'Many people use Facebook on a regular basis to stay in touch with friends and family, but few recognize the value Facebook can play in a job search. Most people find their jobs through people they know, and the affinities on Facebook are perhaps the strongest of any social networking platform.

It happens so often, I call it a classic mistake – you assume a high performer is good at leadership or management, only to realize the opposite is true post-promotion. Most of the time, an employee needs a completely different skill set to move from being a high performer to a manager. It’s also tough to go from peer to boss. When high performers don’t have what it takes to lead, companies sometimes put other employees in charge – ones who are more of a mentor and facilitator.

So, you’ve found your next star employee. But the compensation package you offered her is not what she expected. Do you give up and let her walk away? Or do you increase your offer? Often, it depends largely on the internal processes and procedures that your company has in place. Some companies have salary grades assigned to each position, and so your new employee would receive a salary offer that’s a percentage of the grade that she’s qualified for.
