Why recruitment will be harder in 2014, and what you can do about it
I gave this presentation at the Talent Leaders Connect conference on 12 June 2014. I wanted to show that Talent is the #1 factor keeping CEOs up at night, but that CEOs have limited faith in HR solving this, their single biggest issue. I then show how the economy is in out and out growth mode which means demand is increasing whilst supply decreasing making HRs job exponentially harder. I then propose a way forward and suggest that embracing an "agile workforce" could help solve this. I show two companies where they have done just this and the benefits that gave each. I then propose 3 tangible solutions to help HR on the journey. Given demographics and skills shortages, these changes will happen, will HR embrace them or be led by them?
