HR 2.0 is the poster child for the next wave of SaaS innovation @TechCrunch @hirimalibe The path for SaaS domination of a market segment has historically followed one of two routes: bringing previously offline workflows online, or moving on-premise software processes online.

LinkedIn vs Xing vs Viadeo in Switzerland

Wish I was in #truzurich to talk about professional social networks and their evolution during the last years.

As I am managing groups on these various networks, I experienced a shift from Xing and Viadeo to LinkedIn in Switzerland during the last few months.

Seems people who haven't been very active on LinkedIn but rather on Xing or Viadeo are now starting to build their network, get more connections, share content and take part in groups.

To corroborate this, Google Trends shows a stagnation in searches containing Viadeo & Xing but a rise in searches containing LinkedIn.

Although this doesn't reflect membership or traffic, I am curious to know whether people are experiencing the same in Germany or  France.

Compared to the extremely high levels of creativity and innovation that are found in marketing and product branding, the sourcing aspect of corporate recruiting would have to be given a grade of “F” when it comes to creativity and trying new sources.

Here is a list of 20 creative sourcing methods that proved to work, including Talent Communities.

It strikes me how common these methods are in marketing and how fearful is HR about using them.

Not all talent communities succeed equally. The most effective communities are micro-talent communities which are built around a common theme – a large corporation, selected industry, university, or geographical location.

Social Media Won't Transform Corporate Recruiting Unless It Grows Up

Via Scoop.it - Digital marketing & social media Great article on Forbes with 2 major obstacles to talent communities creation by companies:

First, a fear that companies will try to engineer communities into existence when their value lies in their authenticity. As these communities develop organically, savvy companies – having tossed out the marketing façade – will reveal their culture and establish relationships, on an equal footing, with potential hires.    

Second, an environment shapes the type and quality of interactions that take place there. Social media is no different. To truly foster a forum for connection and sharing, internet architects will need to design talent communities with these goals in mind. Jonathan Harris says: It is often called the social web, but “garrulous web” might be more appropriate. Yes, there is more social communication now than at any other time in the history of the world, but much of that communication is chatter…there needs to be a place for deeper, longer-lasting communication too…we need to take responsibility for the types of behavior those spaces are likely to encourage.

Talent community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Via Scoop.it - Talent Communities A talent community is a method of social recruiting, by relying on the collection of social cliques (or talent networks) of people that are part of the job seeking process. These people may be seeking a job themselves, offering career advice to others, recruitment professionals, college campus recruiters, sourcers, and friends seeking jobs or advice.

Building Talent Communities... Not Pools | Career Management and Workplace Culture Blog | TalentCulture.com

Via Scoop.it - Talent Communities Talent Communities are a way for employer brands to form strong bonds with potential candidates, using a human-mediated but almost purely web-managed set of interactions. Because these interactions come to us via social channels they are trusted – what McKinsey might call tacit interactions. Companies and brand managers create a Talent Community, a virtual community that represents your employer brand.   The Talent Community should be managed by a wise human – a community manager, a role the open source software industry relies on – who believes in the brand; attracting new members by relying on social-media sourced recommendations. Voila, a Talent Community arises. Show original
