to hire veterans. YesVets recognizes employers who show their commitment to veteran employment by hiring veterans into their workforce.
Recruitment and talent acquisition strategies was the theme of our recent August Chapter meeting. We were lucky to have a knowledgeable presenter, Jenifer Lambert, Chief Revenue Officer at TERRA Staffing Group, who delivered an educational presentation at our meeting. Jenifer has over 25 years’ experience in recruiting/staffing under her belt. She fell into recruiting/staffing right out of college and has worked both in consulting roles and directly placing talent with client companies across a broad range of industries.
There were some great lessons learned at our Chapter meeting. We also used the opportunity to ask Jenifer her thoughts on few more recruiting questions, including her tips on how to avoid biases in the recruitment process and important considerations when selecting the right candidate for the job.

SHRM has awarded a 2017-2018 Superior Merit Award designation to the Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) SHRM student chapter for providing superior growth and development opportunities to its student chapter members. This top award is received by fewer than one-quarter of student chapters per year. This marks the eighth year that LWTech has been recognized as Superior Merit Award or Outstanding Chapter Award winner.
The SHRM student chapter merit award program, which began in 1972, was created to encourage student chapters to require ongoing excellence in the following areas: student chapter requirements, chapter operations, chapter programming and professional development of members, support of the human resource profession, and SHRM engagement.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) recently awarded the Lake Washington Human Resource Association (LWHRA) its prestigious Platinum EXCEL Award for its accomplishments in 2017.
The UW Bothell SHRM Student Chapter will be recognized at the 2018 SHRM National Conference this summer for the "Honorable Mention Award".
Student chapters have an opportunity to win this award based on the number of activities they complete during the merit award cycle.
The students are so excited about this award!Hopelink is looking for hiring managers and HR professionals from local companies to volunteer as mock interviewers! Can you help?
Hopelink offers English for Work classes to help prepare immigrants and refugees for the U.S. workforce. Each quarter Hopelink holds mock interview events for our students. Mock interviews occur during regularly scheduled class time, and many students have told us that this is the most valuable activity in the course.
Managing a workforce so your business stays competitive in a tough economy is challenging. Years of cost-cutting, program-gutting tactics have left everyone stressed and disengaged. And too often the investments organizations do make go undervalued, underutilized and/or misunderstood. It’s safe to say that it’s time to reimagine total rewards so that individuals can enhance their total well-being and organizations can achieve their desired results. Join the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Society of Certified Employee Benefits Specialists for a webinar on June 5.
