In Aberdeen's recent "An Asset for HR in the Age of the Candidate," we learned that there isn't a one-size-fits-all, pre-hire assessment approach to fit in with every company's talent acquisition process. However, there are universal steps that can be taken to optimize its usage to be as fruitful as possible.
In light of such popularity, many organizations are turning
their attention to mobile recruiting. So, how do job seekers
use mobile devices in their job searches? Using data from
the global IBM WorkTrendsTM survey, the IBM Smarter
Workforce Institute (SWI) analyzed why and how potential
job seekers use mobile in their job searches and what
concerns and expectations they have. The results provide
organizations with clear insights into how they can attract
talent via mobile technologies.
Whether it's through using pre- or post-hire assessments, applying managerial feedback or learning results, identifying high potentials is a huge win for determining who will lead your company forward. With such information, businesses can ensure that their most valued employees are promoted, challenged, and encouraged to succeed - and that they stay with your business. Without this data, companies risk losing the talent that keeps them competitive and successful.
Attracting talented job candidates is one of the biggest
challenges facing HR in the next 10 years.1 Understandably,
organizations want top talent and they are highly focused on

created equal when it comes to mobile recruitment? We decided
to take a look at the coveted members of the workforce and
explore their use of and attitudes towards mobile recruitment.
Using the high-potential employees subset of our global
WorkTrends™ survey data, we were able to compare top talent,
who significantly outperform their peers and demonstrate a
stronger capacity to succeed,3,4 with other employees. The
results provide new insight into mobile recruiting and guidance
for organizations looking to attract

Two dominant trends are potentially reshaping the role of the HR function in the corporate world. The first relates to the rapid growth of the knowledge economy. In this environment, a committed, appropriately skilled and prudently deployed workforce is critical in order to develop new products and outstrip the competition. Second, many administrative functions that were formerly handled by HR departments, such as payroll and pensions, have now been farmed out to third parties. Indeed, research reveals that more than two-thirds of companies outsource a portion of their HR functions. This report by the Economist Intelligence Unit investigates whether the HR function is forging a close and robust relationship with the CEO. It also explores the nature of these working relationships, how they have been affected by the economic downturn and how they vary across industries and regions.
