Where Talent and Tech Meet

摘要

Business cycles produce every type of metric imaginable, but it's the U.S. Department of Labor's monthly jobs report that tends to steal the spotlight. In recent years, these reports have offered plenty to celebrate, with an increase in hiring in every month since October 2010, including a monthly average of nearly 200,000 jobs gained in the first quarter of 2015. But even if you study that headline-grabbing number closely, you might have difficulty spotting the tech-based transformation hidden beneath the statistics. The parameters that have long governed the connection between talent and the organizations in need of it are fading. The question of how to find a given set of employee skills is now being answered with stunning speed and accuracy. And the revolution doesn't stop after recruitment and an on-target hire-it includes critical new pathways to higher productivity.
