There are many clear examples of how HR is responding to the current challenges and I honestly believe that the quality of HR staff is rising, as is their delivery. However, one area remains a significant cause for concern: why do the majority of HR hiring managers believe that recruiting HR staff remains something of a “lottery”? Is it that the interview process is flawed; the candidate skills mix do not match requirements, or is it a more fundamental reflection of the HR profession”s relationship with the business and view of itself? Between October and December 2011, 476 senior-level HR professionals across all industry sectors were surveyed online.
Our questions were designed to validate or disprove the “Cobbler’s Children” theory and find out statistically exactly what is happening within HR recruitment. We have 100 places available at an exclusive breakfast seminar on 1st March 2012 at the offices of the British Bankers’ Association (Old Broad Street) to discuss the results and attendance will be on a first come, first served basis I’m afraid. I hope to see you there. Richard RSVP angeladenney@oakleafpartnership.com.
