Current Projects
I am personally leading a research project that is
part of our overall Talent 2.0 program. I would love to have your company
join us as a sponsor and you as a collaborator.
Engaging and Assessing N-Gen Talent: Approaches
for Recruiting and Hiring the Right N-Gens
Sign them up! In order to hire the best talent in the marketplace, organizations
will be required to address three primary areas. First, companies will
need to articulate a unique employee value proposition for prospective
employees; second, they must develop a non-traditional set of channels
and approaches to engage potential talent; and third, they will need to
develop the internal capability of HR and line-of-business leaders to
competently evaluate and assess talent.
