Summary

The buzz: Recruiting. If acquiring and retaining top talent for your company tougher than ever, three factors may be at play: workforce mobility mindset, competitors' poaching, and your employer brand. If the third comes as a surprise, here's a reality check. Just as customers check social media for product and service reviews, potential job recruits are combing the Web for insider info about you, the employer. Are your talent leaders helping or hindering your brand? The experts speak. Tim Sackett, HRU Technical Resources: "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called "EVERYBODY", and they meet at the bar." (Drew Carey). Chrissy Glover, GlassDoor: "What you deny or ignore, you delay. What you accept and face, you conquer." (Robert Tew). Jessica Miller-Merrell, Xceptional HR: "Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make something simple." (Willie Woody Guthrie) Join us for The Yelpification of Recruiting – Part 2.
