• #4: Also I hope you enjoyed the presentationHere’s the agenda, I promise to keep it to an hour and for it to be engaging.Context
• #6: CEOs say it is (our survey says its not) Less than 10% of organisations have a talent metric for the top teamEveryone agrees it is important and the data backs it upWhat makes it so difficult to implement …because of human behaviour and the inability to be totally scientificHR Directors are paid significantly lower than Heads of IT and FinancePwc hiringvs client salesHuman behaviour is a challenge Who wants to be a millionaire in RussiaUltimatum game -
• #7: People are not rationalGood nes for trecruiters – machines wont replace us – will talkmore about this laterAlso Malcolm Gladwell in his book Blink talks about Warren harding who became president of the United States in 192x?.
• #10: Conclusion – hiring is very difficultFirst you need to find the right people and either you find none or you are swamped with applicationsThen you need to be clear who is right for youThen they need to want you…not as straightforward as it seems given people are not rational
• #11: Ownership of the cost of hiring and it is spread across the businessEveryone can easily blame someone else – it was the manager, the process was too slow, what chance do we have against googleetcJust when you are ready to hire is not very linked to when someone may want to wrok for youHow often do you fob someone off when they may be the next excellent employeeHiring Top talent does not necessarily work when filling a job, a job is about skills not success factors, measure performance not personalityStory – trying to get into a company –when no job there
• #13: Just to highlight job board still come ourt strong in all pollsIf you want a receptionist – you want to use a job board not a social media platformThere are manay jobs where lots of people can do it
• #16: So now you know how Google can be used, we will look at the most favoured of search sites linkedin and I will give you a few ideas on how you can use this simply to find candidates
• #17: Here’s the point though – its another tool, nothing more and one that needs to be respectedOnly 10-30% of Professionals are Actively LookingWhat about the other 80% So linkedin’s sale is that jobsites are not the whole population. Don’t limit your reach in terms of size of quality. Go where the best are.But ensure you u/s how to approach themThe flipside is many people are not on jobsites because they are happy and don’t want to be contacted and you could argue there are many people on jobsites that are not on linkedin

• #19: They say the best time to approach someone is 6 months after they have left your company alumni groups make this easySet it up and monitor and manageBe clear up front how much time you will give itThere are 1.2 million groups on LI – needs to count!
• #20: ACTION: Your company page, your employee profiles and your ability to actively source….plus a ROI
• #21: So now we are into the realm of more social less business networkingFacebook is a way of staying in touch and companies love to stay in touch so its obvious that they are going to look at recruiting through itQuestion - Who is on facebook, who is not on facebookIts ok if you don’t get facebook, there are people out there who don’t get digital cameras, bus lanes, talk radio and lots of other things, You do not have to love it. But do you need to understand it – absolutelyIts not going away and the biggest growth demographic is ladies 35 – 45…so its not just for kids.The other point though is that if you do not get it you won’t really be able to use it to recruit as you can do more harm than good to your brand.Finally – it is an amazing thing, anything that grows this quickly at least needs to be understood if not loved, so get understanding!

• #26: They say the best time to approach someone is 6 months after they have left your company alumni groups make this easySet it up and monitor and manageBe clear up front how much time you will give itThere are 1.2 million groups on LI – needs to count!
• #27: Be careful of setting it up and not using it Are you checking comments daily – what if someone says “this is an awful place to work” or worse something funny and viral You need time to respond to things...Again – it does not matter what you think of facebookDo they see themselves as competing in the recruitment spaceAre people putting up as much personal information as before and where are we going with privacy legislationIf you don’t have a facebook page its not the end of the world – its better than having one and not using itCompanies who use it well – McDonalds, Puma, E&Y
• #28: Michael Devine had a photo of him shooting an uzi and smiling – fundraiser for a policeman officer who needed a bone marrow transplant

• #33: Wallet, phone and keys – ipad too bigPeople ofteno not bringing pcs anymore…
• #40: 5 Exabyes of information was created from the dawn of time to 2006…now that amount of information is created every 2 days!Tesco online example
• #41: Henry's prowess as a steel-driver was measured in a race against a steam powered hammer, which he won only to die in victory with his hammer in his handDeep Blue vskasparovWatsonvs JeopardyThis debate will go on and on and on.  You know where I stand – the traditional resume will not die, but there is room for other “things” to come in and fill some gaps.Enter the Social Resume.

• #44: Now we are down to 9 yes 9 results, and if you have done this 5/6 times that entire process can take about 45 seconds.Finally I would love if this business analyst with a telcos background based in Dublin had also worked at Aviva so I will just try by adding in the word AvivaAlso mining data through referral engines
• #45: ·         Watches your network·         Alerts to potential job seekers·         Alerts to moves and promotions ·         Great tool for business development
• #47: You think you are a great company to work for =- that’s why you are hring – maybe everyone else does not think the sameBig brands can scream opportunity but also bureacuracyStart ups can scream opportunity or riskySMEs can scream – quick decisions vs lack of brand presence..What you can control is how your people interact, as interviewees make a lot of decisions based on the interactions with the company …first impressions last
• #49: What are the candidate touchpoints like for your hires?How easy is it too apply to you?How easy is it for a talented employee to tell you they are interested in working for you
• #51: People want to work for a “good Company”Look at areas such as Junior Achievement which is an incredible employee engagement tool, others such as …
• #52: Info on companies not using email after hours“an exceptional employee is not just a little better than someone who is pretty good they are 100 times better” Mark Zuckerberg “

• #62: Regression towards the meanChecklists are another way to promote objectivity. In job interviews, for example, the “halo effect” causes people to weigh first impressions too heavily, to ignore a person’s drawbacks if they charm at first flush. In interviews and clinical consultations, Kahneman favours statistical analysis of standardised questionnaires. Holistic judgments of well-being or character, at least on their own, are overly prone to distortion.

• #67: Derwent Capital Markets (a family owned hedge fund) will offer investors the chance to use Twitter posts to gauge the mood of the stock market.A paper by University of Manchester published in 2010 said that the number of emotional words on Twitter could be used to predict daily moves on the Dow Jones Index.Could we begin to track human data to make better decisions – story of garyVaneyrcuk who sent a wine buyer a sgined Aaron rogers jjersy because he had been tweeting for daysabout his team – he calls it playing customer service offence!
• #68: Beat fast my Still Heart. To help promote the chances of a successful date, choose an activity that is likely to get the heart racing. Avoid slow-moving classical –music concerts, country walks and wind chimes. Instead, look towards suspense-filled films, theme parks and cycle rides. The theory is that your date will attribute their racing heart to you, rather than the activity, convincing themselves you have that special something.
• #71: Good to great – bureaucracy only exists because of the 10% who would not do it unless you checked up on themNetflix in the US gives out unlimited holidays BUT it also has a very strong performance management culture – they can work togetherHere is the other point – if you asked your teams who were the worst performers, most likely not to last – they will tell you –everyone knows – we just don’t do anything about it
