We know that in many sectors, talent is hard to find. And that is only likely to get worse in an era of sustained skill-shortages.

When skilled employees leave a company, the entire operation suffers. Generally, this is due to poor management.

Meme by Kerri Mills, who shared it in the SourceCon Facebook group. Much to the shock and disappointment of the recruiting and sourcing world, Linkedin has just announced today they have bought one of their competitors in the sourcing product category, Connectifier. I'm not sure I know how to feel about this just yet, but my first reaction is sadness because this could mean we're saying goodbye to a great tool.

Last week we wrote about how LinkedIn's decreasing engagement , especially amongst technical talent, is making it increasingly harder to attract these candidates on the platform, and how having a multi-channel, targeted strategy to sourcing and talent attraction is absolutely key. The fact is, we all know that tech talent is in high demand, and for the most part, those candidates aren't spending their time on active job and networking sites that most recruiters are sourcing talent on, like Linke

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Social recruitment seems to have almost slavishly followed the stages of the Gartner Hype Cycle. We’ve trekked over the “peak of inflated expectations” and waded through the “trough of disillusionment,” pretty soon the “slope of enlightenment” should rise ahead of us. We know that social recruitment isn’t going to replace everything else we’ve been doing but promoting your jobs to your most engaged audience makes sense.
