Description
From the CEO of CareerBuilder and professors at leading U.S. business schools comes a new book to help businesses navigate today's hiring climate and drive their business forward.
At every stage of the employee life cycle, a data-driven approach to HR can help companies make smarter decisions about their most important asset: their people. In the wake of the greatest shock to the labor market since the Great Depression, companies are faced with looming skill shortages, retention concerns, and questions regarding the most effective composition of their workforce.
Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder, offers hiring professionals and business leaders a roadmap to attract and retain top talent. Ferguson and coauthors Lorin Hitt (Wharton School) and Prasanna Tambe (NYU's Stern School) commissioned a landmark big data study of more than 2,700 employers and 33 million resumes to find the relationship between market performance, education attainment, and employee tenure. The findings are enlightening--and quite surprising.
The Talent Equation explores:
The ROI of increased education levels and retention rates
The benefits of continuous recruitment and talent pipelines technology market, and how workforce analytics tools are changing talent acquisition
The importance of reducing longterm unemployment through training and reskilling
Smart and timely, The Talent Equation also incorporates case studies from leading brands--both global and domestic--that further illustrate staffing issues facing executives today. The insights and research in the book are invaluable tools for anyone who wants to build and retain a dynamic, competitive, and productive workforce.
Matt Ferguson is the president and CEO of CareerBuilder, the global
leader in human capital solutions. Ferguson took CareerBuilder to the No. 1
position in the online recruitment industry within five years.
Lorin Hitt is a Professor of Operations and Information Management at
University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School.
Prasanna Tambe is an Assistant Professor of Information, Operations and
Management Sciences at New York University, Stern School.
