Hiring the Web 2.0 Way

Knowledge Infusion continues to work with organizations as part of their Digital HR strategy to understand how new technologies are being used in the marketplace today.

I had the opportunity to recently keynote an event in Chicago speaking of how organizations are using Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise, I also had an opportunity to speak to many customers about the fears within Web 2.0 in their organization.

The attached article about how recruiters and hiring professionals are using technology would come into play in a large way. A few of the highlights of the article include:

Background research
Networking
Interviews
Global Hiring (Reaching the world with a single click)

Take a read and use as an educational process to ensure you are leveraging the web in all of the aspects possible to drive success. Your competitors are doing it, are you?

Your Resume is So 1.0

Knowledge Infusion is involved in over 20 different evaluations of Talent Acquisition/Recruiting solutions as we speak. Part of these evaluations include working with organizations to understand their existing processes and what they see as the "future of recruiting" in their worlds.

Recently, while working with a client on one of these projects, they introduced me to the "Visual CV". According to the VP of Talent Management, they have seen a "400% increase in these types of resumes and documents (do we still call it that?) in the past 6 months. Another interesting statement from that person was:

"Our new generation of manager prefers this type of profile of the future worker over the typical resume. It gives them a snapshot of the true person and a better idea of their true capabilities and past accomplishments."

Is this the ONLY resume of the future? Will resumes be a thing of the past in the past 5 years and everyone will have a "online profile" like Facebook or LinkedIn? What are your thoughts?

The "talent profile" is not only an internal tool, but something we carry with us everyday of our lives.

Recruiting Ain't Easy

The number of organizations that Knowledge Infusion is working with early this year around the transforming space of Talent Acquisition is amazing. This is as a result of many things such as:

Failed deployments of existing technologies
Downward economy making organizations think more about how to hire
Quality of hire and quality of data about hire continues to be in question
