Strategy is not solidified in an instant or set overnight. Strategies that we trust to lead us are those that are soundly tested and roundly proven. They can rarely be developed effectively with only our own insight – effective as it may be – to guide us.
In regards to development of a human resources strategy, required above all else is the fundamental understanding that proper HR workforce management depends on the ability to manage people. As such the unique voices of people can be our best weapon.
Luckily, the digital landscape brings us no shortage of blogs or social networks – brimming with unique voices – each dedicated to human resources strategy development. Below, find our seven favorites:
Rehaul by Lance Hun
With seven years of HR experience, coupled with four years experience blogging and working with social media tools in the HR sphere, Hun can be a powerful source for those adding social elements to new or existing human resources strategy. Check out a recent post on using social recruiting tools in HR efforts for a great example of typical content.
Talent Bar
Why rely on just one HR professional when you can count on insight from several? With Talent Bar, less a traditional blog than a modernized online network for career minded professionals, you will find posts that will help immensely as you both shape your own human resources strategy (this post on ‘Leadership vs. Management‘ comes to mind) and that will hopefully shape the views of your current or future employees (3 Ways To Tell If Your Resume Sucks.)
Recruiting Blogs
With features including blogs, forums, groups, recruiting tools, and a whole host of social integration tools we don’t have room to mention here, Recruiting Blogs provides more of the social community atmosphere many of us are demanding. Of course, that wouldn’t matter if the advice provided wasn’t strong. Luckily, with posts like ‘Recruitment Strategy Development’ published more than daily, this is not an issue.
The Savage Truth
No list of essential HR and recruitment strategy blogs would be complete without mention of Greg Savage’s The Savage Truth. A sought after and controversial speaker, Savage riles, inspires and informs readers multiple times weekly with posts such as Coaching Recruiters. Shut Up and let them talk! and Here is a great idea for your next meeting. Cancel It!. Read a sampling of his latest posts we guarantee you will feel the same way.
Fistful of Talent
Looking for an HR related post with a controversial bent on Greg Savage’s day off? Look no further than Fistful of Talent. A team of bloggers posts almost daily offering insight in eye-catching posts such as When You Need to Recruit for a Bad Manager and The LeBron Effect: Downsizing at a Company Near You. Bonus points for no less than five pop culture references in post stretching from July 29th to August 10th.
HR Marketer Blog
Dedicated to the human resource marketplace, the HR Marketer Blog practically defines the phrase ‘substantial content.’ Recognized as a top HR blog by Alltop and The Daily Reviewer, HR Marketer Blog features no less than seven bloggers that post multiple times per week. And just in case you visit on a day off, you will also find a newsletter, eBooks and thousands of white papers with a simple stroll down the sidebar.
The Recruiters Lounge
Professionals in any industry know that the best, most strategic ideas seem to almost magically appear after taking some time to relax and reflect. Hence, The Recruiters Lounge is a perfect online destination where you can do both, while still maintaining a laser-like focus on your work at hand and industry at large.

Human capital management, or talent management, is essential to the informal learning infrastructure. Experts estimate that 80 percent of organizational knowledge exists exclusively within an individual. If the individual leaves the organization, the organization stands to lose the knowledge if it has not been captured. The implication is that HPTs must adopt methods of extracting individual knowledge into an organized data base or learning systems that can be drawn upon by the entire organization.
