People need to think ahead and prepare for future hiring just as much as current searches. Technology can really help here. Barrett ZoomInfo PowerSearch: Find Talent Very well said.

Recessions or hard times no matter what you call is does bring about innovations and new ways of accomplishing goals. Mix in the fact that our country will be seeing a wave of people retiring from the baby boom generation leaving less of an experienced candidate pool to fish from. I think we are going to see companies looking for innovative and cost effective ways to source and recruit new candidates. Social Networking is only the tip of the big iceberg floating out in cyber space. Video Job Postings and Name Generation sourcing methods that reach people otherwise not on the job boards is going to become a huge factor in staffing. Many of the new recruiting methods are going to be viral in nature and cause recruiting departments to have to rethink the ways they attract candidates.

Globally we see economic advantages/disadvantages and ethical dilemmas. However, through social networking we see how small the world really is today. When I say HR will look at the employee/candidate holistically, I mean HR will consider all aspects: mental, physical, psychological, age, and personality. This may lead to brain scans (especially for job rotation so as not to expose any employee to unwelcome environmental hazards for too long a period), personality testing (job matching, career development), physical testing, and age accommodations. Looking at the employee/candidate holistically will not be done for discrimination or screening purposes so much as for job matching, coaching & mentoring, employee wellness and career development. This trend may be a branch or development of your talent management scenario. Robin Kevin,
