Cut Through the Muck: What Talent Trends Do Organizations Really Care About?

Over the past several weeks, I’ve seen a number of sources release their annual “trend reports.” While I agree with many of the trends highlighted in these reports, I’ve found that our customers are talking less about trends, and more about how this HR evolution is impacting their recruiting and selection practices.

Do You Confuse Sourcing with Recruiting?

“I recruit using Dice.” “I recruit using social media.” “I recruit using LinkedIn.” “What is the best job board to recruit sales (or IT or marketing or finance, etc.) candidates?” These are all questions I have seen repeatedly in recruitment Yahoo! Groups or in LinkedIn Groups.

It appears that many companies confuse sourcing with recruiting, possibly since many sourcing tools try to sell themselves as recruiting tools. While sourcing is certainly important, it is the third step in the recruitment sales process. All seasoned recruiters, corporate and third party, may leave the room…

Rhino Human Resources Officially Current With Financial Disclosures and Achieving Goals Set Earlier in the Year

HOLBROOK, N.Y, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Rhino Human Resources, Inc. (pinksheets:IFHR), Holbrook, New York, today announced that the company has filed its 2011 annual disclosure, bringing the company current and ready for its auditor to do what’s needed to earn fully reporting status with the Security Exchange Commission’s (SEC).

Earlier in last year, the company laid out a plan to clean up the entity for merger with a suitable merger candidate. In order to maximize shareholder value, the board of directors wishes to seek candidates with solid revenues and a track record. To achieve that goal, the company would need to be fully reporting with the SEC, and to do this, all four 2011 quarterly filings had to be done, as well as the 2011 annual filing. Every detail including the tiniest of financial transactions would have to be verified and re-constructed going back two years, spanning three CEO’s, several business models, and it would have to be done on a shoestring budget.

Driving Long Term Engagement in Talent Communities Using Social Media

There is a recording of this webinar available.

Social media has and continues to dramatically change the world we live in. That’s an easy phrase to dismiss, but prior to the introduction of social technologies bringing millions of connected and interconnected people to speak up, share, and collaborate wasn’t nearly as easy. Online communities play an integral part in the social technology ecosystem, they’re where relationships start in the digital age, and more and more companies are evaluating how to leverage them to support recruiting. When approached from the right perspective, talent communities can help organizations map the complex network of talent around them, explore brand perceptions, influence and develop future generations of the workforce and establish true pipelines of talent for mission critical roles. Unfortunately, in the rush to jump on the social bandwagon most approaching talent communities fail to develop long term traction with talent because they do not design their community to provide true value to all parties.
