Case study: TheCompetition for Technical Talent
1-Assume for a moment that you were a small new company seeking talent that was in high demand. Based on the material in this chapter, how might you go about competing against larger and more established firms in term of how, where, when, and whom you would use to recruit the best employees?
2- Assume for a moment that you were a large and well-established company, but learned recently that many of the people you were recruiting were choosing to go to smaller and less well-known upstarts. How might you go about competing against these smaller companies in term of how, where, when, and whom you would use to recruit the best employees?
3- Assume for a moment that you were a large and well-established company that was now facing a labor surplus in some job category. Why might it be in your best interest to use some method other than layoffs to reduce this surplus, and in what sense are your options here function of how well you did in terms of forecasting demand and supply?
