Talent Thermodynamics
(What’s Hot & What’s Hotter)
Talent is scarce globally, with just about everywhere being a hot spot, but there are some places that are hotter than others. In other words, there are locations and industrial groups that remain relatively untapped and can still provide talent at reasonable prices with first class skill. Knowing where these are lets miners find, train and move people for a competitive edge. An experienced and connected talent search partner (who by understanding the global industry knows when and where to look) is an effective ally in the global battle for skills. |
