An HCI Community

City Beat: Seattle

Blog: Author: Alan Mellish | Source: HCI | 1 day ago

After a brief break from the road, the City Beat is back.  This week your faithful reporter has pulled in (virtually, that is) to that damp jewel of the pacific-northwest: Seattle!  Also known as the Emerald City, Seatown , and the Jet City Seattle is home to a mixture of older industries as well as “new economy” Internet and technology firms.  Three of the Fortune 500 firms are based within city limits (Amazon.com, Starbucks, and Nordstom) while nearby suburbs and towns are home to Costco, Providence Health & Services, Microsoft, Nintendo of America, and forest products giant Weyerhaeuser to name a few.  The city also boasts a large Asian community (13.8% according to the 2010 Census) like many cities on the west coast.  Because of its rich high-tech talent pool, Seattle is also home to many start-up businesses. Finally, it is the chosen site for HCI's 2012 Engagement and Retention Conference; some might call this Seatown's crowning acheivement. more »

At HSN, the recruiting leadership decided to build two talent pipelines, one focused on the volume positions and below director level, and the other to provide the right talent for their executive leadership.  How did they accomplish this master feat without squandering or over-committing precious resources?  What tools and procedures aided their company to create a great hiring plan?

So we are all coming down from the excitement, drama, and spectacular display of talent from the Super Bowl, (actually I am sort of guessing about all that, as this post is being written about 8 hours before the actual kickoff), and for the last day or so talk about the game, the commercials, the half time show (how was it?), has dominated online and offline discourse.
