Whale Watching
� More aggressive recruiting tactics are being used in the corporate environment
� Sometimes referred to as predatory recruiting

of networking

Manager Involvement in the Process
� Movement toward manager self service
� Goal is to establish accountability for hiring
� In what part of the hiring process do we really want the manager to be engaged?
Once you finish entering those requisitions, HR said we should have at least five top quality candidates to talk to in just 4 weeks!

The Quality Challenge
� The tools and technologies offer the promise of higher quality
� The speed of the competitive talent market is shortening the time we have to get to know a candidate
� Assessments help, but we still do not know the true quality until after we see the person in action
� Quality of hire measures can only take place post hire– Engagement survey– Manager survey, performance review– Peer review

Stepping up to the challenge
� Rather than attempting to improve the filtering process to increase the quality of the output
� We should focus on putting higher quality candidates into the funnel
� How?

Building a Manager’s Network
� Manager’s should be engaged in maintaining a network of talent
� True networking is not aggressive
� It is about establishing and leveraging relationships
� There is value exchange in a relationship
� A value based network becomes a sustainable source

ACHIEVE TALENTMANAGEMENT SUCCESS
A shift in thinking
� Rather than building the biggest possible funnel
� Establish a small network of talent to meet the hiring needs of a single manager
� Create a network community by delivering value to the members
– Routine gatherings, online or in person
– Web portals for content and collaboration
– Turn acquaintances into relationships
– Engage in activities to get to know each other
� Hiring people we know, increases quality

What we learned
• Don’t apologize for asking managers to network – instead, make it part of “How we do things here” and our partnership
• Build simple, online tools. Example: “Linkedin Tip Sheet”• Teach them how. Example: “Getting Great Talent” workshop• Peer Pressure works. Recruiters recognize managers who do it well• Difficult to measure ROI right away, it’s a shift in thinking and takes
time• Share the results you do have, early and often to build adoption

Taking it to the next level
� It is widely accepted that the stronger the network the better results
� How do we measure the strength of a person’s network today?– Number of entries in the rolodex– Contacts in the outlook folder– Number of connections on Linked-in
� Anecdotal references– “She is really well connected”– “He knows everyone and their brother”
� What if we apply the principles of Network Theory?

Social Capital
� "refers to the collective value of all 'social networks' and the inclinations that arise from these networks to do things for each other“
� social capital can be measured by the amount of trust and "reciprocity" in a community or between individuals
