The term “war for talent” was first used in 2001 in a Harvard Business Press book by the same name. It refers to a competitive landscape in recruiting and retention. Given the recent shift to a candidate-driven market and other indicators like low unemployment, the use of war for talent seems very appropriate. Dave Ulrich and his colleagues have a new book out on the topic titled “ Victory Through Organization: Why the War for Talent is Failing Your Company and What You Can Do About It ”.

Crawford Thomas Recruiting , a full service staffing agency supporting multiple offices from the southeast to midwest United States, was seeking a better way to access and interview a talent pool of premium candidates for clients across geographical barriers. Their primary pain point was struggling to find an effective and timely way to identify who to advance in the screening process, when in-person interviews were not possible. . One-on-one interviews already add an average of 4.1

When most of us think of marketing, we think of promoting a business: brand creation, strategic positioning, social media, advertising, pricing, etc. Almost every business makes a strong investment in these practices; and few (if not none) could exist without it. So couldn't these same principles be applied to a line of business? I think so—and Human Resources, in particular, could benefit from some marketing.

For setting the pay rates/ranges of jobs where staffing hinges heavily on drawing new graduates, I find data on starting salaries for college grads in the relevant majors to be a helpful data point. Often - if your staffing practices are institution-specific, you can get that data on the college/university website or by calling the Career Placement office. But there are also some great surveys that collect and report this info. .

A reader writes: I work at a nonprofit that operates in a very traditional office setting: business professional dress code, strict lunch hours, and a strict 9-5 day. In theory, this is done for efficiency and to allow employees to feel like they have more separation between their work and personal life. New staff tend to struggle with it when they first arrive since many other nonprofits they have worked for are more flexible about arrival times, making up time, PTO, etc.

For HR and hiring managers, finding new employees rarely goes beyond the traditional résumé and interview process. However, sometimes the best candidate for the job doesn’t know the opportunity exists. Since it is the hiring manager’s job to recognize top talent, it’s important that they look beyond the interview room, keeping their eyes open for untapped potential in even the most unexpected places.

Being able to deal with constraints is an important part of business. Constraints are stages of a process that causes the entire process to slow down, be less effective, or stop completely. In the book “ The Goal ”, Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt outlines The Theory of Constraints as well as how to identify and manage them successfully. It’s a good read that HR pros should have in their library. A logical first step in successfully dealing with constraints is identifying them.

Dear Timmy, I recently applied for a position that I’m perfect for! A recruiter from the company contacted me and scheduled me for an interview with the manager.

I immediately followed up with an email to the recruiter and the manager thanking them, but since then I’ve heard nothing and it’s been weeks. I’ve sent follow-up emails to both the recruiter and the manager and I’ve gotten no reply.

The time clock is such a simple, mundane part of your business. However, it is also a driving part of your overall human resources picture. Employee time must be tracked accurately, and the time clock must be accessible to everyone. Chronic missed punches can lead to inaccuracies that can cost your business thousands of dollars in losses a year. If your clock is placed somewhere the employees don’t normally go, they may legitimately forget to punch-in—or they might be trying to pad their hours.

It has become the norm to identify and categorize people along generational lines. Jessica Kriegel, in her book Unfairly Labeled , states that we create generational stereotypes because we seek to find certainty in an uncertain world and labels can be a shortcut to understanding. We often go beyond the idea of trends or patterns and begin to identify generational differences almost as laws of the universe.
