Dan Erickson stopped by Dovetail’s booth at HR Tech
Dan Erickson, Vice President of Elevated Careers by eHarmony. Elevated Careers was created to match job seekers / candidates with employers based on the three vital components of compatibility: competency, core work values, and personality fit with hiring manager.
“It’s all about cutting back on that regrettable turnover, finding the quality candidates and job seekers that will fit in with your culture, based on engagement – those who will have that emotional and meaningful connection to their work and to your company – so it’s not just about happiness, necessarily, it’s engagement – it’s about finding meaning in your job and your company.”
Check out this great interview and learn what’s on Dan’s mind:
- Measuring Engagement at Work
- Redefining “Work is Work”
- The shift in how we think about work
- The Evolution of Culture

- Wellness – Organizational and Individual
- HR & Recruiting: Become a Profit Center instead of a Cost Center
- Elevated Careers: Creating a Company Culture DNA
On Engagement: “Engagement at work effects everything at a company, not just the working relationships, but right down to the bottom line. Studies show that companies with engage employees outperform those without by over 202% – plus a 35% swing to the stock price of public companies – it effects the bottom line, it effects the actual productivity.” – Dan Erickson
