• The Emergence of The Resume Database (Applicant Tracking Systems)
• Sourcing Automation (Job Boards, Online Salary Data, Relationship Management Systems)
• The beginnings of credentialing and screening automation

The waves come at a predictable frequency and are usually about driving costs from administrative expense to value multiplication. It's still unclear but the breakthroughs might come from:

• XML based candidate communications channels (putting the relationship in ERMS)
• The rearrangement of the current process to move sourcing and screening before the requisition (the introduction of Life Cycle Cost models in Employment)
• Smart Mobs of candidates (broad use of multiple controlled communications)
• Radical integration of work (from specialization to generalization)
• Market based compensation, project based employment
• The use of network science to manage talent pools and workforces.
• A new form of labor organization (talent agents, guilds)
• Organizational Development rooted in real science not Human Potential Psychology
• Changes in the meaning of employee polling and surveying

What we know for sure is that the process will involve real Research and Development. In pure R&D, the failure rate of new ideas is 99%.
