Blog: Author: Master Burnett | Source: HCI | 2 days ago

Organizations looking to truly break performance/innovation barriers and optimize their organizations leverage of talent need to do something few organizations ever do; they need to engage in battle with the other back office functions that make up the modern organization.

This past week I found myself fixated on an episode of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs entitled Dirty Innovators.  While the entire episode captivated me, it was a statement by the show’s host, Mike Rowe, that encouraged me to write this post.  In wrapping up the show Mike Rowe said “most people don’t think like an innovator, they’re too busy staying within the lines.” more »

Your New Career Site Is Not an Employer Brand

     Blog: Author: Jason Lauritsen | Source: HCI | February 12, 2010

I am really excited about the amount of discussion happening in the talent acquisition industry about brand.  For my money, there aren’t too many more effective ways to transform recruitment in an organization than a smart and well-executed employer brand strategy.  But, my fear is that while we are talking about brand a lot more than we used to, we are collectively missing the boat on its true power and potential.    more »

Talent Acquisition Needs More Henrys

     Blog: Author: Tom Cairns | Source: HCI | February 11, 2010

I read an article by Sannjeev Sharma entitled “Talent Acquisition in 21st Century...A BIG Challenge.”  The author “explores almost all the methods of talent Acquisition” but leaves room for more.

 
Is talent acquisition in the 21st Century more of a challenge than it was in the 20th Century?  I don’t think so.  As I read the article, I thought about Henry.

The Trusted Executive Search Partner

     Blog: Author: Adam Zak | Source: HCI | February 10, 2010

You’re planning an important business trip to a foreign country, and you’re not that familiar with the city where you’ll spend most of your time. The travel agent asks for your hotel preference and you stop to think for a minute. Important trip. Expect to be meeting customers and vendors at the hotel;  will want to host a lunch or dinner meeting; likely to need help with some business entertainment arrangements; and, it would be prudent to have a local contact in case of last minute changes or minor emergencies. So your answer basically comes down to this:  “Who do I trust to help me in the event I get into trouble?” more »

Talent is not Patient, and it is not Faithful

     Article: Author: Economist.com | Source: Economist | November 13, 2009

No one word demonstrated the shift in corporations’ attention in the mid-1990s from processes to people more vividly than the single word “talent”. Spurred on by a book called “The War for Talent”, written by three McKinsey consultants in the late 1990s, the word became common in management speak.
