HR's Struggle with Web 2.0

If people are a company's most valuable asset, why don't people see value in HR that bring and retain these valuable assets?

I think well known companies have an advantage over the unknown in terms of recruitment. In EA's case, they probably are relying their recruitment efforts on their reputation and name. Now, smaller companies that leverage technology have a better competitive advantage over big name companies. I agree with Joel that recruiting efforts should complement the companies vision. This article validates again that HR needs technology and should be involved in all aspects of the company. A company cannot be successful without both.

thanks for your thoughts Erika! technology definitely flattens the competition a bit, as smaller companies can compete (at least from a technology standpoint) with large companies. in fact, smaller companies may have an advantage given that they can switch technologies faster than large companies to take advantage on the technology innovations. thoughts?
