Attracting top talent to an organization has never been more difficult, according to a senior recruiter with more than 18 years experience. Hamish Davidson, Veredus Executive Resourcing chairman, described some of the lessons he has learned while recruiting for the public, private and not‐for‐profit sectors, when he gave the 2004 summer lecture at Bradford University School of Management, UK. Human Resource Management International Digest editor David Pollitt was there.
