Talent Acquisition and Management: Using Emerging Technologies and Analytics to Create and Maintain a High-Performance Workforce explains how to use the latest tools to hire, manage, and retain the top talent in your industry. The book, for companies of all sizes in all industries, also explains emerging human resources best practices and processes, and how to implement the technologies that enable them all. Using case studies from practitioners, Talent Acquisition and Management will cover the entire employee lifecycle, from recruitment to talent management to all core human resource  processes—everything HR managers and senior executives should know to maximize the performance of the workforce and retain talent for the  long term.

HR expert Kevin Grossman, author of Tech Job Hunt Handbook, shares his expertise about new software that goes beyond payroll and core HR systems and helps you analyze, automate, and continually reconfigure powerful HR processes. He explains how to evolve beyond expensive, IT-dependent, legacy on-premise software, data repositories, and spreadsheet records by  implementing software-as-a-service and cloud-based systems that allow for robust data management and predictive analytics. As you’ll learn, recruiting and talent management software today, coupled with mobile and social functionality, compliance and diversity reporting, and predictive analytics, can help you identify the best candidates, hire them, and retain them. It can also help you pinpoint staffing and training needs now and in the future.

But it doesn’t end there. As most managers are now aware, individuals are loyal to the work they do first, then the teams they work with, and then the organizations they work for. As a result, it’s increasingly important to ensure employees feel valuable in the work they do—and on their own terms. This book shows how to employ continuous performance review and training that emphasizes knowledge development, skills acquisition, and recognition to keep emotional engagement high and employees feeling worthwhile.

In short, Talent Acquisition and Management: Using Emerging Technologies and Analytics to Create and Maintain a High-Performance Workforce will give line managers and HR executives  insights and the technical edge to better align their talent strategy with business goals to improve employment branding, retention, revenue growth, and profitability.
