Practitioners’ Perspective on 2010 Recruiting Trends
o Huge focus on Global Expansion requires TA function to adapt and identify top talent overseas
o New energy around developing internal workforce Legacy employees are retiring Companies are growing here and internationally Main focus used to be on Recruiting; Now there
is equal focus on retention / development of talent and recruiting

Practitioners’ Perspectiveon 2010 Recruiting Trends
o Recruiters are being challenged by Hiring Managers to bring forth the absolute best talent Perception that due to the recession, top talent is readily
available and at a bargain General skills are less acceptable; HMs are seeking specific
skill sets, background and experience in candidates Creative and aggressive sourcing strategies are critical Employee Referral Programs are underutilized
o Aging workforce isn’t as job search savvy as their younger counterparts Competition is high for openings and older job seekers don’t
always have the tools to identify appropriate jobs (e.g., mobile technology, social networks)

WEB 2.0: HOW TO USE EFFECTIVELY

o Define a cohesive approach for using external tools (e.g., Social Networks) and proprietary ones (e.g., Company’s careers site)
o Create a strong internal employee networking site for knowledge sharing and open communications with peers
o Transparent, communicated policy governing employee access and usage 1 in 5 employees don’t know if their company even has a policy
o Establish a dedicated Social Networking monitoring program to keep internal usage and external image in check Only 17% of organizations currently using Web 2.0 tools have a
means of monitoring use

Many organizations have decentralized the recruiting function

Dissatisfied workers are holding on to current jobs… for now Employee engagement is dropping Employees are stepping up their job searches and honing their resumes Most employers are not taking steps to engage and retain current talent Employers are not seizing the opportunity to get to know external talent Recruiting teams have changed significantly in the last year

recruiting teams
MANAGING TODAY AND PREPARING FOR TOMORROWThe Issue
AARP
29
MANAGING TODAY AND PREPARING FOR TOMORROW
Preparing Your Recruiting Teamo Develop or build your strongest team
Ensure your team has excellent skills in sourcing, cold-calling, screening, selecting and influencing
If skill gaps exist, now is the best time to train - or trade up
o Identify positions across the organization that directly impact key business factors rather than having a blanket focus on all positions above a certain level Consider the performance and retention risks of incumbents in these
roles
Use available recruiting resources to plan for vacancies in these roles
o Develop creative sourcing and recruiting strategies to tap into the right talent
o Ensure appropriate assessment tools are in place to make the best selection decisions

Business Case for Mature Workers
69% of mature workers not retired say they will work during retirement
Companies may avoid talent crunch if mature workers continue working longer than previous generations for both financial and personal reasons
Companies may find themselves competing for the services of older workers, and will need to offer the kind of rewards that 50+ employees want and expect
Mature workers are more motivated than others to exceed expectations on the job
AARP 31

High replacement costs equal at least 50% of an individual’s salary
Cost benefits of avoiding turnover can exceed compensation and benefit costs of older workers
