FILLING THE BABYBOOMER GAPUsing Video Interviewing Technology

Human Capital Management professionals are facing challenges as more and more of their employees with deep cross-generational knowledge retire.

We will address a few of the challenges that we routinely see mentioned in the

current trade literature.

REPLACEMENT TALENT IS HARD TO FIND

REPLACEMENT TALENT IS HARD TO FINDGeneration Y, or “millennials”, with STEM degrees are difficult to recruit and attract, as they may be courted by any number of technology companies and startups outside of the fields they may have traditionally entered.

What i f you could post a series of recorded video interview questions the same questions you

might ask to screen candidates at a job fair or during the initial phone screen?

Consider this:

REPLACEMENT TALENTIS HARD TO TRAIN

REPLACEMENT TALENT IS HARD TO TRAINOnce the internal talent is spotted, it then becomes the manager’s responsibility to

take on the role of mentor to the protégé, and this can often be impractical due to

scheduling considerations or location differences if they work in offices spread around

the globe.

How do you find time available on everyone’s schedule that can produce an effective learning environment?

Answer: With tighter budgets, you probably don’t often have the luxury to fly every trainee in for a week’s worth

of training sessions with their mentor.

TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE IS HARD TO TRANSFER

TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE IS HARD TO TRANSFERGiving your top management team members access to a tool where they can re-

cord tribal knowledge in compact video format is a powerful way to help meet the

knowledge transfer challenge. You can always take the recorded information and

more carefully formalize them into your Learning Management Systems.

What about the knowledge your junior team members need to obtain, practice and use TODAY?
