Talent Force: New Manifesto For The Human Side Of Business: A New Manifesto for the Human Side of Business

Only one thing really differentiates your business from your competitor: your people. Do you have the right talent in the right place at the right time? It's no longer enough to have a 'workforce': you need a high-impact Talent Force. It's not a subtle difference, but a huge competitive edge.

The authors, recruitment leaders in the world's most competitive industries, first identify the massive social, cultural, and economic shifts that are transforming hiring as we know it. We are a smaller, closer, and more competitive world, as Baby Boomers are retiring in the US, India is flourishing due to outsourcing and educational development, and China is a strong new economic force. Add to that the fact that today's best people have radically new expectations and approaches to work; this book reveals what they want and how to meet those needs while building your business. You'll learn how to develop and implement a world-class talent plan that aligns with your business objectives, and define metrics to track and optimize its success. Discover how candidates are using technology to evaluate new opportunities, benchmark their compensation, and create new back-channels of communication about worklife at your company and your competitor's. Maximize these new technologies to grow your Talent Force, tap into new sources of competitive intelligence and stay ahead of the pack.
