Following yesterday’s post on future recruiting technology, which looking back should have read future talent management technology, here is an example of thing I am seeing in the market. SAP has built a Social Network Analyzer prototype for inside the organisation. (Hat tip James Governor.) It aggregates existing enterprise data to display and discover organizational relationships. It providesContinue reading “Internal Social Network Analysis”

The future of recruiting technology
I have been thinking a lot recently about the future of recruiting technology. While social networking is all the rage at the moment it is not new, and was first seen as a recruitment tool at least two to three years ago if not longer. So where to next? I usually look at future technologyContinue reading “The future of recruiting technology”
Future Summit Wrap Up
How do I summarise Future Summit 2009? (Credits: From Flickr aussiegall) I guess the best way as being talked to for 25 hours in a 36 hour period! This is a very different format to many of the other events I attend which tend to be more collaborative. This lack of collaborative time where the participants wereContinue reading “Future Summit Wrap Up”

Thoughts from Web Directions 2008
On Thursday and Friday last week I attended Web Directions South 2008, my first web only conference in a while. Overall it was a good event, but like most conferences there were some up & downs. Probably the biggest two downs were the opening Key Note and the lack of coffee on arrival on FridayContinue reading “Thoughts from Web Directions 2008”
Jobs on the go
Over the last couple of weeks I have been pondering the impact of the mobile web on recruitment. As such I have been thinking through several possible use cases but at this stage I have not found the killer app. We have already seen several companies trying to use SMS notifications for job adverts andContinue reading “Jobs on the go”
Video resumes in the Australian marketplace
I am still busy reviewing what HR and recruitment progress I missed in the last 2 years while I worked in pure IT roles. One area that still seems to be bubbling along slowly is the video resume, with opinions on if they are good or bad, we now even have our own player inContinue reading “Video resumes in the Australian marketplace”
New model for management
Couple of related posts appeared in my feed reader today. First was from Mark Pesce who wrote about the fact that education provided in schools currently does not reflect modern communication cultures. When a kid goes to school they have to disconnect from the “hyperconnected” world. What this means, in a practical sense, is thatContinue reading “New model for management”
