Bersin & Associates Creates Talent Acquistion Practice

October 14, 2010 – Bersin & Associates, a research and consulting firm focused on enterprise learning and talent management, has introduced a new practice focused on talent acquisition. The new practice gives business leaders tools to improve their recruitment and hiring strategies by providing business-focused research, benchmarking, case studies, and advisory and consulting services. “Despite the high unemployment rate, recruiting today is tougher than ever,” said Josh Bersin, CEO of Bersin & Associates. “The huge influx of resumes, coupled with a lack of mobility in the workforce, makes it more difficult to hire high quality candidates. Compounding this stress, advancements in social networking and sourcing, video interviewing, and new assessment technologies are changing the process of corporate recruiting.”
