Authors Simon Mullins and David Lord, CEO and Founder, respectively, of the Executive Search Information Exchange (ESIX.org), deliver what works before and after a decision to find the right person to address a management need. Leadership Recruiting takes the hiring organization's view, independent of the interests of executive search and consulting firms but with a full appreciation of how and when to engage consultants and how to build an in-house capability, so central to any company's future. It's a business-school course in 182 pages, indispensable for hiring managers and HR executives. In fact, any aspiring business leader can learn here the inside scoop on how this sometimes-mysterious, all-important activity works - or at least should work!

Download or read book Talent Management in the Developing World written by Joel Alemibola Elegbe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and political reforms and globalization in the developing world have led to the emergence of companies that are expanding beyond their national borders into the international arena. The transformation into multinational corporations is generally not accompanied by a change in the way they manage their talent. There is a disconnect between globalization and talent management. Yet the most effective and sustainable source of competitive advantage is talent. Talent Management in the Developing World explores how the policies, systems and procedures that have been successful within national boundaries are inadequate to meet the value propositions of completely different and diverse people working in different countries, cultures, legal and socio-economic environments. In fact they may be dysfunctional to talent management. Using the perspective of the developing world, Dr Elegbe outlines the shift in paradigm and practice that is required if organizations are to develop a sustainable talent management strategy in these countries. A global approach to talent management assures competitiveness and sustainability of success in the international environment but change will not happen until line and HR managers see its urgency and criticality. That is the endeavour of this book.

Download or read book Recent Developments in Recruitment and Selection written by Kristina Potočnik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together top recruitment and selection scholars to discuss recent challenges in employee recruitment and selection underpinned by research evidence from different European countries. Broadly speaking, recruitment and selection are concerned with attracting qualified candidates to apply for available jobs and selecting the best ones from the pool of available candidates. As such, they are critical to any business. Numerous toolkits and best practice guides exist to help recruiters navigate different stages of recruitment and selection. However, traditional recruitment and selection practices should be adjusted to respond to diverse challenges in the current and future world of work related with increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Specific examples of these challenges are related with the accelerated use of technology and artificial intelligence, as well as more flexible work practices, such as hybrid and platform-based work. The chapters in this volume cover the use of technology and gamification, applicant discrimination and stigmatization, and applicant reactions to technology-mediated selection methods, among others. This book is the ideal text for students, scholars and researchers of HRM, Business and Management and Organizational Psychology. It will also interest practitioners and professionals in the field. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology.

Download or read book How Performance Management Is Killing Performance and What to Do About It written by M. Tamra Chandler and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethink, Redesign, Reboot. Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It's never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one—and it works. Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative—she offers an infinite number of them. Each organization that uses her Performance Management Reboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn't make a lot of sense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries and sectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientific findings about motivation, it's a transparent, employee-driven process that values collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring new skills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks. Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each step in creating a performance management process that employees will actually embrace rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives of great performance management: developing your people, rewarding them equitably, and driving your organization's performance. It's the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to creating a performance management solution that's tailored to your organization's needs and goals and that places the emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people.

This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The video enhanced executive edition of How Performance Management is Killing Performance – and What to Do About It was created with the busy leader in mind. Offering targeted information and insight, and with over 26 minutes of videos and animations throughout, Rethinking Performance Management – A Leader's Guide has been adapted from the original edition to focus on only the points that you, as a leader of an organization, need to know. This means it's much shorter than the original with more of a focus on the big picture theory and less on the step-by-step. Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. In this short guide, author Tamra Chandler lays out the key points of creating a performance management process that is not only tailored to your organization's needs and goals, but that employees will actually embrace. Each of the six condensed chapters include short animations or video featuring Tamra herself to sum up the major takeaways for leaders. For those of us who need to be on the cutting edge of this emerging subject, but don't have as much time as we'd like, Rethinking Performance Management – A Leader's Guide offers the perfect framework to provide insight to the benefits of evolving performance management systems, a process which must be led, championed by the leaders in the organization.
