When was the last time you saw The Wizard of Oz and hummed along with that catchy tune "If I Only Had a Brain"? Clearly, there are moments when we all could use more brain-age . . .But what is seriously in need of a brain transplant is the search process in general.
Most recruiters think of research in a highly transactional, cookie cutter kind of way. ("Just give me names.") That is such a wasted opportunity. At The Good Search (a retained search and retained research firm) we're total geeks when it comes to research. We embed it into virtually every step of the search process for a competitive advantage . . .we use it to inform search strategy, to make searches bullet proof, and to drive time-to-hire down to near zero. HCI is powerful stuff.
If research functions as "the brain" of search and if your search organization hasn't yet tapped the power of "human capital intelligence", it is time, my friend, to give it a try. For inspiration, I've copied a link to a rare, previously deleted scene from The W of O. Have a look while you contemplate ways to search smarter, not harder, through the use of intelligence.
