transcript

FTE #1: Why is it getting harder to find people with the right skills and experience?

FTE #2: Because all you used to see was confidential résumés and handpicked references. Now you've got LinkedIn and Google.

FTE #1: Shouldn't that make it easier?

FTE #2: Easier to search for the right skills and experience? Yes. Easier to pretend you have them? Not so much.

Caption: The impact of increasing transparency on the talent pool should not be underestimated.
