Labor Shortage 9
Ira Wolfe is a relentlessly self-promoting fellow with a message.
The Perfect Labor Storm is fast
approaching and The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0 is "powerful stuff –
enough to make any manager gasp" says one reader, the best forecast
you can buy to plan your employee recruitment and retention
programs.
Aging workers, retiring baby boomers, rising health care costs,
shortages of skilled workers, generational gaps, work ethics are
just a few of the workforce demographic and socio-economic events
that are colliding to produce the biggest shortage of skilled
workers in the United States and many other developed countries.

Deep Release: HODES iQ AND ABERDEENGROUP PUBLISH TALENT ACQUISITION STUDY
Research provides strategies on winning the war for talent
Hodes iQ, Bernard Hodes Group's award-winning talent management product, is pleased to announce it has underwritten a landmark study by Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS). The study, titled "The Global War for Talent: Getting What You Want Won't Be Easy," will be available for free for a limited time at www.hodesiq.com, or at www.aberdeen.com.
Hodes iQ supports Aberdeen's main assertion that the top recruiting challenge companies face is, "finding the right talent at the right time." As the urgency for organizations to focus on talent acquisition grows, so does the need for companies to prioritize workforce planning. However, the report shows only 47% of all companies indicated they have a talent acquisition strategy in place, and only 30% felt that their strategy was well-integrated within the company. The report represents responses from over 600 organizations and provides a roadmap for companies who desire to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of talent acquisition through Best-in-Class strategies.
"All of us in recruiting need to be able to source, attract, and retain the best candidates – not just to win a war for talent, but to extend the business' competitive advantage," said Jeremy Shapiro, VP, E-Recruiting Solutions, Hodes iQ. Adds Shapiro "Our belief is that companies using Hodes iQ will be better equipped to support Best-in-Class recruiting that not only creates efficiencies, but seats Human Resources at the executives table as a true business partner."
"Nearly two-thirds of Best-in-Class performers have a talent acquisition strategy that is part of their organization's human capital management strategy", said Kevin Martin, Research Director, Human Capital Management at Aberdeen Group. "The data shows that companies that take a more strategic and holistic approach to talent acquisition are much more likely to improve key performance indicators such quality of hire, time to hire, and cost per hire".
