Pinstripe Releases Best Recruitment Practices White Paper for Human Resources Executives

RPO Pioneers Provide New Set of Rules for Attracting and Retaining Talent


BROOKFIELD, Wis., Jan. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- A breakthrough white paper published by leading recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and recruitment services firm, Pinstripe, Inc., has been launched on the Reports and Articles section of Monster Intelligence, the careers and recruitment research initiative of Monster.com (http://intelligence.monster.com/). The thought leadership piece, 10 Demandments: Rules to Live by in the Age of the Demanding Candidate, is also featured on Pinstripe's newly established Talent Mindset(tm), an online community of human resources executives.

Developed by Pinstripe in close consultation with leading HR executives and industry experts, the 10 Demandments provides HR professionals with a framework for building and sustaining relationships with talented potential candidates and employees. The paper offers employers actionable insights for identifying, attracting, engaging and retaining a highly qualified and highly motivated talent base.

"We are very pleased to be able to work with Monster to bring the 10 Demandments to HR professionals seeking insightful human capital intelligence to help with strategic HR planning," said Sue Marks, Pinstripe's CEO. "Today, attracting and retaining the best employees is all about delivering a great experience every step of the way, from identification of prospects to the interview process, then through to on-boarding and training. The 10 Demandments provides a roadmap for bringing organizations in line with the age of the demanding candidate."

"As top talent demands more and more from prospective employers -- in terms of better information, greater availability, more flexibility and ongoing attention -- companies need to radically re-think their traditional recruiting methods," added Marks. "This requires a reassessment of every aspect of the business that touches on recruiting -- from the corporate website through interview processes, to compensation, engagement and even metrics."

By registering at Talent Mindset (http://talentmindset.com) members can download the full 10 Demandments white paper and complete a web-based self-assessment to determine how well their organization responds to each of the Demandments. Pinstripe recently launched Talent Mindset as a dynamic, interactive online community to help HR executives meet their most pressing business challenge -- getting and keeping top talent. Building on the work of leading HR thought leaders, consultants and experts, Talent Mindset aims to help business leaders implement recruiting best practices not just in corporate mission statements, but throughout the organization.

Pinstripe's 10 Demandments framework was inspired by The Ten Demandments: Rules to Live by in the Age of the Demanding Consumer, the bestselling business book co-authored by Kelly Mooney and Laura Bergheim.
