What Matters Most in Talent Acquisition?

by Alice Snell | August 3, 2006 No comments

This question was asked to the staffing.org respondents of their 2006 survey.

For organizations, the #1 rank was given to technology. #4 was branding. #7 contingent workforce management. #2 was still the job board selection!
Outsourcing was #6.

Here are more key Q&As:

What was the metric that organizations will focus next year on? Its quality with 58%. Time was second with 23%.

Are they planning to reduce their budget for next year? About 15% will reduce and 28% will increase.

For the job seekers (879 employed in Internet technology, research and development, product development, and sales professionals), one key pain point was well above all the others: provide good communication and follow up.
