How Social Business Leaders Lead: Talent Management and Recruiting

Posted on January 26th, 2012 in Unemployment News | No Comments »

(From Forbes.com) — Talent management gets a great deal of attention in social business particularly in the human resources department. Fundamentally, it is a question of if talent acquisition and personnel development are changing dramatically in the light of huge jumps in connectivity through social networks as ways to find jobs and learn from others. If there are changes to how businesses work with talent, what might they be? At Enterprise2.0 conference Santa Clara, I caught up with Tim Young, the former CEO of Socialcast, and now VP of Social Enterprise at VMware to ask this question (following my prior post on Mr. Young’s thoughts). *Note: This is a continuation of my series, How Social Business Leaders Lead, focusing on how leaders of existing social businesses are evolving their own skills, along with their views of future models of work, the evolving nature of management, and the evolving structure of the organization.

(From Business Wire) — “In 2012, companies looking to successfully add top talent to their company need to be aware of the shifting dynamics in the recruiting arena and become even more strategic in their approach,” said Cindy Lu, CEO of The Novo Group, a national managed recruitment outsourcing firm.

The typical process for searching out top-notch passive candidates takes more time and requires dedicated recruiters with industry-relevant experience and connections. According to a recent Linked In survey, 78% of employed professionals stated that they are interested in a new position, yet ONLY 18% of them had their resume posted anywhere. So, a full 60% needs to be found! A successful recruiter has the knowhow and contacts at targeted companies to recruit those top-notch “passive” candidates. Read more .
