A crucial task of HR managers is talent recruitment, especially of top technical talent. These people are more interested in working for an organization with a sense of purpose and a clear vision of where the organization sees itself in the next 3 years. HR managers have to align the company vision with the employee’s personal career path if they are to attract the right talent. Today, most senior talents are willing to compromise on salary if they can see themselves working in a special and innovative Company.So therefore, the advice is that focus on prospects of the Company while recruiting rather than talking about the details of the job description to attract the best.

How to Find and Hire Top Tech Talent

Talent recruitment in the IT industry is a major challenge due to the trend of traditional CVs being doctored by candidates and agents. Thus some objective selection criteria must be added to the process. Also remote hiring must be encouraged taking advantage of laptops, smart phones and tablets.

Social network must be utilized to project good image about the firm as that will help in recruitments and digital marketing. This online presence must not be influenced by the device used, and content must eb compatible across platforms. Yet, the aspirant has to somehow be attracted to the main office as there still remains no substitute for direct interaction. Hiring managers must act as brand ambassadors for the firm. 

Managing Knowledge Transfer when older workers Leave

With the US population ageing, a problem of older people leaving the workforce and not being properly replaced by younger ones is becoming a common ailment. While explicit knowledge may be recorded and filed, tacit knowledge held by experienced professionals can never be replicated. Thus organizations are grappling with this situation and best ways to address this issue. Talent management teams across firms are setting up knowledge transfer tools so that this tacit knowledge can somehow not be lost. A specific succession plan is being devised such that the outgoing employee can spend quality time with the younger replacement and train accordingly.

One of them is the performance review that has been scrapped at some places, yet is being recycled in different forms. In fact a lot of measurements are happening just for the sake instead of any attempts at genuine change. Labeling or categorizing employees is also a harmful practice as many do not necessarily exhibit innate characteristics associated with. More provisions must be made to accommodate employees working remotely from home as this aids talent management. There is also way too much focus on the final results. In fact money is seen as a result of performances delivered alone. Jeff Bezos of Amazon is one perfect example of an executive who has not managed human behaviour within the firm properly. There are some organizations which are quick to implement changes just because some labs have proven the same, yet these practices may not suit within the milieu of the industry.
