What is War for Talent

Chapter 16
Handbook of Research on E-Transformation and Human Resources Management Technologies: Organizational Outcomes and Challenges
The “War for Talent” was introduced by Elizabeth G. Chambers, Mark Foulon, Helen Handfield-Jones, Steven M. Hankin and Edward G. Michaels III in “The McKinsey Quarterly” (Vol. 1) 1998 discussing an expected talent shortage on the labor market. They pointed out that talent matters and that companies who are successful on the market are those who are the best with locating, assessing, recruiting, and keeping the most talented people. More and more companies start to “fight” for the most talented people and become competitors on the labor market as well.

Abstract
In 2007 Erickson and Gratton asked “What it means to work here” and discussed the need for a structured approach to establishing an employer image among potential employees. In July 2007, Lee also proposed an architecture for a next-generation holistic e-recruiting system. Based on these ideas and a design science approach we propose an extension of this framework by adding employer branding as an important new component and structured sub-process. Based on an extensive review of IS and HR literature, we show how employer branding should be integrated into the existing architecture to develop and implement an effective employer branding strategy. The results are a first step towards an architecture for a holistic e-HR management system.
