Case Application 2 Spotting Talent
Attracting and selecting the right talent is critical to a company’s success. For tech companies, the process is even more critical since it’s the knowledge, skills, and abilities of their employees that determines these companies’ efficiency, innovation, and ultimately, financial achievements. So, how do companies like Google and Facebook and even IBM and Microsoft attract the talent they need? As you’ll see, these companies use some unique approaches.
In trying to attract qualified candidates with technical skills and knowledge to consider a career at IBM, the mature tech company brought its Watson computer that beat two former Jeopardy champions in a televised match to Carnegie Mellon’s campus where students got a chance to challenge the computer during a symposium on Watson.
