? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Talent by duo authors Daniel Gross and Tyler Crowen is a guide for any new entrepreneur or young human resources professional. How to spot and retain highly talented people is the secret sauce that keeps an organization thriving. Crowen, an economics chair at George Mason University, and Gross, an investor and entrepreneur, will be sharing some of the fundamentals about how to get and keep the right people.

The book explores the complex nature of human creativity and its unpredictability, doing so, it unravels the secrets of identifying individuals with the potential to make a change within their society and their organization.

The book discusses several points in the search for impactful talent which includes how to interview people effectively, match them to the right positions, and evaluate their intelligence and personality traits. The authors also discuss how to do this through online meetings and calls, particularly after the pandemic.

It also sheds light on the undervalued and overlooked talents. Here we mean women, minorities, and people with disabilities. The authors go about defining what to look for and how to utilize them effectively. They also offer a good take on how to find professionals in the fields of gaming, sports and beauty alongside the strategy to recruit new people to join your cause and believe in your vision.

What it does not do…is mention the impact of AI on hiring and talent management nor the impact of the current conflicts on hiring trends.

You can find the book on Amazon.
