Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces about reviewing your talent assessment practices, the future of employee learning, trying a different part of the talent pool, and John Sullivan’s suggests for top recruiting topics.
From Shelly Funderburg: Could Your Talent Assessment Practices Use a Spring Cleaning?
“I started my spring cleaning last weekend by packing away my wool sweaters (wishful thinking living in the Midwest!) I think a similar exercise applied to talent management practices is a good idea for organizations as well. Talent practices that have served you well in the past may need to be shelved. Talent models could use some polishing to meet the demands of 2013 and beyond. And, like furnace filters, other tools may need replacing if your talent strategies have changed significantly.”
From Stephen J. Gill: Future of Employee Learning
“‘if anybody says to you here’s where learning will be in five years, run in the other direction.’ This is what Elliott Masie, Founder & President of The MASIE Center, said this week at the beginning of his Keynote session at the Human Capital Media Symposium for Chief Learning Officer. Masie went on to talk about trends that have the potential for changing the field dramatically. I want to expand on the three trends that have the most salience for me.”
From Anne Perschel: Full Stop: You’re Searching the Wrong End of the Talent Pool
“You’re looking for high potential talent who will quickly reach and sustain peak performance, but chances are your looking in the wrong end of the talent pool. Here’s why.”

“So if you have the responsibility for setting agendas or recruiting goals, here is my list of truly advanced recruiting topics that elite leaders would find compelling, but that most others would simply find to be out of their reach. If you want to be among the elite, you should select a handful for implementation. However, even if you are currently overwhelmed by your current agenda, you might still find them to be interesting reading.”
