Working at LinkedIn, leading TA - I feel like a kid in a candy store!
Sharing a little background
I love working in the talent world – I’m not only the TA leader, but I’m “talent” as well
Story background – buying directories
Talent are calling the shots now
Recruiting is now very different than 5 years, even a year ago
The recruiting organization who figures out how to extract the value of the web’s people data and how to then build a recruiting team model to operationalize this @ scale will define the future of talent acquisition.
NOTE: TBD, is this work?
Share story
But then, I heard “stop” <transition to next slide>
<speak slowing, showing emphasis>
<transition to next after you complete the story>
So let’s start again, with the right plan
What do you see here? It’s the ever-hard to find purple squirrel. You may even call it the purple unicorn. Either way, it’s the metaphorical image for the perfect candidate.
Let’s talk about how we start executing and operating using the future of data NOW…TODAY.
In the States we call the impossible to find candidate the “purple squirrel” because they don’t exist.
Raise your hand if you have every worked with a hiring manager who is asking you to recruit a type of candidate who simply doesn’t exist. They are asking for too much.
The Engineer with a PhD from Oxford who also speaks Italian, can lead teams, can also sell to customers and has worked at a multinational, a start-up and is now working at either company X, Y or Z.
…Can any of you relate with that?
Well we can now start using structured data to educate our clients, our executives and hiring managers about the market and the “addressable candidate pool”.
What does this do for our function?
It builds credibility.
Let’s take a look at an actual example from LinkedIn.
This was from an actual search we conducted for a Data Center Manager. David Henke, our SVP of Engineering, was under the gun, putting huge pressure on recruiting to get the search filled.
We met with David to understand his requirements seen here. Told him we would be back in an hour to talk further. We knew that this was going to be very hard to fill, but we didn’t want to get in to a debate with our
Sr. Vide President. So we went away, pulled some data and returned to his office to meet him.
This slide shows us who we’re winning talent from, and who we’re losing talent to. As you might expect, red means we’re losing talent to the organizations listed on the left, and green means we’re winning talent from those organizations. [NOTE: this isn’t our actual data, but we’re sharing it here as an example of what we review regularly]
The left-hand side of this slide is fairly straightforward: we can see how many hires we’ve made from those companies in the past four quarters, and how many hires they’ve made from us.
On the right side, we’ve calculated that data as a ratio.
We can watch this data over time to understand what’s trending. It helps us identify competitive hiring risks or areas where we need more focus.

Brands can no longer hide who they are
We need to change the way we look at recruiting and talent. We need to lead in new ways, increase our partnerships, operationalize our worlds, listen a lot more and lead with data.
Everything I shared is available to each one of us. It’s all possible. And the new world of talent is an amazing opportunity for TA, like never before.
In fact, it’s your opportunity. You leverage all of these lessons and learnings to for your brand and organization and make your talent strategy amazing.
The question I have, who will be on this stage next year telling us about their story? And the year after that and after that.
