We have progressed from the industrial age to the information age. Now a company’s most important intangible asset is Talent.
Better talent is what will separate winning companies from the rest.
Even in the economic slowdown there is a huge demand for star performers. The war for talent is happening worldwide so finding talent is a global management challenge.
The tools needed by companies in order to win the battle will have to be much more sophisticated than those used at the present time: an ad in the press, selecting candidates coming only from a pool of active jobseekers will surely diminish the quality of any company’s talent pool.
