Objective - Hire Top Talent

There is a great article in Fortune magazine this month (February 3, 2014, go to Fortune.com) about hiring top talent. The most interesting thing about the article is not the hiring of top talent which has been a mantra for HR for many years but how they are hired. 

The article indicates that most HR executives have been blindsided by people looking for jobs using their mobile devices and not the traditional new wave of using the website. 82% of the 1,000 job seekers surveyed by Glassdoor.com said they expected to use their mobile devices during idle time to look for jobs. 

HR get readjusted and make sure you are not on the long end of this trend. Candidates want things on the palm of their hand, not a laptop or desktop anymore.
