Market forces, innovations outside the industry and a general shift in the balance of hiring power and candidate abundance have caused large scale disruption. Not all disruption has improved the industry and each innovation has come with susceptibilities. Quality and efficiency have both improved and declined in various ways. Risks and costs have been more easily controlled and reduced although sometimes diminishing returns on recruiting investment.1) One degree of separation: anyone can find anyone, the six degrees of separation does not apply in the digital world2) Hard cost is King: organizations are more focused than ever on cutting hard costs, often diminishing appetite for investment3) Centralization: to gain visibility and control, processes have been standardized, supply chains have been 'streamlined'​ and power distributed away from managers4) The rise of in-house talent acquisition5) Outsourcing: more and more organizations are shifting responsibility and accountability for their non-core functions6) Purpose-driven, ethical companies are on the rise and professionals are seeking meaning and flexibility7) The war for attention: employees in every industry are in a constant battle against distraction8) The dying art of diplomacy: the richness of face to face communication is becoming chronically undervaluedThese trends and others are creating new winners and losers in the war for talent. The global marketplace is unforgiving to those who fail to respond with innovation.Lyle Alexander Consulting partners with The Ashlar Group and Triage.
