Talking Points: Podcast with Ronald L. Katz

Ron, when your white paper from 1999 titled “Recruiting Strategies for Today’s Staffing Trends” was published, the unemployment rate was 4.3% -- how has the recruiting function changed over the past 10 years, as we enter 2010 and a new decade?
How have the organizations your company consults with changed over the past several years, regarding employee performance and workforce analytics?
Here are a few recurring themes you hear from HR professionals and recruiters I’d like you to address:

Disconnect from IT:

Denied needed data from officials in other departments
Drown in useless data
Data is housed in different systems and the systems may or may not talk to one another (i.e. a recruiting system or a talent management system)

Let’s shift our focus from data management and IT challenges to C-Suite and Leadership issues frustrating HR departments and recruiters:

Budget cuts. Impossible to meet C-level expectations with no $
It seems the story for the past couple of years has gone from less resources to constrained resources to NO resources.
So, now HR is dealing with less resources, less people and no money!
Not getting business buy-in
Succession planning? Really? With no money?
