Now they need to start acting like they mean it. In a world where demand for IT talent outstrips supply and adaptive skills are highly prized, companies need to be bolder and more deliberate in their workforce strategies. How are organizations transforming their approach to talent — particularly as they seek to recruit and retain specialist IT staff with the skills required to implement radical change? How much should they rely on machines to guide their decision-making? And how can leaders bring technology, people and process closer together? To answer these questions, Experis, ManpowerGroup's IT professional resourcing and managed services company, surveyed 40,000 hiring decision- makers in 40 countries. We also conducted in-depth interviews with eight global talent and technology leaders spanning industries and functions, each with an expert perspective on the challenges ahead. Our research suggests leaders should throw out their old assumptions about how to recruit and develop people. Instead, they should be guided by workforce data, a clear talent philosophy and a willingness to experiment. 1 / Opening Up The Middle To tap workforce potential and reskill employees to fill the gaps and meet the challenges that lie ahead 2 / Finding The Hidden Talent To identify new sources of talent with the best potential 3 / Trusting The Data Strategy To use data to get better results from recruitment, retention and workforce strategy 4 / Leading With Confidence So that talent leaders can adapt to – and win a new workplace reality Everyone is looking in the same places, so these are the perfect circumstances to look at talent in a different way.
