    And then there will be plenty of companies who still hire people they just happened to run into by chance…

    Love the bit about “mute this alert unless negative sentiment rises above a level pre-agreed with PR”!

    @Sjors – Yep they certainly will. However the speed at which the close the deal will be critical. Oh yeah have the throw PR a bone somewhere ;-) .

    Michael –

    Nice. All those meetings face-to-face?

    @Gerry yes they are but they don’t need to be, I hope by 2020 we will have figured out the whole telepresence thing.

    Interesting post. I understand the reluctance to change the HR job function and rather focus on future state technology. Your vision could very well be the future of HR, but if that is the case, I would have viewed this as a disappointment. I believe HR has a much more expansive and critical role in the future corporation. However, it will need to decouple itself from many of the functions are run counter to the express purpose of what HR should be; to help employees perform better in their jobs.
    I also have to correct the focus on competencies, which have failed to yield any useful insight into the employee and human performance. The future state HR organization will need to be much more detailed, precise and fair in regards to how it measures the capability of workers.

    I’m suprised that even 10 years from now that Paul still hadn’t learnt to post a job on the internal job board before conducting an external search!
    Recruiting from inside the organisation (or at least through a referral from an employee) should surely be the preferred approach?
