Does Talent Acquisition Have a Dirty Little Secret?
by Randy Samsel, eSearch Talent Solutions
One session from a few years ago stood out to me, though, as it helped clarify the challenges facing older workers in the job market. Bob Danna, former Managing Director of Deloitte Consulting, discussed the Future of HR with an emphasis on digital transformation. Bob covered a wide range of trends stemming from research conducted at Bersin by Deloitte, the HR Consulting arm of Deloitte.
