Whereas virtually all functional areas of corporations have experienced significant transformation since inception, recruiting has not. Management has yet to order the transformation of the recruiting function to more closely align with business objectives and to offer more strategic support to their organizations.
A recruiting group must go through a series of changes before it can become more solutions-centric than requisition-oriented. The resulting organization will exploit proactive opportunities, serve as a consultative partner for talent, and deliver value that meets or exceeds client expectation.
