Every company and organization in the world is looking for better talent. The problem is that the quest for talent is typically a zero-sum game for employers. The world’s most talent people are typically employed, so the only way to hire them is to steal them from someone else; however, there are some exceptions. The Center for Talent Innovation is a non-profit think tank that focuses on these exceptions. They’re based in New York, NY and have a two-fold mission: “to drive ground-breaking research that leverages talent across the divides of gender, generation, geography and culture; and to create a community of senior executives united by an understanding that full utilization of the global talent pool is at the heart of competitive success.”

Be Fully Utilized

Right now you’re probably raising your hand and saying, “Hey! Look here! I’m not fully utilized.” College recruiting is one area that is still primed for innovation, though it doesn’t seem to be the focus for the Center for Talent Innovation. If you take a look at their Initiatives and Research, you’ll get a better feel for the kind of problems they’re focused on. I’d imagine this is largely driven by the organization’s member companies which include AIG, American Express, Google, HP, and AT&T. If this kind of research sounds interesting to you, take a look at the Center for Talent Innovation’s job posting for a Research Associate on Idealist.
