Friday is finally here!! There have been several valuable talent acquisition articles and posts this week. Here are a few I think you shouldn’t miss: 
The idea that HR and Marketing are very similar is reinforced in the Forbes article “HR Executives Need to Think Like the CMO.” While the article is written by a VP at Oracle and does push a few Oracle products, the points are very valuable. If you aren’t already segmenting your candidate pools and creating separate marketing plans for each of them, you are behind the curve.
In an ERE.net post, David Martin argues that we need to move to fully mobile-enabled recruiting processes. This piece reinforces the recent iMomentous’ Mobile Readiness Report that shows very few companies have accomplished a fully mobile process.
For over a decade, we’ve heard about the unique needs (or are they demands?) of the Millennials in the workforce. Check out this article, “Forget What You’ve Heard: New Data Suggests Millennial Talent is Misjudged” by Britni Salazar for an alternative view. I have long argued that this generation is really not that different from those that came before it (check out my post on the topic) and the data presented in this article confirms that.
Have you read anything this week that others shouldn’t miss? Please post it in the comments below.
Have a great weekend!
