challenge.

GM’s Silver Medalist Strategy
“If we had another job, that person would get an offer.”
Selection Process Creates Silver Medalist
Behavioral-based interview denotes candidate as a silver medalist
Recruiter meets a great candidate and there are no current openings
that match individual’s skills set or desired location
Place them in the Talent Community
Join the company’s talent community
Join the GM careers social space on LinkedIn or Facebook
Receive RSS feeds or emails when a job matching that’s candidate’s
interest is available.
“The sourcing team sends targeted emails when there are openings based on
their interests. This keeps GM in their minds.”

Assessment Happens Everywhere
Outside the Funnel: Goal = Attract
Tools: Employment Brand, Sourcing, Advertising
Top of Funnel: Goal = Screen Out
Tools: Qualification Screen, Biodata, Fit,
Realistic Job Preview, Resume Review
Middle of Funnel:
Goal = Evaluate, Screen in, Decide
Tools: Personality, Cognitive Ability, Integrity,
Knowledge, Skills, Situational Judgment (SJT),
Simulations, Structured Interview, Physical Ability
Bottom of Funnel: Goal = Verify
Tools: Reference Check,
Background Check,
Drug Screen

This Science is Coming to HR
Definition of “Science”:
“Systematic knowledge of the world
gained through observation
and experimentation.”
What is Not Science
Making talent decisions on the basis of
“gut feel,” “beliefs,” or “philosophies.”

Big Insurance
A $33 billion insurance company has developed a
behavioral assessment based on a set of beliefs held by
the top executives
Top sales people need college degrees from top rated
schools, they should have good grades, and they should
have experience selling high value products.
But the data proves otherwise.

Company

Data Showed Six Things Matter:
Very Highly Correlated with Success
1. No typos, errors, grammatical mistakes on resume.
2. Did not quit school before obtaining some degree
3. Had experience selling real-estate or autos
4. Demonstrated success in prior jobs
5. Ability to succeed with vague instruction
6. Experience planning time and managing lots of tasks
The Belief
System
Was Wrong
Within six months
of implementing a
new screening
process
revenues went
up by $4 million
What Did NOT Matter
• Where they went to school
• What grades they had
• The quality of their references

Notas del editor
Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever – in age, expectations, location and mobility. Our research shows that 70% of organizations are still recruiting baby boomers, while 30% will still consider hiring a candidate who has inappropriate postings on social media. Further, our new High Impact HR research shows that organizations with mixed age work forces perform better than those that are highly skewed toward younger or older workers.Nearly every organization we work with is looking for ways to grow. Whether this is geographical or line of business expansion, HR professionals are striving to develop workforces that can manage through ambiguity and rapid change. This is whyAT&T chose Bersin to redesign its performance management system, resulting in a 15% improvement in productivity in the first two yearsWhen Pfizer merged with Wyatt, they looked to Bersin to effectively consolidate two training groups into one organization, 2/3 the size of the previous team. This group cut training costs by 32% while creating innovative, high performing learning programsJetBlue University transformed their training team from request managers to performance consultants by using Bersin’s research to create a business alignment tool that ensures that the University’s resources are spent on strategically significant programs.
The fourth topic to discuss in localization is talent acquisition. We are in a war for talent around the world.

$35MM project, saving $15MM per year. New global platform and process, implementation of global assessment solutions from SHL Previsor which has dramaticaly improved quality of hire.Biggest lesson here is what I talked about last year – creating a recruiting tunnel not funnel. American express is learning to “fish in the right pond” - no longer looking for people with call center experience, but rather looking for people with a “passion to serve” – now recruiting directly from high-end hospitality companies like the Four Seasons and Marriot.
