As Marissa Mayer CEO of Yahoo said during an interview on Bloomberg TV, May 2013:
“Technology companies live and die by the talent they can attract”
“Often the best solution to a management problem is the right person” Edwin Booz, 1914
“Talent is the #1 top concern of CEO’s”. IBM CEO Survey 2012.
Top Talent – Right fit, right time
“In today’s knowledge economy,
competitive advantage is increasingly
coming from the particular, hard-to-
duplicate know-how of a company’s most
skilled people: talented (and highly paid)
engineers, salespeople, scientists, and other
professionals.” Redesigning Knowledge Work. Harvard Business Review 2013.

Three recent examples: 1. Senior Environmental Advisor 2. Principal Geologist 3. Remuneration Manager (Head of Remuneration
& Benefits for ASX 100 company)
Targeted research, reaching out to enough of the right people and a thorough selection process is why
executive search is effective “It seems to me that a careful examination might possibly reveal some traces of this mysterious individual” The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
Recruiting trends – Online tools The hidden job market is growing and the labour market is constantly changing
Technology is a fantastic enabler:
• Move to online tools for sourcing talent
• Consolidation of market share of online job boards and emergence of new players

Recruiting Trends - Big data
Big data means using data to find patterns about people. • How did Xerox reduce turnover in customer service
employees by 1/5th? They discovered those that live nearby work and are able get to work easily are less likely to quit.
• A study by Evolv of 100,000 call centre workers showed those who job-hopped in the past were no more likely to quit sooner than non job-hoppers. Counter intuitive?

Recruiting Trends - Omni sourcing #hrsummit_au @shireendupreez
“Most companies react to hiring situations as
emergencies; that might explain why so many do it
so poorly”
Legacy issues and hiring challenges
Standard notice period: 4 weeks Usual time for thorough process: 8-12 weeks
