Mark Mehler

2.
50 firms filled 507,425 [US] openings last year.
(the work of ~6000 recruiters & sourcers. 80+ openings filled by each)
CXR: Large firms. Well known brands. 60% of openings filled were Exempt level.

CXR: The hires reported are not representative of the total workforce

4.
Is there FULL TIME hiring being done in the US within your
firm that you do NOT oversee?
We touch or know about EVERY
F/T hire or move.
We don't hire for union
positions
We don't hire hourly workers in
our Mfg. facilities
We don't hire hourly workers
for store level
We don't hire for every
function (i.e. field sales)
We don't hire for every location
We don't hire for every division
CXR: The Talent Acquisition function does not match the full ‘Scope’ of F/T hiring for 40% of firms.

5.
Contract, Contingent, Part-Time, Flex-Time:
What PERCENTAGE of your US workforce is NOT F/T i.e. Contract, Contingent etc.?
Weighted Average= 17.7%
CXR: Do we even know where purchasing ‘sourced’ these ‘not-employees’?
How can employers build strategy w/o oversight of ALL those who work at the firm?
One in 6 workers are contingent
They are generally not tracked
by TA or TM

6.
RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING (RPO)
ALL of the US F/T hiring is done with our own Recruiters.
GLOBAL hiring is done with company recruiters- that
report straight or dotted line to a TA Leadership team.
GLOBAL hiring is done with decentralized company
recruiters- that DO NOT report to US TA Leadership.
We've outsourced SOME F/T US recruiting (division, sales,
etc.) to an outside RPO vendor.
We've outsourced SOME F/T Global recruiting (division,
sales, etc.) to an outside RPO vendor.
We've outsourced MOST F/T US recruiting (division, sales,
etc.) to an outside RPO vendor.
We've outsourced MOST F/T Global recruiting (division,
sales, etc.) to an outside RPO vendor.
We've outsourced ALL F/T US recruiting (division, sales,
etc.) to an outside RPO vendor. There are no recruiters as
EEs.
Something Other than the answers above
CXR: RPO is rebounding in large
firms. Rifle approach this time
around. Good news is TA partners.
More than ½ of
responding firms
use RPO services in some
form

7.
INTERNATIONAL HIRING:
Which statement below best represents your access to SOH
CXR: We are looking forward [soon] when data is available country by country
We Don't Hire Globally
We Hire Globally but have no data or,
getting the data would be a major
undertaking
We Hire Globally and have Numbers of
Hires (in most countries) but no
Breakdown of Sources
We have it all and would be able to
benchmark by country if the
opportunity presented itself.

8.
191,425 openings were filled from within in 2013
CXR: 45 firms reported internal numbers. (5 firms had no #s and/or did not track internal moves)

9.
41.9% of all openings are filled
through internal movement and promotion
#1 Source of Hire
CXR: The importance of collaboration between TA and TM is seen clearly in this #.

10.
Do you have SOURCERS?
9.3%
CXR: The trend to incorporate sourcing, exec, branding, analytics and operations specialties continues.

11.
How do you collect SOH Data? (Check ALL)
CXR: Employers are using multiple sources to
confirm/audit SOH accuracy. Still shaky.

Appendix: What do you plan to do differently in 2014?
ORGANIZATIONAL/STRATEGY
- Centralizing
- We are hiring an external company to do a full TA assessment--it should begin soon. I expect there will be many changes implemented that come from the
assessment recommendations.
- Expect multiple changes in recruiting strategy - increasing quality of recruitment staff
- We'll likely spend less (have budgeted for less) next year...as most people, we've been tasked with "doing more with less!"
- Consolidating recruiting resources centrally and unifying tools and processes
- More spend and strategy is focused outside the US in 2014.
- Improve our processes and implement enabling technology. Reskilling recruiters and driving talent acquisition as an organizational capability.
- Target Lists of Prospective Top 20 Candidates for Each Line of Business within Each National Region. (to be maintained by Senior Leader for each group)
- We are implementing a new CRM tool to better manage our passive and referral candidates. We are also going to add to staff and hire on additional recruiters
to handle the ever increasing hiring needs of our internal clients.
- More emphasis on global mobility initiatives to support internal moves.
- We may be adding non-exempt recruiting next year to our responsibility. This will increase the number of recruiters and budget/resources significantly.
SOURCING
- Increasing internal Sourcing resources
- Strategy will be more sourcing candidate focused.
- We plan to decrease spend on contingency search through leveraging our internal sourcing team.
- The biggest focus this year is to create a new sourcing team to build pipelines for our hard to fill roles. The goal is to reduce the time to find for those positions
to 0 days and to dramatically decrease agency spending.
- External Agencies
- Continue to focus on building sourcing team capabilities.
- We will place emphasis on the sourcing of our hires in 2014 with identified, full-time sourcers in the identified markets.
- More focused sourcing
- More emphasis on internal sourcing capability and career sites.

- 2014 will be much larger shift to social engagement
- Add talent communities for specific groups. Improve SEO & SEM strategies.
- More focus on branding the company as a great place to work
JOB BOARDS
- Minimizing job boards
- Moved away from job board spend
- Less money on job boards.
- Less posting, traditional job boards
- Some less spend on boards
