Compressions of service deliver time, peeling of recruitment process and industry standardization are three other chief factors with major impact on recruiting beside commoditization of service offerings. This will undoubtedly position certain players to prosper and others to suffer in this new paradigm, as globalized service practices become the norm.
The prime drivers of these changes are new technologies, particularly those around the Internet. It’s needless to say that the internet allowed us to achieve a degree of interconnection that has never been possible before. Today’s inexpensive and reliable communications are allowing recruiters to access clients and candidates via VoIP or e-mail from any web enabled location. Physical proximity to the talent pool used to be a key advantage in the talent wars in the old days, but not any more.
Outsourcing
In this scenario, as you peel business processes into “high” and “low” talent pool co-location needs, the workforce needed to execute “low” talent pool co-location processes can be anywhere in the world. With the political storm now raging around outsourcing and “off-shoring,” one fact seems to be that outsourcing is inevitably the key driving force responsible for changing today’s business landscape; whether we like it or not. Conventional wisdom teaches us that we should draw conclusions from IT Industry and find the way to embrace this trend.

You can have first-rate products and services, but if you can't establish the need, communicate the benefits and differentiate yourself from the competition in ways that make people want to do business with you, you’ll forever be selling up hill.As Robert Krumroy, Identity Branding, Inc. says: “Branding is about the customer--who has never met you--being able to answer the question: ‘Why you?’"Your “Value Proposition”Your brand can be based in large part on your “value proposition,” which is what differentiates you from your direct and indirect competition—and, if it’s good enough, will draw people to you.Your value proposition should be a clear, concise statement of why your business is unique and a better choice. Your market positioning, competitive analyses and SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) gives you everything you’ll need to develop a value proposition based on your strengths, your competition, what your “ideal” customer wants from you, and how this benefits people in your markets.This message must

I was at my wits end. I had looked under the hood, tried the key several times and even replaced the battery on my own, but nothing worked. My beloved ‘57 Corvette was as dead as a doornail. I leaned against it’s shiny red exterior and groaned a bit. This beauty was the result of years of intense restoration and I loved that car. It had only been a few days ago that I took my wife for a spin and she had “ooohed and aaahed” her way around the block. But today was a different story. I could only sigh and guess what had happened to the machine as it sat in my garage, almost mocking me in my futile attempts.Sure I had tried the phone book. But none of the ads touting, “Fast Service,”or “Trained Technicians,” or “Affordable Costs,”did anything but leave me with a large empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. No, I was pretty much on my own.That is, until, “He” showed up. At least I think is was a “He.” It was a large, yellow book-shaped character on skinny legs. He explained that he had an ad that he thought might help. I had nothing to lose, so I glanced over at

“What business are you in?” This is common question heard from local chambers to networking events throughout the country. Standard replies include manufacturing, production, retail, sales or professional services.However, even though most companies’ successes are the result of their employees’ efforts, employees are not considered part of the business. The focus is the outcomes of their efforts and not the individuals producing those very same outcomes.In the Spring of 2001, Jack Welch, now retired CEO and President of General Electric (GE) stated that GE was “in the people development business.” By focusing on developing the potential of each employee, Welsh believed the outcome was a stronger, more creative and higher performing company.If you wish for your company to become a “people development business,” the following suggestions may assist you.1. Spend more time in people development. Welch spent 75% of his time developing his people while most executives spend 25% or less time.2. Walk the talk. Employees often hear executives ta

Recently some televised sports events have begun using a system that makes billboards in stadiums appear to have ads they don't really have. The process is something like a digital version of chrome key, but it's much more powerful. In the next few years this technology will become even more powerful, and also considerably cheaper, opening up new opportunities for advertisers on the Internet, and raising a number of interesting issues in the process.While broadcast media is subject to regulations requiring a clear separation between content and advertisement, no such restrictions apply to Internet based media. In addition, only a handful of films, like Citizen Kane, have contractual protection from any kind of after the fact modification of content. As a result, advertisers on the Internet will be able to integrate their product into programming to a degree not possible since the golden age of radio.It may be limited to billboards now, but in a few years new digital video technology will be able to seamlessly a replace any product being used by an actor in a mo
Several years ago, only “very low” customer co-location kind of work was sent to remote locations – like software code development. With success stories building up, and wider availability of cheep communications, we are steadily moving towards the day when certain portions of recruitment process will be outsourced to more cost competitive labor markets. No one is immune, and soon enough recruiters in developed countries who have traditionally been insulated from global market forces will be faced with competition as they have never seen before: recruiting consultants from global outsourcing hot spots capable of offering comparable-quality service at perhaps a tenth the cost of their counterparts will get in the game.
However, overall more likely than not, outsourcing will bring definite advantages. I am sure that most of us would appreciate help in meeting and greeting applicants so that they do not feel like their resumes have only been sucked into an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) black hole. But initial correspondence, introductory e-mails, first level of selection, test administration, preliminary interviews, only to name a few, could be purchased externally at more competitive costs than internal resources.
If we disregard our feelings about major job boards and other technology based recruiting tools effectiveness for a moment, we will realize that every single recruiter who is serous about their business performance has access to those tools; and they don’t come cheap. I guess where I am getting at is that recruiting technology vendors are going to be in the forefront of outsourcing and price reductions. There is no technological solution
