    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.
