The Human Capital Institute - Effective Hiring Learning Track - Finding the Best Fit Candidate for a Job

In a 2004 report, Gartner said: "Many companies have automated requisitioning, applicant tracking and even candidate acquisition. They are looking for the next level of benefits. These companies are looking at hiring effectiveness instead of just hiring efficiency. Hiring effectiveness is all about finding the best fit candidate for a job relative to the cost of that source." For effective hiring to be possible it must encompass well-understood and executed practices, strategies and technologies. Hiring combines elements of selection, including screening/assessment, interviewing and background/reference checking. It requires elements of investigation, selection science and intuition. Effective hiring also means transitioning a new hire from candidate to team member and ensuring an efficient hand-off from the recruiting and HR teams to the line manager.

Forget what you think you know about virtual reality. The evolution of massive multi-player online role-playing games (that's MMORPG for those into tech-speak) may just be the pinnacle of the internet: the "killer app." These applications are moving out of the gamer-domain and into the bright light of business, as more and more net citizens choose to interact with each other using their slick interfaces.

So what does this mean to employers? It's simple; employers use the internet every day to search for the right candidate, and their time and effort is to put to best use when they are able to identify large clumps of potentials. Yet maximizing these online communities as marketing and search resources can be deceptively simple. In this webcast we'll uncover the risks and rewards of expanding your recruiting efforts in virtual time and space.
