Talent Management Systems (ePub)

Talent Management Systems addresses the transformation
Web-based technologies have brought to workforce acquisition and
management. It examines proven and leading-edge best practices, and
what tactics and strategies organizations should employ to remain
competitive in this arena. The book is part practical, offering
advice on how to institute best practices in e-recruitment and
talent management, and strategic, discussing trends and state of
the art technology and practices that should be adopted or avoided.

"We're at the brink of the next global battle in the war for
talent, and companies with a firm grasp on today's technologies,
and the best view over the horizon, are positioned to win. No one
understands the intersection of talent and technology better than
Allan Schweyer and, as this book demonstrates, no one tells us the
story as clearly as he. This is an essential read and an important
work in the now-critical discipline of human capital
management."

--Michael Foster, CEO, AIRS, and Author of Recruiting on
the Web

"Allan Schweyer has been on the leading edge of recruitment
technology since the dawn of the Internet. In many ways the
Internet has created more confusion than solutions for the world of
recruiting and talent management. It has certainly made things more
complex. HR professionals and even company presidents have become
desperate for clarity on the future of talent management-Allan
Schweyer's book provides that clarity and establishes him as the
authority on web-based hiring and talent management. No major
implementation decision should be made without this invaluable
guide."

--Graham Donald, President, Brainstorm Consulting

"Talent management has suddenly gone from being a nice idea to a
core business function. No one knows more about this new function,
and the technologies that make it possible, than Allan
Schweyer."

--David Creelman, Senior Contributing Editor,
HR.com, and Independent Human Capital Analyst

"Once again, Schweyer has produced the best writing in North
America on this subject, which I've covered for fifteen
years."

--Bill Kutik, Technology Columnist, Human Resource
Executive

"As corporate executives quickly come to the shocking
realization that the global workforce-and how that talent is
managed and developed both locally and globally--will almost
unilaterally determine their future success in global markets, few
workforce experts have bothered to provide business leaders with a
useful compass and map for the next chapter of workforce
management. Mr. Schweyer generously and eloquently provides the
talent compass and workforce map for the first pragmatic steps of
the new global journey."

--John Chaisson, CEO, Global Workforce Solutions
